Brooks Ghost 17, $110 (was $150)
Why do we like this deal?
Brooks running shoes are the most desired in 2026, with even power players like Hoka and On eating up considerable market share. The number 1 model year after year is the Ghost. This shoe has a loyal following, and for the most part, it feels consistently comfortable through each new version. They usually sell out quickly when they go on sale, but a select number of Model 17s are still available despite getting another round of discounts.
You can now purchase a pair of Brooks Ghost 17 runners for $110, which is 27% off their usual price of $150. Now that the Ghost 18 is officially live, the discount has actually increased from the initial 20% markdown. As said, these will sell out fast. If your favorite size and color is already sold out, Amazon is probably your next best bet.

Compared to the previous iteration, the Ghost 17 has more foam in the heel and forefoot for an extra cushioned ride. It also wears a redesigned upper that has been tuned for breathability and a structured, comfortable fit, while the collar at the heel has been reshaped to reduce irritation in the Achilles.
The midsole is made of Brooks’ nitrogen-packed DNA Loft V3 foam; The foam contains nitrogen gas bubbles which make it light and flexible. This gives the shoe a soft but responsive feel that runners love. Above, the well-cushioned upper feels comfortable around the foot, and the relatively wide sole shape enhances stability when running and walking. On the bottom, the grooved high-coverage rubber outsole promotes flexibility as well as produces reliable grip, so the shoe moves with your foot throughout your stride.
The sole of the Ghost 18 appears to be the same as the 17, but Brooks focused on refining the overall fit of the shoe in the 18th iteration – with changes like a new triple-layer upper and a stretch knit tongue.
