Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 81.6 / 100 — « The Brooks Hyperion Max truly offers a well-cushioned running experience that's good for all four seasons. That said, we found the shoe's upper is on the snug side and is particularly optimized for neutral runners. If this fits your running profile, this agile shoe stands out as an excellent daily trainer that can also keep up with quicker tempos. »
