When I took up running as my hobby/past time around 4 years ago two of the first shoes I got was Brooks Ghost and Glycerin. They were excellent shoes and from someone who did not know about the brand at all at the time I was super impressed. Of course these days shoe technology and midsole foams have advanced but I still find the quality and durability of Brooks shoes excellent. I have the Tempos as well and recently got a Glycerin 20 and I find them solid shoes for their purpose. Nothing flash but do the job they are made for and have excellent durability. I'll definitely be trying the Hyperion Max if I can find it on sale here. The RRP is just a bit too expensive. Thanks for the review Edd.
New to your channel and I love it. I just bought a pair of these bad boys yesterday. I’m new to running and these springy forgiving beauties knocked a full minute and a half off my mile pace. I was running around 11:30-12 minute miles and wearing these I had a 10 minute mile pace. These things made me wanna run fast! They seemed to push me to go further and faster.
I agree. It's a very capable shoe. Just had it recently because it was on a discount (a bit cheaper than a regular priced Pegasus 40) in where I'm at. Ran a 10K fun run with two prior (tempo and long) sessions in it and pleased on how it all went. It's relatively less hyped (maybe due to its initial price) but a very good one that can handle many types of runs (I can run easy on this pair, no problem) and, yes, it is definitely a plateless racing option because of its weight and no-frills upper. I say a no-brainer if it's on a significant discount.
One of the high points for the original Hyperion Tempo was its outstanding flexibility. Coupled with the paradoxically soft yet resilient Flash DNA foam, I think it was a real winner. This shoe is on my list to try, for sure.
I'm a beginner in running and have been using Glycerin GTS 20 for quite a while and now I just ordered Hyperion Max! I can't wait to try it for speedwork since I find Glycerin a bit heavy for that purpose so I'm pretty excited! Plus, I scored it for only $100!! Thanks for a great review.
This is the only Brooks shoe I’ve loved besides the Tempos (I went through 2 pairs of those but I like this more) and going back to the “Pure” line before max stack height and max cushion became all the rage. The Pure Flow and Pure Cadence were great shoes for their time. Anyway, the build quality is excellent, the uppers are very comfortable for me (and TTS) and it’s an extremely versatile shoe. EDDBUD I knew you were going to like this shoe. I put more miles on my Hyp. Tempos than almost any other shoes I’ve had and never had a durability issue with either upper or midsoles/outsoles. Definitely starts out feeling firm but as they warm up they become very responsive and fun. People should try them on to ascertain whether the roll geometry works for their biomechanics.
I bought two pairs, one for speed workouts and 2nd as an actual race day shoe (upto Half Marathon). This shoe is a real slave driver as the faster you go the more it gives back! The DNA flash foam is more resilient than PEBA and doesn’t bottom out either.
I think the HypMax is the best shoe in the Hyperion lineup. The geometry is very conducive to sustainable turnover. And you’re right about it being better than the plated companion (HypElite 2/3). This shoe makes all other Hyperion line shoes a bit superfluous in my opinion.
Thank you for the review. Must agree that here in South Africa Brooks are also quite overlooked. Especially by the quicker folks. You see Ghosts and Glycerin but unfortunately nobody seems to buy their Hyperion line of shoes.
Nice looking shoe but the new ghost max has caught my attention so might wait to hear what you have to say about that one. I'd like to try Brooks shoes again.
Brooks returning to its roots with this one. Brooks gave me a limited sponsor thing 20+ years ago: shoes, singlets, t-shirts (run happy!) socks. One of their shoes did come apart in a race but was an isolated issue. The upper separated from the midsole in the toe box. May have to try these.
What I envision the MetaSpeed Edge+ to be without a plate. The DNA Flash is slightly less bouncy than the FF Turbo foam. A bit more firm. Overall, I like the Hyperion Max. I don’t like training with carbon plated shoes all the time. I only reserve them for races. This shoe is probably good up to the half marathon distance for a bit heavier runners. For lighter runners, I can definitely see someone going 42k in them.
…feels like I’m riding on Falkor “ Neverending Story” lol, when I’m running in the Hyperion Max!!!! Best shoes ever! Seriously, I love these shoes. I’ve been running for about 20 plus years.
