Brooks Hyperion Elite Initial Run Impressions, Details, and Comparisons

I take the Hyperion Elite, Brooks' top new carbon plated road racer ($250 releasing 2/27/20) for a first spin along the cold New Hampshire coast and share my impressions as well as comparisons to Vaporfly Next%, Skechers Speed Elite, and upcoming Hyperion Tempo from Brooks. Elite weighs approximately 6.8 oz /193 g (verified with my sample) in a US9

I tested these out last night running parking garages for about 5 miles. They felt light, responsive and nicely cushioned. I got a nice return. Price point is high no doubt. I'm using these for an upcoming marathon so I don't plan to run in them again until then. I have been training in Brooks Ghost 12s which are heavier, very supportive but not fast.

Desi generally trains in the Glycerin, but was really instrumental in the development of this shoe as well as the Tempo

Great review - thanx! I just entered it on the shortlist for Berlin 2020

Looks like just the ticket for me, race wise. I hope they do a more training oriented variant similair to the Zoom fly 3.

I went for the Skechers speed elite instead of these. Also waiting for saucony pro, the new balance racer also looks a better buy than this. Brooks coming in last place atm.

Sorry for OOT, can you trying the Reebok Forever Floatride Energy V2, please? Jamie claimed this shoes is the best $100 running shoe.

$250 for a shoe that lasts 50 to 100 miles?!
😂 these guys better lay off the crack pipe

[gosekinz]

its how much?! late stage meta-rocker .. hmm at 8mm its a solid pass from me .. but thanks for the review! 👍

The tongue looks a bit too long, Sam? Coming too high on to your lower shin. Did you feel it?

[monition]

I'd probably get this if it actually lasted longer, especially for $250

Fellas over there at Believe in the Run think this shoe is nothing but firm. Not much good to say about it

[JesseStanley]

I thought this had release date of 06-01

[mcmpointo]

sketchers gonna dwarf these in sales just cause of the price point

Blandest Knockoff 😪
The only thing that isn't lesser in this shoe seems to be the price.
