As thick shoes with a carbon-fiber plate skirted a ban, Brooks is releasing the Hyperion Elite, a lightweight and fast shoe made for breaking finish line tape.
Because the focus for the Hyperion Elite is for it to be as light as possible, durability was not a concern. Brooks expects the shoe to last just 50 to 100 miles.Racing in the Hyperion Elite
I became addicted to the Vaporfly 4%’s propulsive bounce after they were handed to me for testing in fall 2018. But, because I love Brooks’s training shoes, I had to see if the Hyperion Elite would deliver the same speed. The best way to test out Brooks’s secret shoe: Wear it in the Philadelphia Marathon—I signed up just two weeks before race day.
Because I know you shouldn’t try anything new toeing the starting line, I gave the shoes a test run around my 6-mile office loop. Of the over 115 times I’ve run that loop testing shoes, my fastest split was when I tested the Hyperion Elite.fit and feel; instead of my foot feeling slightly compressed like it does in the Vaporfly , there’s that ample room I’m used to when I put on a Brooks shoe.
“It’s really freaking hard!” said runner-in-chief Jeff Dengate. “That foam is exceptionally lightweight but incredibly stiff. It’s definitely not like the cushy, bouncy ride you get from a Vaporfly 4%. I personally don’t think I could go a full marathon in them, as a 155-pound guy.” Dengate was a fan of the upper, however, stating the lightweight woven material felt “supremely soft” and secure.
The Elite doesn’t guarantee you’ll run 4 percent faster, like Nike’s trainers. However, its short history shows it has the chops to potentially step onto that podium in Atlanta. We’ll have to wait and see how Hyperion Elite-wearing Olympics hopefuls fare on February 29.Amanda is a test editor at Runner’s World and was a middle-of-the-pack Emerson College cross country runner; she’s run the Boston Marathon consecutively since 2013.
