Ghost 16
The Ghost 16 is the industry benchmark for reliability and transparency, featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam for a more consistent ride. It is one of the few high-performance shoes with a certified Carbon Neutral footprint.
Ingredients & Purity
Uses DNA LOFT v3, a supercritical nitrogen-infused EVA. This process creates larger, more consistent cell structures than chemical foaming, leading to better durability.
Scientific Evidence
Brooks utilizes SATRA-certified testing for durability and friction. The shoe is consistently top-rated by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).
Brand Transparency
Industry leader in sustainability transparency. Brooks publishes a full 'Climate Action Plan' detailing the carbon offset and recycled content (67% recycled materials in the upper).
Value Assessment
At $140, it offers the best cost-to-mileage ratio in the neutral category, often found on sale during seasonal transitions.
Why Not Alternatives?
While competitors like the Nike Pegasus have moved toward narrow, unstable platforms, Brooks maintains a consistent fit and high-density rubber outsole that excels in durability and wet-weather traction.
