FIRST RUN IMPRESSIONS: BROOKS HYPERION TEMPO

Come with me as I take the Brooks Hyperion Tempo out for a 10 miler! Believe it or not, this is my FIRST time in a Brooks shoe! Nothing against the brand, just never got into one of their shoes until the Hyperion line released and I was suddenly intrigued. I went with the Tempo, which is supposed to be a lightweight training/racing hybrid. I've been testing out a lot of shoes in this category lately, and had high hopes that the Tempo would be one of my favorites. However, after my first run, I would have to say I am not completely sold. It's a bit too firm for me, and I would reach for other shoes before this one. That being said, I'm excited to run more miles in it to see if my opinion changes!

Weight: 7.14oz (my women's size 10.5)
Heel-toe drop: 8mm
Upper: Stretch Woven Mesh
Midsole: DNA Flash
Outsole: Blown Rubber (I think)

I’m really liking the Hyperion Tempo. I like a responsive shoe and this one is super light on foot. I wondered how the outsole would do in rainy slick conditions and last week I tried it out in the rain and it was great with no slipping. This will be a great 5 and 10K shoe and possibly a half marathon shoe for me.

I really like the look of the shoe, and the firmness may be right up my alley. There are just so many options out there. Great video!!

You never fail to make me smile! 😊 Especially in days like these

[runknitkalie]

I’ve been enjoying these for fast days so much that I’m considering them for my next half marathon! I’m not a fan of firm shoes but I find these to have enough bounce/spring to be comfortable.

Emily, you need to do best/recommended shoes of mid year 2020 sometime in June.

Stumbled upon your channel and love it. Keep up the good work! Long Islanders unite!

👍👍 I find I've been replacing almost all of the laces shoes have come with lately as I like a wide flat lace that doesn't stretch. Good review as always

My feet loves Brooks. But have not tried this one. Their upper and fit is lovely.

After having viewed multiple of your "first run" video's I do have to say I'm impressed by the cleanliness of your stairs... and your kitchen. My "gotta run vs gotta clean" dilemma usually has a more chaotic outcome (visually).

Have a feeling you are going to enjoy the Glycerin a little more. Highly recommend trying Revel 3 or 4 when it drops later this year for lightweight daily in the Brooks line!

I always smile on Sunday mornings when I watch your new videos and you say 😊😃

[dnaromance]

Great video! Thanks for reviewing this before I buy one

[bcockton]

Looks like an interesting shoe. Just got the New Balance Tempo myself. First time running in a New Balance. We’ll see how it goes.

Just found your channel (from Kofuzi) Thanks for making all of this content. It’s so good!!! I make triathlon content and at the moment I think we have almost the exact same subscriber count. But I have a feeling your channel is about to explode. 😉 I love your genuine style on camera. Brooks tends to make some excellent shoes. Keep giving them a chance. Just maybe a different Brooks style. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Never been a big brooks fan (the green silence was FIRE though...). Awesome review as always!

[Penny_Royalty]

I love the hyperion… I have the same ones and they look so cool and flattering on the foot.. so lightweight, comfortable and great for warm weather. I don’t run long distance though …totally different shoe than my glycerin 19 or hoka’s.

[runhanrunnl]

Never had a Brooks? They are (most of the time) so damn comfortable!
Maybe you wanna try the new Levitate... I had the first version, and damn, what a great shoe!

[markfalkingham]

I ran in them when I first started running, stability and control models, now I couldn’t wear a brick like that if you paid me.

But this model looks like a really cool shoe, plus the outside material is similar to Skechers.

I look forward to your videos every week, keep up the awesome work

Good review. I have never owned Brooks either. Always seemed like they were a bulky looking design. With so many companies upping their shoe game recently Brooks needs to to get on board soon in my opinion.

[malomato]

How is the midsole in comparison in softness to the Pegasus 36 I’ve always ran in Pegasus but I’m thinking about trying out these
