The new Run Merry shoes from Brooks break two of my rules for life: do not choose shoes based on the look and do not decorate for the holidays before Thanksgiving. But since its Brooks, I’m happy to break right through those rules. That’s because I know that Brooks shoes are always well made, supportive, and long-lasting. They are my go-to shoes for general life. And the holiday decorating part…well its 2024 and I for one need a little Christmas right this very minute.

The holiday season is always filled with excitement, whether you’re gearing up for a festive run, soaking in the magic of the season, or just enjoying a well-earned break. But for some of us, there’s another reason to get excited: the annual launch of the Brooks Run Merry Collection. And guess what? It’s here!
This collection is all about bringing seasonal cheer to some of Brooks’ most beloved shoes, and the Ghost 16’s Run Merry design – always the pinnacle of anticipation -doesn’t disappoint.

Perfect for the Season
Whether you’re lacing up for a winter run, hitting a holiday party, or simply adding some seasonal flair to your wardrobe, the Ghost 16 Run Merry is a great pick. It’s festive without overdoing it, making it versatile and fun.
Don’t wait too long—this collection always goes fast. Snag your pair before they’re gone and step into the holiday spirit in style!
Festive Design Highlights
This year’s look is a bit more understated compared to the bold whites and reds of past collections.
Instead, the design leans into deep greens with subtle pops of red, creating a classy and festive vibe. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Plaid Padded Collar: A pink, red, and green plaid detail around the collar hints at the holidays without being too flashy.
Festive Laces: Red, white, and green laces with a touch of sparkle add just the right amount of holiday spirit.
Hidden Pine Needle Design: The upper isn’t just a plain black or green—it’s decorated with faint pine needle patterns, adding an extra layer of seasonal charm.
Snowflakes & Ornaments: Brooks included snowflake accents on the side logos and a playful ornament graphic on the heel for an extra festive touch.
