Endorphin Speed vs. Hyperion Tempo

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- Today, I'm comparing two of my favorite shoes so far for 2020, the Saucony Endorphin Speed and the Brooks Hyperion Tempo. Think about that for a second: two of my favorite shoes right now are from Brooks and Saucony. 2020 just keeps on surprising us.
On paper, these two shoes are very different. On feet, the comparison is much closer.

Just picked up the brooks last week. I only do smaller runs, 3-7 miles. Absolutely love them so far
10 Miles today....a year long goal achieved - Thanks Kofuzi and your farm dogs. I liked Mizuno plated shoes and Speed has nice stack for my old feet. Today I can finally envision me in Speed. Thanks again. longest run since 2004 Chicago Half Marathon.
Amazing! Just started running, about two months now. Only done heavy lifting previously. Im hooked! Doing 6 miles a run 4 times a week. Nervous to try but I think 10 miles might be the goal sunday. My splits aren't great, bout 10 min
@@Unxpekted thanks....i lifted weights but found a need for aerobics as I got older. Pushups and dumbbells here and there now but regular runs are a blast and I try and buy running shoe models on sale/closeout to see what models are best. They are all good but some wear out fast!
Brook Catamount looks like it could be next shoe for review with the mix of road/trails you got for the summer!
I got my Endorphin SPEED yesterday took it out for a 8 mile intervals session. Just wow it’s great. It has a different feel, but seems to keep you on your toes and the push off is noticeable. My posture felt improved in these shoes. Very impressed 🏃♂️👟👍
I just bought both shoes! I was surprised that the Hyperion Tempo feels and acts so differently from the speeds. After trying the Speed's as a daily, I started to get shin splints but the Tempos in the mix fixed it! Thought they would be the same but in reality, they compliment each other very well! Speeds for fast runs or track work and Tempos for cruising days!
Hi, I wonder if they are same size for you? Thanks for reply!
@@menjackim I wear a 12 for most shoes and these were no expedition. They are Best brooks shoes at the moment!
Endorphin Speed. Shoe of the year. Even though it has “plate,” it feels like a shoe that can be used as a daily trainer; it does it all.
Very versatile
That shoe has killed my knee I’ve never had any knee problems before switching to them
William Olsen I don think it’s the shoe buddy
I honestly found the Nike Temp Zoom next % much better than the speed!
To squishy brooks has better energy return in my opinion. But I'm 6' 5" 180lbs so maybe that's has something to do with it.
Both of these shoes look fantastic holy moly. The blue midsole on the Brooks is soooooo cool. Great video, Kofuzi!
Man, what a year for running so far and it's only July!
Definitely want to pick up the Speed (no pun intended), but I've got some shoes in my rotation that're still relatively new... Might just wait for it to go on sale and hold onto it till I retire some of my current trainers
Thanks for the review bro 💯
I recently purchased the Endorphin Speed and ran 18 miles in them right out of the box with no problems. It’s definitely a versatile shoe. It’s good for fast or slow, long or short runs. It appears to be pretty durable so far. And at the price point of $160 US retail you really can’t go wrong.
This was a great review! The more I hear about Saucony, the more I want to try them! Perhaps even be my go-to training and racing shoes!
From the girl who can barely jog, your reviews having emptying my pockets for shoes I don't need and shoes I'm not skilled enough for. LOL. Maybe I'll put them on the shelf as #goals thats the best looking brooks and the only one who can step foot in my closet. I like fashion and function.
Great review!
Whoever designed the Hyperion Tempo should be in charge of more designs at Brooks
just keep going....see my story above
@@kofuzi exactly! I put on brooks and my feet feel sad! 😥
@@chu88y1 Will do. I'm on injury reserve right now but Therapist says one more week and I can start my journey again.
3 months later, hope you are running good now! keep it up.
Just ran 5 miles in the endorphin speed. Beyond amazed with them. The run felt so effortless. Way too impressed
Crazy good
Went on my first run with the speeds yesterday and I loved them. Got the cobalt/silver color way!
I tried both of these on today! I didn’t see your video till tonight, but I bought the Sauconys...they are amazing!! Great review!
Just ordered myself the Endorphin Speeds, looking forward to them. Totally get what you're saying about the flaking paint. I've always been partial to bright colors/whites and sure, they get dirty, but in my mind, I feel like I've "earned the dirt" through miles.
When I was younger, I would intentionally dirty up my shoes. I always thought crisp whites looked a bit weird
How do you like the shoes?have they held up well?
You’ve sold me on the Speed. Like you, I don’t think I would benefit as much from the Endorphin Pro.
You are really going to miss the beauty and the dirt roads when you go back to Chicago. I’m so fortunate to have the same.
