Brooks Ghost 17 W

Brooks is a well-known brand specializing in running shoes. The brand was founded in 1914 by John Brooks Goldenburg and initially specialized in ballet slippers and bathing shoes. Over time, it expanded into making baseball cleats (which were also worn by Mickey Mantle!) and roller skates, and in the early 1970s it ventured into making running shoes. Global presence: Brooks has its worldwide headquarters in Seattle, right along the Burke-Gilman running and biking trail next to Lake Union. It also has a flagship retail store called Brooks Trailhead. Additionally, their gear is used by runners in over 50 countries, with a second home in Amsterdam. Brooks designs their equipment in the lab, but brings it to life on a human level. Their world-leading researchers study physiology and biomechanics to ensure that your every move is comfortable when wearing their equipment.
