Brooks Men's Hyperion Tempo Road Running Shoe

Product Information

The Adrenaline has been popular as an every day training shoe for overpronators for years, and is now in its 22nd iteration. The latest version features Brooks' DNA Loft midsole foam from heel to toe, and offers a soft, cushioned ride. In the latest models (the Adrenaline 21 and Adrenaline GTS 22), the medial post which was used in the past to correct overpronation has been replaced by Brooks’ innovative GuideRails. These are two firm pieces of foam on either side of the heel which reduce the rolling of the foot inward. Brooks says the technology also helps correct alignment of the knee and ankle. Performance: A (a true do-it-all shoe that can be used for easy runs, workouts, and races for runners who prefer a non-plated shoe ) Fit: A- (exceptional fit and comfort, but I need to wear men's version for the width and the tongue stability could be improved with gusseting ) The Cascadia is Brooks' best-known trail shoe, largely thanks to legendary ultra-runner Scott Jurek being such a big fan. And you really need to be channelling your inner Scott Jurek to get the most out of these shoes, as they’re built for long runs on mountainous terrain. In the 16 th version, there’s an extra 2mm of cushioning, and the midsole is now made up of Brooks’ DNA LOFT v2 foam, making it 10 percent softer and 20 percent lighter than the Cascadia 15.

DPT/Footwear Science: A (nice use of lateral sole flare to improve 1st MTP loading, but may not work for those with medial stability needs at the forefoot) From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected.

Brooks Hyperion Max Sole Unit

With the new Hyperion Max running shoe, Brooks is really pushing the envelope. This shoe has been specifically designed with speed in mind. Hyperion Max shoes incorporate nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH cushioning that is both lightweight and energy-efficient, maximising your stride. The heel and toe in the Hyperion Max are curved in accordance with Rapid Roll technology so that your transitions will be faster than ever. If you’re looking to better your race performance, you can’t beat Hyperion Max shoes! David: The Hyperion Max fits true to size in my normal Men's 9.5. The width of the shoe is normal to slightly snug throughout. The forefoot is normal width. The volume through the tongue and dorsal aspect of the foot leans on the snug end, though the tongue pads it just enough. The tongue is thin and performance oriented. The mesh is very lightweight and breathable. The material feels more on the synthetic plastic like mesh similar to other lightweight performance shoes. For me, the fit was pretty dialed in, though I would like to see a tad bit more volume through the midfoot section or a slightly more padded tongue.

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v3 is cheaper and equally light, and the FuelCell midsole has a softer, bouncier feel than the Hyperion Max. The Hoka Mach 5 is also light and has a smoother, more comfortable ride than the Brooks, making it a better option for longer runs in particular. The Hyperion Max may prove more durable than those shoes and some might like its firmer ride more, but I prefer to use the Mach 5 and Rebel v3 for the same kind of runs myself. If you enjoyed the Hyperion Tempo and want a similar shoe, then the nearest shoe in the Brooks Hyperion range is now the Hyperion Max. Review: https://www.northernrunner.com/blog/brooks-hyperion-max-review/ The outsole has a good amount of rubber coverage in the forefoot. This enhances both the grip and the durability of the Hyperion. All the super ‘lightspeed’ shoes with propulsion aids currently available on the market are neutral, until now. The Brooks Hyperion is available in two versions, one neutral and one with some support.Hoka Mach 5: Not quite as light and speed orientated. Sit between the Hyperion and Hyperion Max. Link to our review: https://www.northernrunner.com/blog/hoka-mach-5-review/ Personal: B ( The Hyperion Max is really fun and lightweight. For daily miles I can just roll. I would like a little more out of it for faster efforts.) If you are a mild pronator then chances are the Brooks Hyperion GTS will be the lightest, most nimble, fastest shoe with some support that you have seen on the market. The Brooks Hyperion is a great speed shoe, obviously in neutral. Stability: B [Neutral] (Stable foundation. Lateral sole flare resists motion that direction but facilitates more medial motion )

Another tester, however, didn’t get on too well with the heel drop, which at 12mm, is much higher than many other stability shoes on the market, such as the Saucony Guide 16's 8mm and Hoka Arahi’s 5mm. A few testers also felt they were a little too heavy for running at faster pacers, so wouldn’t work so well for speedwork or racing. Amphipod Hydraform Handheld Water Bottle: Perfect for long runs when you need hydration in the summer I have used the Hyperion Max for a variety of efforts, from easy runs to tempo runs and intervals. It performs decently at all of these, making it fairly versatile as most lightweight trainers shoe. It is not the fastest shoe, which is also why it works well at training paces. However, it still works well for running fast. I did find that the faster my turnover and cadence, the better this shoe tended to work due to its fast roll. The unique geometry make it a unique tool for those with certain mechanics. Those able to maximize these functions and not wanting a stiff plated shoe may also find this a solid choice for half to full marathon. It has the ability to hold uptempo paces for longer periods, so may work as a less aggressive distance racing shoe for many. This is exactly what I would expect out of solid lightweight and performance trainers, which the Hyperion Max fits nicely into category-wise. Ultraspire Fitted Race Belt:The best way to carry your phone and goods on the run. No bounce and various sizes for waist. (Also recommend the Naked belt) Delivery timescales are based on working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days.This shoe’s excellence is in its just-right DNA Flash midsole: not too soft to feel sluggish and not too firm to destroy my ankles or knees if I go more than a few miles,' said one tester. If you are a mild pronator, there aren’t many options.. and that’s why the Hyperion GTS stands out! The Brooks Launch GTS would offer a racer/trainer option that is suitable for some everyday running as well as faster running. Review: https://www.northernrunner.com/blog/brooks-launch-gts-9-review/ In the 15 th version, the midsole now features Brooks’ DNA LOFT v2 cushioning, which is compression moulded EVA, for an even lighter, plush feel, and the upper has been enhanced for added structure and breathability. The shoes were found to be true to size and had plenty of room in the toe box. Women in particular praised the fit, and the fact they're available to buy in narrow, medium, wide or extra wide fittings.