On my first run in the tempo, it lowered my perceived effort for a tempo run down two colors in Garmin's effort spectrum. It made me faster while using less work.
Instablaster...
Fordy did a similar review yesterday. I'll leave a similar comment as I left there. I have both the Hyperion Tempo and the Saucony Speed. Small unscientific sample but I ran a duplicate tempo run on different days at the same time of day on a rolling course in both shoes and the Tempo averaged 11 seconds/mile faster. I have a hill repeat course where I run 6 repeats that are about a minute in duration. The Tempo averaged 4 seconds per repeat faster (ran the 2 workouts a week apart - temperature was 2 degrees warmer for the Tempo workout, same time of day, no gels or anything before any of these workouts). The fastest repeat with the Speed was 1 second slower than the slowest repeat with the Tempo. I weighed 1 pound lighter after the Speed workout than after the Tempo workout. Heart rate was the same average and max for both workouts - by chance, I didn't try to make them match. The Tempo is 1.05 oz lighter than the Speed in US 10.5 and it is noticeable on the hills. The Speed fits better on my narrow foot but the Tempo seems to breathe better - maybe because of the somewhat wider fit. I'm 175 pounds and the Speed seems to be a bit more of a jarring foam than the Hyperion. My achilles remind me of this. There are several shoes I prefer to the Speed including the Zoom Fly 2, but the Tempo is similar to my Vapor Fly flyknit in terms of times on course. Other's results may vary.
that's an interesting comparison. i came up the other way, running the same workout but not necessarily trying to hit the same exact times or paces. The Speed ended up being faster for me, but I have largely attributed that to the fact that I ran the workout in the Speed came first and the workout in the Tempo came two days later. So I was fresher in the Speed.
Very interesting, I thought the speed had softer foam? I have issues with my Achilles so would need the best one for that??
@@jamescushing7704 James - If you put the Speed on one foot and the Tempo on the other and walk around it is quite noticeable how the outer heal on the Speed feels kind of like it is beveled outward (less heel distal, more heel medial - or at least some sort of cushioning difference) whereas the Tempo feels more consistent and does not try to adjust you (not sure if that makes sense but if you can put one on each foot you'll see what I mean). For my stride it makes the landing a little unstable. The stack height doesn't give you that much squish so it may be built up that high to produce the rocker motion rather than the plush ride. I don't feel the plate much so to me the Speed feels like a fairly firm landing and then transitioning to a less dense feel in the toe off. The Tempo is more uniform throughout - as you may expect with using the same foam and no plate. Clearly a lot of people like the Speed but I've been finding that a lot of times when I use a shoe that tries to change what you naturally do (like the action from a plate or the hip adjustment that JW mentioned when designing the Endorphine line) that sooner or later I get niggles or injuries.
Endorphin Speed is an incredible and very versatile shoe.
I have two pairs !!!
Great review as always 👍🏻 so many great shoes out for 2020,s so tempted to get some of these shoes but I know I don’t need them right now lol
Just what I needed. Looks like I’ll be buying another pair of shoes today...
Just curious which one will it be?
The video I've been waiting for!
That was a great comparison! It makes me even more excited for my Endorphin Speed to get here next week!
I’m curious about them - how are you liking them?
How do you like them and how have they held up with durability?
I have a first impressions video, but I’m really enjoying them! They’re holding up great!
@@tfxcShoes cool ill check it out
Another great review I just order Endorphin Speed and I love the the Brooks Hyperion Tempo.
Sounds like you’ve got a lot of speedy miles ahead!
Out of the endorphin line, the speed is the one I skipped out on since it didn't really have a place in my rotation at the moment. But man all these reviews are really making me wish I didn't. I am using the Hyperion Tempo (which I love) and NB Rebel as my faster day training shoes and I have the Pro for time trials
acing\critical workouts.
Thanks, these comparisons are great!
Thanks for watching!
I got the Endorphin Speed recently and the best thing about it is it is so versatile. I run a lot in the Pegasus 36 and 37, but when I am sore after a Long run, as I was today, after running a sub-4 hour marathon in training yesterday, the Speed got me through a 12k recovery run, but then it was also my go to shoe for last Thursday's tempo run. I'm running a 6 hr virtual run in 3 weeks, the Speed will be my shoe for the first 50k, in a bid to take over an hour off my current pb, then I will switch to the Pegasus 37 for the last 1.5 hrs of easy running to finish. It's such an easy shoe to run in, whether it is a recovery day or a tempo run. It's actually hard not to want to run in it every day.
Is it bad to train in them every day?
