Sole Stats First Look: The Brooks Ghost AMP

By: Jared Leath, CCR Sole Stats Creator

Brooks is rounding out the Ghost lineup with something new: the Ghost AMP. Think of it as the tempo counterpart to the Ghost — the same relationship the Hoka Mach has to the Clifton, or the Saucony Endorphin Azura has to the Ride. It’s still a neutral daily trainer, but built for faster paces.

The Specs

• Weight: 8 oz (women’s) / 9 oz (men’s)
• Stack height: 30mm forefoot / 36mm heel (identical for men’s and women’s)
• Category: Neutral trainer geared toward tempo and faster-paced running

The Upper

The Ghost AMP blends performance with luxury. Up front, you get a lightweight, breathable upper that fits closer to the foot in the forefoot for a locked-in, faster feel. In the back half, Brooks adds a heavily padded tongue and heel collar for a plush, comfortable fit.

The Midsole

That same performance-meets-luxury feel carries into the midsole. Brooks pairs its new DNA Hype foam with Spring Ramp geometry for a genuinely unique ride. On landing, you sink into the foam and feel cradled as you roll through your stride, then get a responsive push-off at toe-off. With a 30mm stack height, you’re well protected without losing that natural, connected feel underfoot.

The Outsole

Expect generous rubber coverage throughout for durability and traction.

Price & Availability

The Brooks Ghost AMP is $150 — the same price as the Ghost 18 — and launches online and in-store at Charm City Run on July 9th.

We can’t wait to see what you think of this amped-up ride.
