What we like in regards to the Brooks Ghost Max 2
CHAD: I used to be in a bizarre place when the Ghost Max 2 got here in as a result of it was the one shoe I had in for testing on the time. Usually, I’ll have two or three sneakers I’m rotating between to get my miles in. So due to that, I laced up the Ghost Max 2 for 4 straight runs, all simple miles. I’ve to say, the change to the DNA Loft v3 makes a major distinction within the underfoot really feel of this shoe.
Final yr’s mannequin felt simply tender underfoot, with out a lot resilience. That made it a terrific restoration day shoe for me. However the brand new nitrogen-infused midsole feels a bit firmer, however feels extra responsive and offers a bit extra again on every step. When mixed with the GlideRoll rocker, which is similar because the OG, the trip is extremely clean. This extra resilient foam additionally will increase the inherent stability, which is evidenced by the actual fact I had little or no midsole rub markings on the medial aspect of the shoe.
I don’t know what they modified on this mannequin, however the higher feels extra comfy as properly. I really feel like it’s barely decrease quantity as a result of the Ghost Max 2 matches a little bit in a different way than the unique did, which was truly good. Additionally, white on white was so good to look down at on the run.