Wow, just got back from Scheel's and tried these two shoes, had one of each on at the same time. Both amazing, light, comfortable, and bouncy. Already bought the Speed online but have to wait. Didn't have the Tempo in black or I would have walked out with it. I'll probably end up with both.
it's not a bad situation to have both of them
I love the VS videos keep it up great stuff
i've been enjoying doing them lately. i hope that they're helpful for people in making purchasing decisions, but i also just like the idea of the matchups. it's a bit of fun for shoe nerds
Don't forget about our canine friends waiting for you on that outdoor road
Michael - Why not trying good laces on the Tempo? It is not an expensive change and the results could make it an even better shoe. I am sure everyone would love to know the result of such experiment
I want the Speed so badly but I only have 50 miles in my Zoom Fly 3 and am broke college boi so I shall wait
I'm looking to get the Speeds also but I already have the Zoom Fly Fk, not sure if I need the new shoe if I want to race a half marathon
You only live once. Buy them.
@@lazyhusband This guy gets it
The outsole on my Rincon (current daily/"junk mileage" trainer) is seriously shredded at just 150ish miles...May give the Saucony a go. Seems like a really well-rounded shoe.
Yep Rincons have that major issue. It’s why I never got them even though they are a great running shoe!
@@prod1gy305 Yep. It's a shame, they're an excellent shoe. But the outsoles on mine are blown to pieces after just a few months. I supinate quite a bit which exacerbates the issue since so much wear gets concentrated on the outer portion of the midfoot and toe area.
The experience with rincons are like a bad marriage - honeymoon at first and later fizzles out ! 😀
I DO like the Endorphin Speed a lot! Is the Hyperion Tempo is like the New Balance Beacon v2 which I did not like??
Do u think i can run a marathon on both of these shoes ???? I been looking for a shoe with good enough of cushion but still stiff when i want to get up the speed.. bcoz all of my shoes were racing flats zero drops pretty much just like a second layer of the foots..
Absolutely Love my pair of Endorphin Pros. Do you think it's okay to use these 3x a week or should they be rotated with another shoe?
What trail are you running? I live in the western suburbs and it looks like a solid place to check out. Thank you for another great video. The Endorphin Speed has been on the radar and you are making it very hard to resist.
Just got my Speeds in. WOW! I'm gonna pass on the Tempo with having the Razor 3 already.
been waiting for this! did the hyperion midsole soften up overtime?
Does the outsole last long? None of the online reviews really mention durability, I would really like an update from you on the same. Love your videos, keep up the good work
I doubt you're still pondering this question 4 months later, but I've heard many people say this shoe can last 400-500+ miles without it going dead
In Thailand, only few stock when Saucony had start selling Speed, and it’s gone out of stock since then. :(
That’s a real shame
Hi Kofuzi, I'm a mild overpronator currently using the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 as my daily trainer and the Brooks Ravenna 11 as my faster pace shoe (both shoes seem to work fine). Would either of these shoes you reviewed in this video work for me as a faster pace/racing (marathon) shoe? Thanks!
thank you for the video, i totally agree with your review. I have both the shoes and yes, the endorphin speed feel a bit more bouncy. the only thing i can add is that the comparison is not really fair because of the price tag, the saucony are 180Euro, the brooks 120Euro, and i am not sure if you noticed also, the brooks feels a bit cheaper as construction and also the midsole. they are both great, but if i had to choose one, i would go for the saucony.
That's interesting pricing differences. In the U.S., one of them is $160 and the other is $150.
Interesting! In Australia the Brooks is $300 and I can't find the Speed, but the Endorphin Pro is only $320.
In Germany Hyperion Tempo is 150€ , Endorphin Speed is 180€
Tempo or speed 2 for 15 km race 3.30-4 pace?
Both of these r good for easy runs as well?
Can you help me with a quick decision? Im debating between The Endorphin speed and the Brooks Glycerin 18 as my next daily trainer. I generally run 30 miles a week at an easy 9:30ish pace. My wife has the Endorphin Speed and loves it but is it a worthwhile 'daily trainer'? Which shoe has more of a softer cushioned feeling? which is better for impact protection? I have tried both on at the store briefly and the uppers felt great on both so its more of a midsole question. Thanks!
Are these light shoes as durable like the brooks ghost or saucony ride? Can they hold up the same amount of mileage over time?
What one would be better for fast 5km on the roads
for that amount of money , you should expect the colour to remain on the midsole. it may only be cosmetic and doesn’t impede the functionality of the foam. But nevertheless, it will put you off visually selecting the shoe if it’s looks like it has a dermatology issue.
My suggestion, would be to buy the black/gold colour way
Generally, I love black shoes. But they made the black Endorphin Speed look very similar to the black Kinvara 9, which always had a bit of a 90s vision of the future kind of vibe to me.
Haha , there is an element of truth about the 90’s style reference,.
Awesome content as always. I really want both shoes. How do they compare to the Razor 3?
