I just got the first version last week and certainly is an amazing shoe. I hope max 2 amazes me again. Greetings from Vietnam
I absolutely loved V1. I was shocked at that because I’m not a huge brooks fan. Great design.
I bought a pair but returned, them, the cushion was okay, but they were kinda of wide
Interesting description. Like from 🇪🇸 Spain. Happy monday.
I have version one just waiting to find version 2. Can't wait till it comes out.
The first version was clunky for my running mechanics. Very comfortable for walking, but when I ran it just wasn't smooth for me. I normally get along with Brooks very well but it didn't work. Not sure if I hear anything that changed the clunk
Nice early review 🤓😎
I love version one. I've got 3 pairs. Super excited for this new version. Why don't I see this white colorway for pre order?
My only complaint with V1 is no Gusseted Tongue. Bothers me when it slides to the left. Even though it looks like V2 still isn't gusseted I'm still excited to try them out. The rocker is perfection especially for walking where most Hoka with the Early Stage Meta Rockers are too aggressive imo. Definitely going to snag a few pairs of the Ghost Max V1 on sale as well as I use them as my work shoe for standing and walking around on concrete for 10hrs. I'd pay $160 if they would just gusset the tongue lol.
good review, like to compare with Saucony Hurricane 24?
Sorry but have not personally reviewed. Hurricane is lighter Stack Height: 38mm heel / 32mm forefoot (6mm drop spec) is similar while its platform width is
wider : 100mm heel / 88mm midfoot / 125mm forefoot unlike full supercritical foam Max it has a lower level of EVA. Suspect it is more stable and more lumbering unwieldy despite lighter weight. Our H24 review: www.roadtrailrun.com/2024/07/saucony-hurricane-24-review-3.html
@@RoadTrailRun Thank you
Great review! How would you say it compares with the New Balance 1080 v13?
The 1080 v13 is considerably lighter at 9.28 oz / 263g (US9) and has a similar stack height and drop. I found it overly soft with the stretch upper no helping hold and stability. Heavier, steadier, more stable the Max is in a different more recovery to slow run class even if its foam is clearly superior in energy return and fun feel.
How does it feel like walking in it? Is it too bouncy? Or is the ghost max version 1 better for walking?
@@laoluomisade2438bouncier than v1 but not crazy bouncy. Either good for walking
When does the glycerin max come out
Not sure where Glycerin goes next at this time. Max or where it is now as a more traditional higher drop trainer
@@RoadTrailRun there's a max version coming out just didn't now when
This or the V1 for walking?
Either would be just fine but v2 would be more energetic due to new foam
Get the cheaper one if just walking
Sounds like this is more energetic than the Prima, and maybe the Glycerin thanks to the rocker?
Foam is more energetic than Prima but Prima is an ounce lighter and a faster big shoe. Despite weight prefer Ghost Max 2 to Glycerin.
Have you heard anything when the Hoka Bondi 9 will release? I have looked everywhere and I can't find anything. They are due to release a new version of the Bondi soon I would think, since the Bondi 8 has been out since July 2022.
I would expect soon. Let me try to find out
@@RoadTrailRun Thanks
These or the NB More V5 for a max cushioned cruiser?
Our team has More v5 I personally don't have it so can't comment directly but in our written review will. Compared to More v4 absolutely no question for me the Ghost Max 2 is a better option. More energetic foam, smoother rolling more rockered geometry. I do see More v5 has a new rocker geometry which could for sure help.
@@RoadTrailRun Yeah I ran in the More V5 it wasn't very lively and felt cumbersome excited to test the Ghost Max 2 once it comes in
Is the width in the midfoot and forfoot wider in comparrison to V1
Yes slighty wider at midfoot with forefoot about the same width but feels higher over the toes for me.
@@RoadTrailRun great to know. I pre ordered them when they were available and am just waiting for shipping in aug. I have had V1 and the wide is way to wide as it over stretches and leaves the shoe floppy in the toe box. Im hoping this V2 is wider than normal so i wont have that excess material creasing in the toe box. thanks for the respons
@@RoadTrailRun so does the toe box have more upper space to wiggle around.
A bit more but not significantly more
A bit more but not significantly more
How does this feel compared to Saucony Shift or Hurricane?
Easier to transition and superior foam to Shift. Haven’t personally ever tested Hurricane but latest likely closer to Max as no more plastic pieces and inherently stable. Our Hurricane 24 review: www.roadtrailrun.com/2024/07/saucony-hurricane-24-review-3.html
@@RoadTrailRun thank you!
Did you go with exact size? Or a half size bigger?
exact usual true to size. see video for toe room in Fit section
