Brooks Ghost Max 4 Men’s Running Shoes
The Brooks Ghost Max 4 Men’s Running Shoes are men's neutral road running shoes designed to deliver maximum comfort, protective cushioning and smooth transitions through every kilometre. Built for daily training and longer road runs, they combine DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, a rocker shaped midsole and a broad, stable platform to create a comfortable ride that helps reduce impact on every stride. Finished in Black / Folkstone / Open Air, they are an excellent option for runners who want soft cushioning with dependable stability.
The Ghost Max 4 features DNA LOFT v3 midsole cushioning, delivering a soft and protective underfoot feel while maintaining the durability needed for regular road running. The generous cushioning helps lessen the impact of repeated foot strikes, making the shoe well suited to daily training and higher mileage weeks.
A carefully designed rocker geometry helps guide your foot smoothly from heel strike through to toe off. This assisted transition creates a more fluid stride, helping your run feel natural and efficient from the beginning of your session through to the final kilometres.
Supporting the cushioning is a broad platform that provides a stable and accommodating feel underfoot. This wider base helps create a confident ride without changing the shoe's neutral running design, making it suitable for runners who appreciate extra stability through the shoe's construction rather than additional support features.
The engineered mesh upper provides breathable comfort while adapting to the foot for a secure fit. Combined with the lightweight cushioning and smooth ride, the Ghost Max 4 is built for runners who want comfort to remain consistent across every training run.
