Men's Brooks Ghost Amp

The Ghost Amp is new for 2026 and sits next to the Ghost 18, not in place of it. Brooks swapped in DNA Hype, a nitrogen-infused PEBA and EVA blend that is softer and more energetic than DNA LOFT v3, and shaped it with SpringRAMP geometry for a quicker roll through the stride. The result is about an ounce and a half lighter than the Ghost 18 with 4 mm more foam under the forefoot and a lower 6 mm drop. The Warp Knit upper is thin through the midfoot and breathes well. Pick this for easy and steady-pace runs when you want a daily trainer that feels fast. Keep the Ghost 18 for the plushest long-run comfort.
