US stores are shipping the Brooks Ghost 17 to Italy faster than local retailers right now

The hype around the Brooks Ghost 17 2026 edition

The Brooks Ghost 17 has just landed, and the 2026 launch edition is already making waves in the running community. This version features the updated DNA Loft v3 nitrogen-infused cushioning, which makes it lighter and more responsive than previous years. Runners in Italy are particularly interested in the US-exclusive 'Spring Break' colorways. These limited editions feature vibrant aesthetics that usually don't make it to European retail shelves until much later in the year, if at all.

Neutral runners appreciate the Ghost series for its consistency. The 17th edition doesn't change the formula too much, but the refined mesh upper provides better breathability for those summer runs along the coast. Because the US market gets these special editions first, many Italian athletes are choosing to import them to stay ahead of the pack.

Ordering your pair from US stores

Shopping directly from US retailers is the most reliable way to secure the 2026 launch edition. Most Italian shoppers find that the variety in the US is far superior to local options. To do this, you need a **tax-free US address** provided by a **parcel forwarding service**. When you sign up with comGateway, you get a dedicated address in a tax-free state like Oregon. This means you won't pay US sales tax on your purchase, which helps keep the total price down.

Once you have your address, you can shop us ship international with ease. You simply enter your US address at the checkout of your favorite running store. After the store delivers your Ghost 17s to the warehouse, you receive a notification and can decide when to ship them to your home in Italy.

The BuyForMe solution for blocked orders

Some US stores present a specific challenge for international shoppers. High-demand retailers like Nike, Sephora, or even specialized running shops often block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are sent to known forwarders. This can be frustrating when you are trying to snag a limited release like the Ghost 17.

The **BuyForMe** service is the solution to this problem. Instead of you placing the order yourself and risking a cancellation, comGateway buys the item on your behalf. They use a US domestic credit card and a billing address that the stores accept. This is the safest way to guarantee your order goes through without a hitch. If you have struggled with a store refusing your Italian payment method, this assisted purchase service removes that barrier entirely.

Getting your sneakers to Italy quickly

Speed is the main reason to import the Brooks Ghost 17. Using a freight forwarder allows you to choose from various shipping methods depending on how fast you want your shoes. Express options can get your package from the US warehouse to your door in Italy in as little as 3 to 5 business days.

You can check the current international shipping rates to compare different couriers. Whether you prefer DHL, FedEx, or another carrier, having the choice gives you control over the delivery timeline. Most runners find that even with the shipping time, they still get their shoes weeks before the local Italian distributors receive their stock.

Understanding shipping costs and import tax

Before you hit the buy button, it is a good idea to plan your budget. The total cost includes the price of the shoes, the shipping fee, and any local taxes. You can use the shipping calculator to get a clear estimate of what the transit will cost based on the weight of the shoe box.

When the package enters Italy, it will be subject to an import tax and VAT. Since Italy is part of the EU, goods coming from the USA are processed through customs. Being aware of these fees beforehand ensures there are no surprises when the courier arrives at your door. Even with these additional costs, the ability to own a 2026 exclusive colorway that isn't available in Milan or Rome makes the process worth it for many running enthusiasts.
