#BROOKS GHOST 14 FULL#

The headline change here is the introduction of Brooks’ DNA Loft foam in the midsole that now runs the full length of the shoe, joining Brook’s Glycerin shoe in offering something that promises softer cushioning that’s more responsive and along with a segmented crash pad, delivers smoother transitions.īelow that DNA Loft foam is a heavy spread of blown rubber on the outsole that’s well distributed at the heel up to the forefoot to make sure it’s a stable ride and there’s plenty here to pound the pavement. On the shoe, that’s represented by using materials in the upper containing a minimum of 30% recycled polyester. Brooks says you can expect to see the same approach taken with the Brooks 15 and 16 shoes. That includes materials, assembling and packaging. The carbon footprint of the 14 is apparently 10.34kg, and its carbon impact is covered for the full life of the shoe.

Designīrooks has made a big deal about the fact this is its first carbon neutral running shoe, so how exactly does that play out on the Ghost 14? The Brooks Ghost 14 was launched on July 1 2021, and is available from select retailers and the Brooks website (opens in new tab) for $130 / £120 / AU$229.95. It’s a bit chunkier looking than some other daily runners, but it ticks all of the right boxes to make it a really strong option for beginner runners for those casual runs or for someone that wants a shoe for long training sessions where comfort and durability are the main priorities. It’s not the most exciting to run in, but the upper is comfortable and supportive and it’s a nicely cushioned, responsive ride. It’s a shoe that offers a solid overall running experience.
