Brooks Ghost 17
Introduction
The Brooks Ghost 17 is a men’s neutral road-running shoe engineered for daily miles and all‑day comfort. Built for runners and walkers who want a smooth, cushioned ride with reliable support, it combines plush cushioning with a secure, breathable fit.
Key Features & Design
- Upper: Double‑jacquard air mesh for breathability and a secure, comfortable fit, with a redesigned heel collar for added stability. Colorway presented as Oyster Mushroom/Orange/Ebony in the product palette.

- Design Details: Kickback collar and broader base contribute to a secure fit and stable step, while precise flex grooves promote natural foot motion.
- Outsole: Durable rubber in high‑wear zones with a guided pathway for smoother toe‑off, helping maintenance of pace and comfort.
- Sustainability: A portion of materials come from recycled sources with CarbonNeutral® certification for the product.
- Specs at a glance: 10 mm heel‑to‑toe drop, lightweight overall feel suitable for daily training and casual wear. Weight commonly cited around 286 g (men’s size), aligning with a responsive yet forgiving ride.
Best for
- Daily runs, long walks, and training sessions requiring balanced cushioning and a smooth ride.
- Runners seeking a secure fit with a comfortable ankle collar and breathable upper for all‑day wear.
- Foot comfort during extended mileage, with cushioning designed to absorb impact and reduce fatigue on joints.
- Those who value a durable outsole and versatile performance for road surfaces, with improved toe‑off flow.
Performance / Benefits
The Ghost 17 delivers a refined, softer feel without sacrificing responsiveness, thanks to DNA LOFT v3 cushioning that cushions landings while preserving a springy toe‑off. The updated upper and heel collar enhance fit and lock‑in, helping stabilize the foot during every stride. With a 10 mm drop and a wider base, it provides a comfortable, balanced platform that supports natural gait and reduces the perception of fatigue over long sessions. Runners appreciate the shoe’s smooth transitions, breathable mesh, and durable outsole—making it a dependable daily trainer for miles on the road. Brooks, renowned for its cushioned, reliable running shoes, continues to emphasize comfort, stability, and a supportive fit with the Ghost line.
