Brooks Ghost Amp
$150
Star Rating is 5 / 5
A springy, energetic daily trainer with Brooks' new DNA HYPE foam, SpringRamp forefoot technology and a performance-inspired fit.
Features
Picture the dependable, trustworthy Brooks Ghost — then give it a shot of espresso. That's the Brooks Ghost Amp. Sharing the same structural last as the Ghost 18, the Amp delivers that familiar, comfortable fit runners already know while swapping the traditional midsole foam for something considerably more energetic. DNA HYPE foam blends EVA cushioning with PEBA responsiveness for a ride that feels soft and protective on easy days and genuinely peppy when you decide to push the pace.
No carbon plate here, but Brooks' SpringRamp technology makes a strong case that you don't need one. A denser foam under the forefoot creates a firm, springy platform that launches you into your next stride with a satisfying pop. The result sits somewhere between a classic daily trainer and a true performance shoe, making the Brooks Ghost Amp a versatile option that handles easy miles, run club evenings and tempo efforts with equal enthusiasm.
Details:
- Upper: A thin warp-knit upper with bold color blocking gives the Ghost Amp a performance-forward look, while generous padding in the heel collar and tongue keeps the comfort level squarely in everyday trainer territory.
- Midsole: DNA HYPE foam combines EVA cushioning and PEBA responsiveness in a single midsole package — delivering the soft, comfortable feel of a traditional daily trainer with noticeably more energy return. SpringRamp technology adds a denser foam layer under the forefoot for a firm, propulsive toe-off without the rigidity of a carbon plate.
- Outsole: A strategically zoned rubber outsole covers high-abrasion areas at the heel and forefoot for lasting durability without unnecessary weight.

Lighter than light
When the box with my Ghost shoes arrived and I picked it up on the porch, I thought Fleet Feet forgot to include the shoes inside. The box was so light it felt empty. Nope. It contained just a pair of perfectly fit, size 13, Ghost Amp that makes running feel like running on air.
