Performance / Benefits

The Ghost Max 3 delivers a softer, more protective step thanks to DNA Loft v3 cushioning, which helps decrease underfoot pressure on every stride. The GlideRoll rocker works in concert with a broad base to create a smooth, stable ride, easing the stress on knees, hips, and the back during long days or recovery miles. An engineered, breathable upper and roomier forefoot enhance comfort for a variety of foot shapes, including those who use orthotics, while RoadTack rubber provides durable grip and lasting durability. This combination supports a comfortable, efficient stride without sacrificing stability or foot health.
