Customer Reviews
Exactly What I Was Looking ForI ran in Ghosts for years. They were stable and cushioned, but they weren't very fast. When I discovered the Hyperion line, I was sold! They had the familiar feel I was used to, but were much lighter and still cushioned. I would highly recommend Hyperion 2s to anyone looking to run distance, but also improve their speed.

Best running shoe of my life.I was at a loss when another company updated my previous running shoe to something I could not run in. I called RW and got help finding this shoe. Perfect. Plenty of cushion, flexibility, and propulsion. My runs have suddenly become easy. Where have you been all my life? I have a neutral gait and big toe arthritis in both feet. These shoes are perfect.

Brooks hyperion 2Honestly I absolutely love this shoe. They are so responsive and give back so much energy in your feet. I used these shoes during a 10k workout and they definitely helped me push through the workout. They are bouncy soft cushioned and are snuggled like a sock. I recommend giving these shoes a try yall won't regret it

Hopped on this train too lateGoing to be sad to see this model go. Ran in the ghosts for years, then switched to Hoka for a few years. Coming back to this for some faster runs made a world of difference. Bought a second pair while I still could, and now wishing I had stocked up several before they move on to the next thing!

Good all around shoeAs a high school track runner, these work as a great trainer. I can use them on easy runs and for faster stuff too, and they’ve felt good on the feet.

Hyperion 2I have had a hard time finding a great track/interval shoe for my wide foot with a higher drop. The Hyperion 2 has good room in the toe box and midfoot, it’s quick, light and snappy. Everything you need out of a fast shoe. The upper is amazing, the laces are great, love the Achilles flare. I’ll be sure to pick up more pairs before they ruin it with the version 3.

Give it a tryI find most brooks too wide and roomy but this is a narrower fit, But pleasantly surprised. Not overly cushioned but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

LOVE these shoes!Great "Kick" forward from the inner heel, extremely lightweight and responsive.
Love these shoes for faster efforts on the road and on the track. About to buy my 3rd pair!

Brooks hit the mark with this shoeThese shoes are excellent from the first run. They do run a little big so I sized down a half size

Great shoeSuper light and snappy for those fast workouts along with great cushioning.

New favorite shoeI love Brooks but the ghost and glycerin feel a bit too heavy and clunky for me nowadays, so I decided to try the Hyperions. These shoes are so responsive, lightweight, and cushioned all in one. They have been great for easy runs and uptempo workouts and I look forward to them being my new all around trainer.

Fast flats, far from super shoesIn the age of carbon plate super shoes designed for the longer distances (especially the marathon), these shoes harken back to the extremely light and less bouncy racing flats from circa 2010. Brooks made excellent flats like the T6 and T7 Racer back then, and while this is aesthetically similar, it doesn't feel as quick or comfy as those did. I think I'm used to flats nowadays "making" me run faster rather than "allowing" me to run faster, and these shoes are definitely the latter. They will certainly do the job as mile-to-10k race flats, but they weren't particularly inspiring for me.

Perfection for the long run(45+ years actively running. 5’6”/128lbs., midfoot striker. Running retail back in the 80s.)
Honestly, for me, this model is perfect, and it starts w/ the last. Over the last year alone, I’ve tried all the current favorite, acclaimed performance trainers. But this Hyperion 2 is perfect - in fact, the most perfect fitting and performing trainer I’ve ever used - and I have 45+ yrs of wearing and selling. This Brooks last was made for my slightly wide, semi-high volume foot. The midsole is not sloppy, not overly soft, and far exceeds the longevity of others I’ve tried. The slightly asymmetrical eyelets, the knobby laces, the durable outsole (use on light trails), all make for a no-brainer for me. I mean, I even put this above my previous all-time favorite the OG Gel-lye (similar colors, actually!)

Just rightThese are my favorite shoes for track workouts. They're light, responsive, fitted to my feet, and somehow feel both supportive and barely there.

Great shoe not true to sizeThis is a great shoe, and not a bad price for what you get. My only gripe is the fit, my feet seem between sizes, size 11 feels massive and 10.5 is a bit tight on my right foot with the laces laying such that I have to be careful how I tight I get it so I don't lose circulation. Kinda surprised people are saying this shoe is true to size considering I rarely run into this with other major brands. But I will admit that I've had similar issues with Brooks shoes in the past. This one seems to be worth keeping though.

FAST!!!So impressed with the Brooks Hyperion 2. Extremely lightweight. Racing flat weight with incredible cushioning. Great fitting, comfortable upper. Nice looking and plenty durable too. A great combination for an amazing lightweight trainer. Brooks is on fire!

ComfyLoving them so far. Light weight and fast. Hard to find these features with an 8mm heel toe drop.