Lots of snobbery around Brooks for some reason. I have a pair of these and they are great - no fit issues, firmer but responsive midsole, feels nice at a range of paces. Have taken mine up to a half marathon - not sure I’d want to go much further in them but great for anything up to that distance. Thanks for review Edd
Young Sir, as you know have had several bad injuries (Hamstring avulsion and knee), have found Hyperion GTS the dogs 🥜, as I suffer from high arches and supination issues, these shoes support both of my issues due to the amazing stability element. They are a joy to run in and not had this month fun running in a shoe for a long time (that includes Nike Invincible- too bouncy and unstable). I am not fast enough for the Hyperion Max, but imo if any of your peeps have high arches/supination issues then this is the shoe for you 👍
What until you try the GHOST MAX! Unbelievable! The Hyperion Max is hard to run slow in! I use it for tempo/threshold and even track sessions! You're right, the only negative aspect was the tongue slide. Great shoe! Love it! Even without a plate sure feels like it has one!
I have 114miles in mine , yes it might be a bit pricy for a non carbon ..etc , but its a great tempo trainer, durable midsole and while not my long run shoe of choice (puma forever run holds that posistion at present) I will take it out on my 15 mile runs when a large chunk need to be around race pace . Good shoe.. nearly took it for a 10 mile race on the weekend over a £230 super shoe , Thats how much I rate it .. actually reminds me of the old Sketchers hyper speed elite (think that was the silly name it had) but with a little more room in the toe box and foam underfoot.
Hi Ed , I think for the stack height of the Hyperion Max is more around 32 mm in the heel and 24 mm in the forefoot ! Still 8 mm drop ! Thanks for your video
Hi eddbud 👋, very interesting been looking for something new 🤔 that upper for a aussie summer sounds brilliant but the one I've seen is the new ghost max wow it looks good and it hasn't got the 12mm heel drop , so will be interesting to see which one's better 👍
For years, all I keep hearing from reviewers was that Brooks shoeswere boring, not very stylish and lacked innovation. That is why although reviews are an important starting point in one's decision whether to buy a shoe, I take the reviews with a grain of salt until I try the shoe myself. Contrary to popular opinion, I find the Brooks are innovative, attractive and far from boring. Take the Aurora bl. Although it came out 2 years ago the shoe is still one of my favorites even though they haven't been updated. I just bought two pairs for $75.00 each at Road Runner's here in the states. They ar an exceptional shoe. And I also have the Glycerin 19 GTS, another exceptional shoe that does a great job comfortably countering my over pronation without the pain Ive experience with other stability shoes. I also have the Hyperion Elite 2 which I used as a trainer. You don't need to race to train i with them. I am a 9 minute miler so I guess based on the reviews that I am too slow to benefit from these shoes. But that is a bunch of bull. They are very comfortable and I have a new PR for a 10km of 8:15 per mile. And if you want anymore proof that Brooks aren't innovative and are boring, just look at the number of people wearing Brooks out on the running routes and at you local Saturday 10ks. So thanks for not harping on the mass reviewers and giving us an honest review of their shoes. Keep it up. And thanks.
The Brooks Pure Flow was one of the most comfortable shoes. I really liked the rubber pods it had on the outsole. The Brooks T7 Racer was my go to shoe in anything 5k to the marathon. The Brooks Ghost and Launch mights as well be called the Brooks Bricks. What kind of markup do these shoes have? Every non-runner who walks into a running store walks out with the Ghost on their feet.
Hi Edd, is there a video for measuring feet? You reference true to size, is that based on actual measurements of the shoe or feel based on your "calibrated" feet? Great if a future video explains sizing and fit as it appears running shoes are not standard.
I picked up a pair in size 13 at a 50% discount but sadly I felt they were unbearably narrow. Didn't even run in them for an easier return. Now that you've tried the Ghost Max how would you say the Hyperion Max compares in width?
yes the BROOKS PURE line was interesting as they were using new style foams plus near zerodrop and higher cadence forcing geometry, it was like a inbetween nike-free and NewBalance Minimus, but alas the high stack craze killed the like 5-6years ago, which is fine as topo/altra have you covered
Hyperion 1's are awesome speed shoes. But more foam is not always better. Think the Reebok Floatride Energy 4's were much better than the thicker 5's. Hope the Maxs are even more awesome 👍
the slo-mo looks like it isn't very compressive aka cushioned aka protective. On par for Brooks. The lack of a stiffening plate probably saves it; it seems that companies are catching on that trainers don't need to be as stiff as a board, and are actually preferred to flex a bit for comfort.
@@EDDBUDI heel strike on my outer heel and burn through the outer there very quickly but then it settles down. I think these bevels might be made for me. 160 miles on Puma Velocity Nitro 2 and outer is just about worn threw at the heel corners.
Edd, I’m a similar light build to you, size 11 feet, lanky runner, bit of a pronator and heel striker, trying to run a fast 5K. Don’t like the plates and super shoes. Would you pick the new Hyperion or the Hyperion Max? Did you get to try to e Hyperion GTS? Thanks!
