The complete Brooks Ghost lineage

The Ghost is Brooks's best-selling neutral trainer and one of the most conservative lines in running. For a decade the recipe never moved: 12 mm drop, medium-soft foam, a new upper each year. Then the Ghost 17 cut the drop to 10 mm in 2025, the first geometry change in the line's history, and gave loyalists their first real reason to hunt old stock. This page tracks every version since 2020, what changed, and where remaining stock lives.
