Coming from the Dyad? Start here.

The discontinued Dyad remains part of Brooks' history. If its roomy fit and steady platform worked for you, Ghost Max is a useful next fitting conversation. It has its own cushioning and rolling geometry, so try it on rather than assuming it will feel identical.

What Dyad runners valued

Dyad 11 paired a spacious fit with BioMoGo DNA cushioning, a broad platform and Dual Arch Pods. It was a neutral shoe with room for orthotics and a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop.

What changes with Ghost Max

Ghost Max 4 uses DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, a broad base and a GlideRoll rocker with a 6 mm drop. The rolling transition is a key difference to feel on your own feet.

A successor conversation, with a different feel

Brooks describes Ghost Max as comparable to Dyad for its neutral design, wider platform and removable insoles. In its customer Q&A, Brooks also clarifies that Ghost Max 2 did not directly replace Dyad. That is why we connect the families here while keeping their differences clear.

If you use an orthotic, bring it and your usual socks. Compare toe room, heel hold and how the rocker feels while walking and jogging. A familiar size is a starting point, and the different geometry deserves a fresh fit check.