Nice to see a positive review for Brooks. I’ve been using these since January for marathon training as a companion for the Adios Pro 3 I wore in the race. I was very close to using the Max in the marathon but bottled it! But I did use them for a 10 mile race out the box. On my second pair now well over 300 miles from the first pair
Can I ask what you think the most cushioned Brooks shoe is for someone who wears orthotics and walks daily on concrete? I have Glycerin 20s but I was wondering if you had any other recommendations for Brooks shoes that might suit my needs? Thanks
@EDDBUD since it's more firm, I'd probably just have to stick with the glycerins then because my orthotics are those custom ones that are really firm so I'd need a softer shoe
I have Caldera 6, my only Brooks, works really well for me on trails. Which makes me interested in this one since it’s kinda the road equivalent of the Caldera, with that max stack foam setup and no plate. Anyone has both?
I felt like this shoe always tried to turn me into a heel striker, as soon as i didn't pay attention. And for anything longer than 15k they turned into bricks for me. But the fit and the roll is absolutley amazing
It's probably a very subjective thing. Maybe because I kept comparing it to hyperion tempo all the time..I prefer the 'flat' base of the tempo honestly
Brooks shoe lineup has been rather “ boring “ . It the past their shoe was quite popular among runners in my community . Hopefully they produce more exciting & convincing shoes to runner .
anyone else find it a bit too long? it has too much space in front but i'm worried about going half size down because the top of my feet is very sensitive to pressure and get numb easily
@@EDDBUD so many better options out there, I think we all have brands that through experience or maybe stubbornness we won’t touch, I have many and brooks are at the top of that list 🤷🏻♂️
@@richshelley2922I would say you’re missing something then, unless this type midsole is too firm for you. If you must have squishy foam, then it’s indeed not for you but it’s a versatile winner for many people who otherwise have not been excited by Brooks. I really loved the Tempo as a more traditional shoe in the midst of my rotation and this one is even better.
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 yep I like a decent bouncy stack, not sure how they can get away calling this thing “max” when it’s only got 31 in the forefoot, and that 31 is as dead and lifeless as all brooks foams. Time moves on brooks don’t luckily for them so many people come into running not having a clue what to get and must end up with brooks shoes, so kudos to their promotional dept
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 just seen the retail is £160 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂u can pick up a prime x, a adizero pro 3, a metaspeed all for cheaper than that atm all of them can do tempo runs as well as being race options, I have just picked up the mizuno wave rebellion pro for £180 absolute beast of a shoe, best shoe since the alphafly 1 these are real running shoes!!

The Hyperion max is a more tempo and pace orientated shoe. It might work with the other insole. But it’s on the firm side. Depends on your preference.
@EDDBUD since it's more firm, I'd probably just have to stick with the glycerins then because my orthotics are those custom ones that are really firm so I'd need a softer shoe

I have Caldera 6, my only Brooks, works really well for me on trails. Which makes me interested in this one since it’s kinda the road equivalent of the Caldera, with that max stack foam setup and no plate. Anyone has both?
Possibly it’s similar. I like this foam. Not too squashy and it’s stable.
How is it in terms of mid foot and forefoot width ?
Not the widest in fairness. But it’s more a tempo type shoe and there are narrower out there
Toebox same as Hyperion Tempo?
Very similar
I picked up a pair for 50% off , 80$ usd
I felt like this shoe always tried to turn me into a heel striker, as soon as i didn't pay attention. And for anything longer than 15k they turned into bricks for me. But the fit and the roll is absolutley amazing
Surprised by that. I felt the opposite
Me too; if anything they roll me toward the forefoot.
It's probably a very subjective thing. Maybe because I kept comparing it to hyperion tempo all the time..I prefer the 'flat' base of the tempo honestly
There are people saying about every shoe it seems.
What is your favorite running shoe box? I like brooks

Nah true to size is fine
Not much life in the legs today. I must of mixed up my multi-vitamin with some sleeping pills. 😴🏃♂

@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 yep I like a decent bouncy stack, not sure how they can get away calling this thing “max” when it’s only got 31 in the forefoot, and that 31 is as dead and lifeless as all brooks foams. Time moves on brooks don’t luckily for them so many people come into running not having a clue what to get and must end up with brooks shoes, so kudos to their promotional dept
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 just seen the retail is £160 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂u can pick up a prime x, a adizero pro 3, a metaspeed all for cheaper than that atm all of them can do tempo runs as well as being race options, I have just picked up the mizuno wave rebellion pro for £180 absolute beast of a shoe, best shoe since the alphafly 1 these are real running shoes!!
