Ghost Amp

Speed TrainerReleased 2026-07-15US

Ghost Amp is a lightweight road trainer built on the Ghost 18 last for daily miles and uptempo sessions. Nitrogen-infused DNA HYPE blends EVA cushioning with PEBA responsiveness, while a denser SpringRamp foam layer under the forefoot adds a springier toe-off without a carbon plate. A warp-knit upper secures the foot, and zoned rubber at the heel and forefoot protects high-wear areas while limiting outsole weight.
