As the weather gets warmer, many are looking to run outdoors and the Ghost 14 women's road running shoe from Brooks Running offers an incredibly smooth ride "from start to finish." The updated women’s running shoe takes advantage of the brand's advanced cushioning technology to provide soft cushioning, smooth transitions, and an improved fit.
In addition, the Ghost 14 is the brand's first carbon neutral show. Notably, most upper materials are made with a minimum of 30% recycled content. Moreover, Brooks Running reduced manufacturing waste to reduce carbon emissions by 1,908,447 kg CO2eq. Lastly, the company also purchased carbon offsets, which, combined with the recycled material construction and reduced waste, ensures the sneaker is carbon neutral.
