Brooks Ghost Max 2 Video Review: Smoothie Comfort Max Cushion Road Cruising!

Video by Sam Winebaum

Brooks Ghost Max 2 ($150) 

Brooks updates its max cushion cruiser with DNA Loft v3 supercritical foam and with a new yet more plush upper. 

In the video I detail the shoe, discuss fit and ride, compare to v1 and reach some conclusions.

Pros:

Ideal slower runs, beginner, heavier runner shoe: stable and protective

Polished and friendly: plush from upper to ground done right

Deep and appropriately energetic cushion: supercritical DNA Loft v3 foam

Big for sure but never lumbering despite giant stack height

Surprisingly breathable

Cons:

Don’t expect to go fast here: not its purpose
