Which is lighter, the Brooks Ghost 14 or the Ghost 15?

Neither by a meaningful margin. Both weigh about 9.9 oz in a men's US 9.

Did the price change between the Brooks Ghost 14 and the Ghost 15?

Yes. List price went up $10, from $130 to $140. Street prices differ: the older shoe usually sells under list once its successor ships.

Do the Brooks Ghost 14 and Ghost 15 come in the same widths?

Yes. Both run in B, D, 2E, 4E for men's sizes, so a width that fit in the Ghost 14 carries over to the Ghost 15.

How do the stack heights compare?

36 mm heel and 24 mm forefoot on the Brooks Ghost 14, against 35 mm and 23 mm on the Ghost 15. That is 1 mm less under the heel and 1 mm less under the forefoot.

Is the Ghost 15 still the newest Ghost?

No. The Ghost 16 replaced it in 2024, so the Ghost 15 now sells as an older model and usually below its $140 list price.
