Most Interesting New Brooks Running Shoes 2025
Here are some of the most interesting models of Brooks running shoes that will be released this year:
Brooks Ghost 17 – Your Go-To Daily Trainer, Now Softer Than Ever
The Brooks Ghost 17 continues the legacy of the beloved Ghost series with subtle yet meaningful upgrades aimed at enhancing comfort, sustainability, and all-around performance. Released on May 1, 2025, this versatile trainer remains a favorite for both runners and walkers seeking smooth, balanced cushioning for everyday miles.
What’s new? Brooks has refined the midsole by adding more DNA Loft v3 foam—an extra millimeter in the heel and three millimeters in the forefoot—resulting in a plusher feel from landing to toe-off. This nitrogen-infused foam delivers a soft yet stable ride, perfect for everything from easy jogs to long walks or even hours on your feet at work.
Design-wise, the Ghost 17 uses a breathable double jacquard mesh upper, providing an adaptive, supportive fit while allowing airflow to keep your feet cool. A padded collar and well-structured heel offer additional support without feeling stiff.
Underfoot, the outsole features a durable recycled rubber compound with excellent grip and responsiveness. Carefully placed flex grooves in the sole promote smoother transitions, helping you move through your stride more naturally and efficiently.
Bonus: The Ghost 17 is both PDAC A5500 Diabetic shoe certified and recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) for promoting foot health. It’s also a carbon-neutral product, reflecting Brooks’ continued efforts toward more sustainable running gear.

Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 – Race Day Redefined
The Hyperion Elite 5 is engineered for speed — and tested at the highest level. Des Linden debuted a prototype version during the 2024 Boston Marathon, setting the tone for what this carbon-plated racer can deliver. At just 6.9 ounces, it’s even lighter than its predecessor, thanks in part to the newly introduced Speed Deck outsole rubber, which manages to be both featherweight and grippy — especially in wet conditions.
With a 7.2 mm drop and 7.5% more DNA Gold foam throughout the midsole, runners can expect enhanced energy return while maintaining durability over long distances. This shoe is for serious competitors looking to shave seconds from their time.
- Release date: July 1, 2025
- Price: $275
Brooks Hyperion Max 3 – High Stack, Maximum Speed
The Hyperion Max 3 builds on the performance lineage of Brooks’ fastest training shoes, now upgraded with the responsive DNA Gold midsole foam. At 9.9 ounces for a US men’s size 9, it offers a solid balance of cushioning and agility. The shoe features a 6 mm drop and integrates a Speedball plate for snappy transitions and added propulsion.
One of the most interesting details? It’s technically illegal for elite racing under World Athletics regulations due to its geometry — but it’s perfectly fine (and fun) for everyday runners chasing PRs in training or on race day. Flexibility has improved compared to earlier versions, making it a versatile weapon for tempo sessions and long runs alike.
- Release date: July 1, 2025
- Price: $200
Brooks Ghost Max 3 – Comfort Meets Stability
Returning in August 2025, the Ghost Max 3 continues to carve out its niche as one of Brooks’ most cushioned and stable daily trainers. It maintains the nitrogen-injected DNA Loft v2 midsole and a broad base for smoother transitions, supported by GlideRoll Rocker technology that encourages a rolling stride.
The upper has also received a welcome update, now featuring a soft double Jacquard mesh that enhances breathability and overall comfort. Compared to the previous version, expect a softer ride that still provides solid support for daily miles and recovery runs.
- Release date: August 1, 2025
- Price: $150
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 – Stability Without the Bulk
Celebrating its 25th edition, the Adrenaline GTS 25 is shaping up to be Brooks’ best version yet of this iconic stability shoe. With more stack height and added cushioning, the shoe retains its nitrogen-infused DNA Loft midsole while now co-molding the GuideRails directly into the structure — enhancing support while shedding unnecessary weight.
With a 10 mm drop, the Adrenaline GTS 25 offers a softer feel underfoot compared to previous generations while maintaining the trusted support that overpronators and long-distance runners rely on.
- Release date: November 1, 2025
- Price: TBD (likely around $140–$150)