The tempo and razor 3 are very csumilar shoes. DNA flash is similar to hyperburst. But as good as hyperburst is, I prefer DNA flash.
Which is best shoes for running
Hi. I'm running the jack and Jill downhill marathon in September. It's the same as the tunnel marathon outside Seattle but organized by a different company. I already have the Carbon X and was thinking of using them for the race. Do you think the Speed will be a better shoe for that marathon?
I’d probably pick the Speed, but the Carbon X would be a very good choice for that race as well
Where are you running? Looks like a super nice trail. California?
I'm gonna get the Endorphin Speed very soon, but that chipping of the paint is really disappointing because at that $160 price point, that shouldn't be happening?!
Endorphin, pegasus turbo or the Brooks?
endorphin speed
How do these compare with the Reebok Run Fast 2.0?
How does the Razor 3 fit into these three shoes?
Kofuzi, would you say the Speed could be used as a daily trainer or does it feel exclusively like a Tempo/Threshold day?
peace
I really want the speed they sold out so fast in the UK i missed out
They are back in stock at www.startfitness.co.uk atm!
Very helpful. Loving the Hyperion Tempo, and think I’ll hold off on adding the Speed. Usually don’t love high stack, and not sure I would benefit from nylon plate.
It really doesn’t feel high, I really like the tempo but I think the Speed is way better.
@@Formerly-known-as-Steve believe me it's not.Hyperion Tempo is like another level..
thanks for this :) how did you keep these white shoes withe after runnin in ares like in you video?
🤷🏻♂️ I don’t do anything to them. Just run and let them air dry afterwards
Have you tried the Hyperion Tempo Elite? I wonder how they compare to each other?
I think you mean Hyperion Elite? He's said he's passing on it for 2 reasons: 1. Shoe reviewers hated it for its harshness and it's truly for the elite Des Lindens of the world and not normal folk. 2. Within a day or two of release, Brooks announced a complete revamp in a Hyperion Elite 2, coming out later this year
I'm going to go broke watching running shoes review channels.
it's a good time to be a runner
Unless you look but don’t touch
I'm 80kg for 189cm. It's ok for me?
You should compare Endorphin Speed vs. Pegasus Turbo 2
unfortunately, i haven't had a pair of turbo 2 for about a year
kofuzi Oh that’s surprising. I assumed that you kept shoes after reviewing them. Thanks anyway for the reply, love your reviews!
Where can I buy them ,speed exact the same colour for men, otherwise I see only for woman this color (((
Hey man great video, I got one like this on my channel, although yours is better keep up the work
You have a great channel man
thanks so much!
I love the endorphin speed
As good as many shoes are TECH/performance wise...they mess up some shoes using fruity colours. Colours you'd find on a 6 year olds snakers. Which makes finding the right shoees for the job hard for some adults wanting a pair of shoes that are up to the task but with a grown up look/colours.
Is the brooks midsole the same as hyperburst ? That's how it sounds . I'm loving the speed !
Not exactly hyper-bursts is carbon and nitrogen infused. Hyperion tempo is just nitrogen.
Hyperion tempo greatest shoes ever
People I am new to running and I want to buy shoes. BUT, I am totaly lost, there are so many shoes that I do not know what to buy. All I know is that I do not like too soft shoe. I like more Vivobarefoot for running than Ultraboost. :D I can not run long distances now and I do not care about price.
Hoka Rincon is a fantastic tempo day shoe for me and I have the Brooks Ghost 12 for my long runs although they are a bit heavy for my liking. Still super comfy
I’ve tried the Speeds (I’m a 5.20-5.30km runner) and springy heel which did feel a bit unstable compared to ultraboost. I didn’t feel any plate and that may be due to my speed/build/foot strike. I also have Hoka carbon x and I do feel faster in them and the rocker is more pronounced than on the Speeds. I have sold the Speeds and kept Carbon X’s!
Boa noite.!
Sou brasileiro, gostaria muito de entender os seus vídeos. Porém não tem a legenda em “Português” se tivesse essa opção, iria nos ajudar demais.

Favorite 2020 shoe over all?
So far, I think these two
please suggest metaracer or endorphin speed for me. Pace around (4:40/km)
Endorphin speed👍
everytime he says "before we start the video..." i ALWAYS double tap 2x and its skips right over what he says everytime
i very intentionally try to keep the disclosures at exactly ten seconds
@@kofuzilove that
What’s thoughts of endorphin speed vs Nike zoom fly 3?
on paper, they seem pretty similar. but i think the Speed is much more successful of a shoe than the zoom fly 3. the zf3 had a bit too much weight to it. it was still a very fun shoe to run in, but i don't like it as much as the Speed.
Isn't the Brooks a lot cheaper?
$10 bucks difference
if you get the dodgy horrific colour design, i found them for hald price, literally
