11/20/2022 0 Comments Brooks ghost![]() The Ghost 10’s forefoot gets an updated engineered mesh, and there’s reduced usage of the 3D Stretch print material over the sides. That changes on the Ghost 10, which now uses a regular, stitched-on toe bumper. The last year’s Ghost 9 had a fused toe-cap with a small ‘canopy’ extending over the big toe. There are narrow bands of tightly-knit mesh areas near the midsole edge and over the forefoot, and in between are zones with larger pores for ventilation. The Stretch Print is applied over the mid and rearfoot, while the forefoot is built of engineered mesh. ![]() The Brooks marketing name for this is 3D Stretch Print, a nod to the printing’s semi-elastic nature. Most of the Ghost 10’s upper is made out of engineered mesh, and high-density printed layers. Still, the summary is that the new Ghost 10 comes with an increase in forefoot room, is more flexible, and happens to be a bit softer and lighter than the outgoing model. ![]() The upper fits just right, being neither too snug nor excessively spacious.Īnd what of changes between Ghost 9 and 10? We’ll eventually cover this topic in greater detail as we always do. The midsole doesn’t have the springy feedback of Boost or Everun, but there’s cushioning in plenty. There’s also the consistency of upper fit and ride quality with the Ghost 10, and that makes the latter’s case as a versatile everyday neutral trainer very strong. Even though Ghost 10 isn’t Brooks’s most expensive neutral shoe (the Glycerin is), it is heads and shoulders above the rest when it comes to the level of materials used.īut will Brooks’s material generosity last for long? I can’t say for sure, but let’s enjoy this fleeting moment while we can. This approach applies to some of the more expensive shoes too.īrooks’s design approach contrasts they continue to use shoemaking materials that look and feel premium. Many of the new running shoes in the $110-130 price-band are stripped-down versions of their former designs, relying heavily on a minimal design language and material specs to reduce manufacturing costs. You see, the rest of the footwear industry is on a penny-pinching drive. The all-foam Ghost has also grown on us over the past few years, based simply on the merit of the product. But that was back in 2014, and the whole DNA foam-Gel thing is a non-issue now – at least from a marketing perspective. ![]() Brooks described the new ‘DNA’ foam the same way it did the Gel, which we thought, was somewhat misleading. The outrage wasn’t so much about the foam midsole per se after all, brands change their cushioning technologies all the time.
