With Brooks’ nitrogen-infused DNA Loft V3 cushioning, additional improvements to the fit and new RoadTack rubber for better grip, the all-new Brooks Ghost 16 is all about lightweight comfort.

Our cushioning technology has gone through many developments in the last few years and now offers ‘just feels right’ softness that is lightweight and comfortable

With comfort still our number one consideration, the Ghost 16 is not merely a line extension, but a leap forward for the Ghost series. It incorporates inventive materials and thoughtful design adjustments,” says Gerard Klein, Footwear Merchandising Director EMEA at Brooks Running. “The biggest improvement is the inclusion of the DNA Loft v3 foam. Our cushioning technology has gone through many developments in the last few years and now offers ‘just feels right’ softness that is lightweight and comfortable. The shift to this lighter foam not only enhances performance but also ensures a more comfortable run.”

The Ghost 16 is the first in the beloved Ghost series containing DNA Loft V3 cushioning, which can already be found in the Glycerin series. Due to the infused nitrogen the cushioning is 10% lighter, 9% softer and gives 10% more energy return than DNA Loft V2.

Enhanced Durability and Traction
The introduction of a new RoadTack rubber in the Ghost 16 not only boosts the shoe’s durability, but also its friction capabilities. This allows the Ghost 16 to maintain its stack height while offering better longevity, ensuring that runners can tackle more miles. The shoe offers a soft and responsive ride, a secure fit and a smooth transition. The Brooks Ghost 16 is equipped with an enhanced air mesh upper. Renowned for its breathability, flexibility and support, this material guarantees a comfortable fit that blends stretch with structure.

Wear Testers Say:
“It’s so cushioned and just the right amount for me. The fit is fantastic, and the shoe is lightweight.”

The Ghost 16 is now available online at brooksrunningsa.co.za and at Sportsmans Warehouse, selected Total Sports and Independent Running Specialist accounts.
