I review the Ghost Max. Comparisons include Brooks Glycerin, ASICS GEL-Nimbus 25, Nike InfinityRN 4, Puma Magnify Nitro 2 and Saucony Triumph 21.
Watch the Brooks Ghost Max Video Review (12:44)
The Max is no surprise.. the max cushion flavor of the Ghost with the same DNA Loft v2 foam but with a much higher 39mm heel / 33mm forefoot stack and thus also half the heel to toe drop of the regular Ghost at 6mm. It is moderately inherently stable.
To move the big soft stack along it features Brooks new GlideRoll technology of carve outs into the midsole and decoupling of the outsole which proved effectivefor me.
Weight is approx. 10.25 oz /290g US9 with pricing at $150. The Ghost Max will release September 2023.
Full Multi Tester Review soon.
Sam is the Editor and Founder of Road Trail Run. He is 66 with a 2018 3:40 Boston qualifier. 2022 was Sam’s 50th year of running. He has a decades old 2:28 marathon PR. These days he runs halves in the just sub 1:40 range if he gets very very lucky, training 30-40 miles per week mostly at moderate paces on the roads and trails of New Hampshire and Utah be it on the run, hiking or on nordic skis. He is 5’9” tall and weighs about 164 lbs, if he is not enjoying too many fine New England IPA’s.

The dimensions, look, and decoupled outsole remind me quite a bit of the Caldera 4/5. Although it was a trail shoe, that was one I really enjoyed on the road as well. Eager to see the full review!
