I'm in the 14s right now but I need a new pair soon. I'll probably get the 15s

Anyone here have the Brooks Ghost 15? I think they are awesome.

I reallly wish adidas pushed their running line more


Nike and their marketing budget and r&d budget will always be #1, but I'd say adidas is easily #2 in the running game right now.

They aren't coming out with a plethora of budget focused shoes to compete with Hoka or brooks, however, their race and high end trainers are arguably just as good as nike's. They're also pumping a ton of money into sponsorships; podiums are pretty much exclusively the alphafly, vaporfly or adios pro 3.

Over the years, I’ve run in Brooks, ASICS, mizuno’s and Hoka’s.

I run in Hoka Bondi’s now. There are so many things to take into consideration in terms of how you run, that’d I suggest you go to a place that can evaluate your running form so that you are fitted for a shoe that works best for you.

Side note- the Hoka Bondi isn’t a comfortable shoe for me to wear everyday. Those are just for running.
The hoka Arahi are my go to for work or just kicking around.

yea but it feels like adidas just focus' more on their lifestyle shite than anything. It feels so much harder to just go out and get one of adidas good running shoe than it is to get a pegasus/ghost/clifton/etc.

How do you like the Ghost Max? I’m looking at them now. I currently have Ghost 14.

Got the 15s and done a couple of short runs in them. I've got a 75 minute run tomorrow to really see how they perform. Good so far.

What do you think of the Max?

Love the max. I wasn’t a fan of the ghosts before but these are different. Great cushioning and the rocker on them is top notch. They are a bit wide so be prepared for that but I have no complaints.

Go to a running store and try some on. Everyone is different. Some people love Hoka's, some love brooks, some love asics, etc. I personally have always had brooks and never had an injury or an issue. Everyone is different though

Ghosts are great. I really like the Nike Zoom Pegasus 40. I bought the Saints ones and they’re surprising really great running shoes.

Brooks for me. I’ve run in both the Ghosts and Glycerin, and actually prefer the Glycerin. But both are the only ones I wear.

Have Brooks Ghost. Hoka Bondi. Sacony Endorphin. All great shoes. The Sacony might be better than the Hoka.

I currently am running in Brooks Levitate. They are way easier to run in than the ghost. Ghost hurt my knees, as they felt heavy.
