Ghost Max

Max Cushion2023-09 · US · ReleaseChecked 2026-10-03

The original Ghost Max is a neutral shoe for cushioned road running and walking. A high stack of DNA LOFT v2 works with the GlideRoll Rocker to soften landings and guide heel-to-toe transitions. Its broad base and purpose-built sole geometry provide inherent stability, while breathable mesh offers extra forefoot room. It emphasizes protective comfort and smooth movement for everyday road use.
