Brooks Hyperion Max 4 Running Shoe Review

The Brooks Hyperion Max 4 is a plated super trainer with a massive amount of cushioning and a speed-focused geometry that makes it feel fun during faster efforts. The maximalist cushioning does a truly superb job of absorbing impact, but this isn't a comfort cruiser, as the relatively steep rocker wants to quickly push you forward onto your toes. For that reason, it's best suited to tempo workouts or long progression runs, although the very dynamic platform will test your stability over prolonged efforts. For runners who want a fun, fast shoe that makes no compromises on cushioning, the Brooks Hyperion Max 4 is an exciting, if sometimes chaotic option.
