Features
Discover what comfort feels like in the Brooks Ghost Max 3.
Designed for runners and walkers who want every step to feel supported, the Ghost Max 3 delivers maximum cushioning without compromising the smooth, natural transitions that make long miles feel effortless. This isn't just about more foam—it's about smarter cushioning that works with your body's natural movement. With nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam and GlideRoll Rocker technology, the Ghost Max 3 helps reduce underfoot pressure while actively assisting your heel-to-toe transitions, so you can focus on enjoying your run instead of counting down the miles.
Details:
- Upper: New high-fidelity textile delivers a soft, premium feel that wraps your foot in comfort from the first step to the last. The design balances breathability with the protective support you need for longer efforts.
- Midsole: A high stack of nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning provides maximum protection without the weight penalty. The low 6 mm offset works with GlideRoll Rocker technology to create smooth, assisted transitions that make every step feel effortless.
- Outsole: A broad base delivers inherent stability that supports neutral runners without interfering with your natural stride. Strategic design promotes smooth heel-to-toe transitions whether you're running or walking.
What's New

Brooks has fine-tuned the cushioning to deliver even better underfoot protection while maintaining the smooth transitions that make this shoe perfect for both running and walking. Plus, it's certified CarbonNeutral®, proving you can take care of your feet and the planet at the same time.
Who It's Best For
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is a great option for anyone who spends time on their feet and wants to feel great doing it.

Excellent Walker
This is the second pair, same color, same style for it works! I would love to get a different color but it's never available in my size and width. Would love to see more choices.

Great pair of brooks
I liked that the drop isn't super extreme in this shoe, there's a lot of stability and cushion at the same time, which I find is hard to find simultaneously in running shoes right now. I've been struggling with knee tendinitis for a while and like that these shoes help me feel more connected to the ground, while still supported. Cushioned, but not super bouncy. Highly recommend!
