Brooks Ghost 18 Running Shoes
The Brooks Ghost 18 continues the legacy of one of the most popular neutral road running shoes, delivering the soft, smooth and dependable ride runners know and trust. Updated with a refreshed upper and outsole, it keeps the comfort-focused feel of the Ghost series while improving fit, breathability and durability.
Underfoot, the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning provides soft landings, excellent shock absorption and a smooth transition from heel to toe. Whether you are building weekly mileage, heading out for an easy run, walking, or simply looking for everyday comfort, the Ghost 18 offers a reliable ride that feels natural from the first step.
The redesigned engineered mesh upper adapts to a variety of foot shapes, giving a secure but comfortable hold without feeling restrictive. A soft, flat-knit tongue adds extra protection across the top of the foot, while the upgraded OrthoLite sockliner brings added step-in comfort and rebound.
Finished with a lightweight RoadTack rubber outsole made using recycled silica, the Ghost 18 offers durable grip for road miles while taking a more considered approach to materials.
Ideal For
Road running, daily training, easy miles, walking and general fitness.
Upper
The updated upper uses breathable triple jacquard engineered mesh to help hold the foot securely in place while allowing airflow throughout your run. A two-tone engineered air mesh improves ventilation, while the smooth, flexible flat-knit tongue has a plush, cushioned feel to reduce pressure across the top of the foot.
Midsole
The DNA LOFT v3 midsole is nitrogen-infused to deliver lightweight, soft and responsive cushioning. It helps absorb impact, supports smooth transitions and keeps the ride comfortable over a range of distances. An upgraded OrthoLite X-60 sockliner adds extra rebound and step-in softness.
Outsole
The lightweight RoadTack rubber outsole is made from a blend of rubber and recycled silica, giving durable traction for road running while supporting a more sustainable manufacturing process.