Hyp2I owned numerous pairs of the original Hyperion, using them for training and racing, and considered them fast and light. Being 0.2 oz lighter, this new version promised to be even better. The shoes fit my feet just as well as the old versions, so that was good. During my first few runs in the new version, the Hyperion 2's felt little mushy, but I quickly adapted to that and was soon training as fast (maybe faster) than in the old Hyperions. Then the next race came-- a sprint triathlon. My competition and I came out of T2 (bike-to-run transition) at the same time, and the guy sprinted way out in front of me. But the new Hyperions brought me back and I passed him within another half mile, cruised to a victory by over 2 minutes, even winning my age group. I owe it to the Hyperion 2's.

GREAT SHOE!I am a high school senior. I have ran competitively for 9 years. I have zero arches, yet this incredibly lightweight, flexible shoe manages not to hurt my feet. I use them for distance-daily trainers on fast days, and short races (5K). I would say of all the XC shoes I have ordered from Running Warehouse, these are my favorite. It is a go to shoe for several of my teammates as well ...when we do not or cannot wear spikes. 10 outta 10 recommen!

Great ShoeNice light trainer. Love that it just gets the job done, nothing to fancy and that's what I like about it.

Simple, fast, and funI was a big fan of the original Hyperion Tempo when I first got into running. I went through two pairs of that shoe, but I skipped the refresh (now just the Hyperion) because, at least on paper, this shoe seemed to be succumbing to the maximalist trend most manufacturers are taking their shoes. But that really hasn't been the case.
Yes, the Hyperion 2 is bit a taller than the original. But it's still a light, responsive shoe that's just a whole lot of fun to run in. The upper and fit are fantastic, and much higher quality than many other performance shoes which cost more. The Hyperion is really a standout in the Brooks lineup.

Only issue has been fixedWhen I initially got the first Hyperion, I wanted to enjoy it but felt the foam lacked the softness and response of other lightweight super foams. I also felt the shoe very stiff. With this newest update, Brooks added the “super foam” I was looking forward to while also maintaining a level of support/security without being overtly stiff. Upper is soft and comfortable. I have really no issues with this shoe. Great job Brooks!

Responsive and lightJust the perfect shoe, with only 7oz in my size 10.5. It feels so light and yet has more than enough foam which is a great combination of softness and responsiveness.
My first time enjoying any shoe other than Nike. Great work by brooks.

Brooks Hyperion 2Much softer than the Hyperion 1 but still very responsive. I've been wearing them for 3 weeks anf find them very comfortable and needed to break-in. After a 10 miler, my legs were not as tired or sore as with the previous iteration.

Excellent editionMuch better than the first iteration!

Brooks Hyperion 2I was a huge fan of the Hyperion Tempo when they came out, and owned two pairs. These are a great evolution and a perfect non-plated daily trainer option.

Hyperion 270yo, Male, mostly walking with periods of 8 min tempo due to cardiac issues. History of over 50 years of running and racing. Loved the original Hyperion Tempo for tempo workouts and even some 5K racing. The V2 is NOT the same animal. It is far more plush without much of the ground feel of the the original V1. That being said, the V2 is wonderfully plush without being a max shoe. The foam is snappy and the shoe has great toe off. It is a great shoe with an actual score for me of about 4.5. It is typical modern running shoe with great fit as well for me (full D width) with a great toe box space. Would still love to see someone make a tempo shoe with a bit less stack and better road feel. Highly recommended for all types of training.
PS Also a great walking shoe.

Not the same HyperionI have been running in both the Hyperion 1 and Hyperion max 1. This is a different shoe from both of those and in a good way. It has a much softer feel even though I only weigh 130. You can definitely still run fast in them. It also has a slightly wider forefoot and is just a smidge longer. I have also been a fan of the hoka Mach 5 when I wanted a softer ride but the Hyperion 2 gives me that plus a more accommodating fit. This is my new favorite everyday shoe. I doubt you’ll be disappointed

Definitely a Morphed HyperionDef not the Hyperion or Hyperion Tempo. Totally revamped w/ a 28/36 stack (according to Brooks at TRE), airy mesh and way softer midsole. I had 3 pair of the former models, and these are certainly a different animal. Great fit, decent width and volume for my slightly wide foot. The higher stack is immediately noticeable, but in a good way - not clunky. To anybody heavier than my 128 lbs., I’m sure the shoe will feel even softer - which is actually not my preference. Gotta love the 7 oz weight in a size 9 (yes, I did a weigh- in). To me, I’ve had the Rise, Mach 6, cyclone 2, altra flow on my feet the past year, and again, for my biomechanics this Hyperion is a no- brainer.
