If you’ve been waiting for a sign to upgrade your running shoes, 2026 is the best time. The Brooks Ghost Max 2 currently has a new color (perfect for winter) and is now only $160 at Brooks. The style is live now, but some sizes are already selling out, especially in popular colors like Black and Nightshadow.
The Ghost Max 2 has become one of America’s most popular running shoes due to its hip, neutral style and slight chunky aesthetic. Many are wearing them to work out, but also to fashion events, errands, and nights on the town. Their low-key style makes them very versatile, and reviewers say the shoe’s comfort is unmatched for all-day wear.
In terms of performance, the Brooks Ghost Max 2 has a rocker sole design that creates a gentle forward roll with each step, making walking and running easier on your knees. The Ghost Max 2 also comes in three widths (narrow, regular, and wide).
If you’re not sure about them, Brooks has a 90-day wear-and-return policy, even if you’ve already worn them around.
