I really enjoy running in these. I really don’t feel like it’s quite as speed driven as the Hyperion Max were. They have the perfect amount of firm cushion. You don’t feel like your tap dancing on the road, but it also isn’t squishy where there is extra effort needed when running. They are still pretty lightweight and comfortable. I ran 5 miles right out of the box. Although I can see people saying they needed a couple of break in days. The toebox is slightly smaller than the max, but loosened up by the third run. I am now alternating between these and the discontinued Hyperion max. Would like this one to not be discontinued. I will not choose a sneaker that is 8 ounces or heavier. Would be nice for Brooks to keep a variety of lighter shoes available for road running.

Run Small
Like the colors and I feel like they would be comfortable from a walk/run standpoint, but they ran small. All my other Brooks are a 9, but a 9 in these was snug. Especially in the toe box.

Light & Responsive
I have been running in the Launch 10 and before that the 9, so I was surprised that my shins were super sore after my first run in these. But after that, I haven't had any issues and feel like they are similar to the 9, other than I think the tongue seems more minimal and the bottoms were very sticky at first. Not sure if that was just my pair, but even running on asphalt I felt them sticking.

Not A Fan
Please bring back the old launch. The heel is awful on the new one. I work on my feet all day long and these hurt my knees/ back. Its really disappointing when your favorite brand changes . The old launch was perfect. I own every launch , but I can't wear these.
