The Staple x Brooks Ghost Trail running shoe has been created through a collaboration with Jeff Staple as a modern take on the trailer that doesn't put too much emphasis on hype. The sneaker is positioned as a cross terrain runner that's paired with road-friendly comfort and trail-ready grip to maximize its ability to perform, but also prioritize comfort. The shoe is paired with an understated design aesthetic that incudes a tan and off-white upper that's subtle enough for trail wear, but stylish enough for city streets.
The Staple x Brooks Ghost Trail running shoe embraces the current state of running culture where active individuals continue to seek out stylish ways to maintain their athletic performance.
