You could also consider Hyperion 2 for trainer and speed sessions, Hyperion 2 Max for long runs and maybe recovery runs and Hyperion Elite 4 (PB) for races as a valid rotation. Brooks seems to have a solid lineup to pick from.
I am using that lineup, but use the Hyperion 2 for easy/steady runs, Hyperion 2 Max for long and recovery, and I love the Hyperion Elite 4 for speed sessions. Really looking forward to the HE PB for my spring marathon. This lineup reminds me of the old pure connects that I ran my best marathon in.
I absolutely feel the zame way about Brooks. I am glad they finally catching up. I am not ready to buy again Brooks. Too many years went by...in order to get an upgrade.
Thanks so much for the review as always. How would you compare this to the Endorphin Pro 4? I'm just curious as I've found that shoe to be firm, flat, and less enjoyable in the mid/forefoot compared to the 3.
Not sure I agree with you on this being a heel strikers shoe. I tried the Hyperion max, Hyperion max 2, elite v3 and I landed right on the heel bevel which was really jarring as I was pitched backwards sometimes. If they smoothed out that heel bevel I’d be back in a flash
I am a new follower and I love your reviews, thank you for doing this! I was wondering if you have any input of the Puma voyage nitro 3 gtx or regular version for trail running? Thank you again!
With Houston being a Brooks sponsored race, it’d be cool if they had a few pairs of these floating around at the expo. But that’s probably wishful thinking.
I am still on the original Hyperion Tempo as I bought 7 pairs before Brooks "improved" it. Not that I don't trust Brooks even though they ruin or discontinue every originally good fast shoe they make. Usually by making it into a pillowy 10 pound mess.
Nice colorway for Boston maybe but I still can't see Brooks competing fully with the other top tier marathon race day shoes just yet. For $250, I can pay the same $$$ or add a few more $$$ and get a guaranteed winner. And, I'll say IF I was going to go for a Brooks, I'd just wait until the next shoe comes in 6 months. Brooks continues on the path of strange and confusing releases!!! LOL
Hm I still feel weird about it. I got the elite 4 eva for 160 bucks, cant complain about it for that price. But in the other hand if I would ve known that the peba versions comes that early I wouldnt have purchased the Eva version in the first place. So it gets a really bitter taste :/ The elite 4 eva feels indeed more like a speedy trainer
For a while, I was super annoyed about the release scheduling (and Brooks pretty much always botches the update schedule for this shoe). But then I realized that, with a February release date, it will have been about 12 months from release to release. But $160 for the Hyperion Elite 4 isn’t bad
another great vid Kofuzi. hope everyone has a great day, enjoy your run all!

My thoughts exactly…
I am a fan of Hyperion 2 for fast days and also dreadmills when necessary
I am using that lineup, but use the Hyperion 2 for easy/steady runs, Hyperion 2 Max for long and recovery, and I love the Hyperion Elite 4 for speed sessions. Really looking forward to the HE PB for my spring marathon. This lineup reminds me of the old pure connects that I ran my best marathon in.
HM2 Max is not for recovery, its made for speed runs, to me its also faster then the normal hyperion
Will definitely be picking this up for workouts.
Excited for hyperion elite 5! Let's go! 🔥
It looks very very good, if it runs nearly as good as it looks I'm sold.
Thank you Mike.
Brooks getting better!!
Brooks coming back 🙌🏼
Or for the first time 😂
I absolutely feel the zame way about Brooks. I am glad they finally catching up. I am not ready to buy again Brooks. Too many years went by...in order to get an upgrade.
so Brooks gonna release the Hyperion Elite 4 PB and Hyperion Elite 5 in the space of 6 months
Brooks has a long history of confusing/infuriating release schedules for the Hyperion Elite
The elite 5 is gonna cost $275 so at least the 4 PB is cheaper at $250
Wonderful review!!!!

I was wondering how this compares to the Puma equivalent. Seem similar at a glance.
Would love to know which shoe you find more stable....this one or the Adidas Adizero Pro 4??
No need for another carbon shoe atm, will maybe give version 5 of this shoe a go whenits released in the summer !
What don't y'all complain about.

Hi everyone. Brooks.....!!!! Run Happy!!!!. Like to Kofuzi. Have a great day.
2nd! Curious about the Elite 5.
I am still on the original Hyperion Tempo as I bought 7 pairs before Brooks "improved" it. Not that I don't trust Brooks even though they ruin or discontinue every originally good fast shoe they make. Usually by making it into a pillowy 10 pound mess.
I am on my third pair of the hyperion tempo, may need to try and stockpile a few more if i can find them, great shoe
Or Peanut Butter😎
I’m waiting for a Hyperion tempo to come out. The only brooks shoe you need.
You can try Hyperion 2 GTS / or non GTS. They are the successors.
@ I will look into that thank you.

It can stand for 3 things. PB stands for populist bet. 6th time's a charm?

Still wish you'd been given a HTM2. Have heard so many great things about that shoe and have been tempted.
I have a pair. I discussed it in this video.
If only they'd make a wide......
Seems like brooks is still sleeping in the super shoe category. Better shoe than last version, nothing compared to adidas Nike puma etc.
I hate Brooks, so meh? The Hyundai of sneakers. Nursing homes are full of Brooks ghost.
