Hyperion 2 Vs. Hyperion 3

Awful! The only thing the Hyperion 3 has in common with the Hyperion 2 is the name, "Hyperion." The Hyperion 2 was fast, light, I could be nimble and feel the road. At 7 ounces it was a good speed shoe and racing shoe. The 3 is a clunky, heavy, awkward, "marshmallow" shoe. I don't know what it would be good for. "Easy" running days? Too clunky for that. Lots of bulk and unwanted weight and material. My "2s" weigh 7.0 ounces. My "3s" weigh 8.9 ounces. Why would Brooks think that going from a 7.0 ounce shoe to an 8.9 ounce should would be appreciated and seen as desirable by a runner? When did clunky and awkward become desirable aspects of a running shoe? I didn't even bother to try these for a run--(the toe box is too narrow to think they would be comfortable enough to try them, anyway)--I simply sent them back and will look for something else. It's not a bad shoe--if you like it, wear it, but I'd like to see Brooks bring back the Hyperion 2. The Hyperion GTS was also a good shoe, no longer available. Arrgh!

New Convert To Brooks

This is my first pair of Brooks and I love them! I had worn Ascics only since I started running but recently had a poor experience with their warranty department. This ended up being the push I needed to try a different shoe and the Hyperion 3 has been better than I could have imagined. It has the midfoot and rear foot support I have been wanting and I never have issues with the shoestrings coming untied on my runs. Highly recommend! I average between 30-40 miles per week as a runner.

This is the most comfortable shoe with the softest ride I have worn. Great shoe but noticeably heavier than the Hyperion 2. I will still run in these but looking for something lighter.

Best Shoes Ever

These shoes are light but well cushioned. I feel like I can pick up the pace or cruise. These are well done, very breathable and probably the all time favorite shoe of mine. Wish they had more colors but they are a Novablast and evo sl equal. Little less stack but still enough to not feel the ground. Brooks nailed this. Don’t screw up the next version!

Great, But......

Fits great, feels great..... just wish the heel was a little stiffer, like the Glycerin. Then it would be perfect.
