Hyperion Max 4 Trainers

Great shoes with nice cushion. They take a little getting used to so I would recommend wearing them for short runs at first!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I believe this sneaker is a great lightweigth sneaker. Its very good, sadly I am returnign it because its too narrow for my feet. My feet sweeles and it starts squeezing my toes even if i lossen the laces. Over all its a great shoe, the onlt reason for the 4 satrs is because it is not wide enoght for my feet . i wear medium in all my shoes .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been an avid Brooks customer for many years...the new Hyperion Max 4 are my favorite so far. Nice cushion for long runs and great forward propulsion! Nice shoes! Happy Running 🏃🏼‍♀️

My first run in these were on the 4th of July...after a huge rain storm and Iowa heatwave. They ran hot and heavier than what I am used to. The 2nd time I ran in them, I was back in MA and in heat dome. Still heavy and less rocker motion/propelling than my Mach X2 Hoka's, that I loved:light, propulsive, and speed. Feel like these take time to build up speed and leave the heaviness behind. They are good in the heel, forcing me to stay out my heel strike, but the misstep is hard to find, and the front rock is dull to push off. No give or that sensation to want to keep moving, like the Hoka. The snugness around tongue is great. but again, it's heavier and hotter and narrower in the toe box. Has a stiff stability groove in back outer heel, that keeps forcing me inward. I am not into that feeling. I want to like this shoe and will keep giving it a change, still early? Run 6x in them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very stable good feeling overall but a bit hard for a, long run, cushioned shoe no room in toe box. wouldn't use it for more than 10k. i ran a 14k and lost my big toe nail on both feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They run larger than the previous versions. It is pretty annoying to me when the feel/sizing changes from previous versions. The laces also feel different and the tounge is easier to get bunched up and give pressure points on the top of the foot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I love the Hyperion Max 4! I fell in love with the Hyperion Max 3, so I was anxiously waiting for the 4 to drop and they do not disappoint. First, I love the color way and think that the pictures do not do it justice. They are so cool in person. Overall design-wise, I love the lace up on this shoe & the support compared to the 3. This shoe definitely feels more sturdy than the 3. I highly recommend this shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been team Hyperion for years now and the Max 4’s did not disappoint. A nice comfortable ride that kept my legs fresh. Feels a little bouncier than the 3’s which had been my favorite to date. These knock them down to second place. Perfect shoe for a long run or speed work.

Thank you so much for changing the tongue back, and the collar. I had to change shoes because the last model gave me blisters and rubbed my ankles raw. I preordered as soon as I saw you changed it back. They fit perfect and I am so happy🥰

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] oh my god. I should have gotten into Brooks sooner. Hoka and On Cloud advertise that they feel like walking on clouds. This one actually feels like walking on clouds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming back from ACL surgery changes how I evaluate every piece of gear. Mileage increases that felt routine before surgery now carry real stakes. The Hyperion Max 4 is genuinely light. Not light in the way every shoe claims to be, but light in a way you feel the second you put it on. On tempo runs the heel-to-toe transition is clean and doesn’t pull my attention, which is exactly what I want from my shoes. The energy return is consistent. The plate and rocker keep me moving forward without forcing a particular stride pattern. It works with me rather than dictating to me which has been ideal in my runs. For ACL recovery, the combination of cushioning and plate geometry noticeably reduces the load I feel at the knee during push-off. As my mileage climbed each week this shoe absorbed variability that a stiffer platform would have sent straight to a joint still rebuilding tolerance. The underfoot protection held up well into longer efforts without that compressed, dead feeling I typically get at the 40 minutes mark of my runs. For workouts, tempos, and a controlled mileage build, it earns its place in my rotation. For recovery running specifically, it’s been the right tool for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Hyperion Max 4 delivered an excellent combination of lightweight performance and dependable support throughout training and a half marathon. The shoe felt responsive during tempo runs and faster workouts, with strong energy return that made pace changes feel smooth and efficient. It was an excellent shoe for helping maintain speed while still providing enough stability and comfort for longer efforts. The heel-to-toe transition was exceptionally smooth, and the plate and rocker worked together to create noticeable forward momentum, especially at faster paces. Despite its lightweight feel, the shoe offered plenty of underfoot protection during long runs and race day, keeping my legs feeling fresh without sacrificing responsiveness. Overall, the Hyperion Max 4 balanced speed, cushioning, and efficiency exceptionally well, making it a versatile option for both hard training sessions and racing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the opportunity to test the Brooks Hyperion Max 4, and my first impressions were very positive. Right away, I noticed how fun and eye-catching the design is. The colors are vibrant, and the glittery foam detail on the heel adds a unique touch that I really enjoyed. From a performance standpoint, the shoe felt excellent during both a long run and sprint intervals. I immediately noticed a sense of propulsion when landing and pushing off, which helped make my stride feel more efficient. During faster efforts, I felt stable and confident, and the shoe seemed to encourage me to pick up the pace. The heel-to-toe transition was one of the standout features for me. It felt incredibly smooth and natural, allowing me to move through each stride effortlessly. This contributed to an overall ride that felt fluid and enjoyable throughout the run. This was my first experience running in a shoe with a plate/rocker design, so there was a brief adjustment period at the beginning of the run. However, once I settled into my stride, I really appreciated the forward momentum. The shoe felt supportive and helped guide me through each step without feeling overly aggressive. I was also impressed by the balance between the lightweight feel and the level of cushioning and protection underfoot. Even during a longer run and higher intensity efforts, the shoe remained comfortable. I did notice a slightly unusual sensation around the middle of one foot during part of the run, but it was not painful and disappeared afterward. Since this is my first time using this style of shoe, I suspect it may simply be part of the adjustment process. Overall, I found the Hyperion Max 4 to be a fun, energetic, and supportive shoe that performed well across different paces. The smooth transitions, noticeable propulsion, and comfortable ride made it an enjoyable experience, and I'm looking forward to putting more miles on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time owning a high performance running shoe and it did not disappoint. The Hyperion Max 4 allowed me to keep at a fast set pace without losing energy due to foot fatigue during my daily run. The design of the shoe rocks and propels you forward with each stride. I only run a couple miles daily but felt I could complete more while wearing these shoes as the design of the shoe helped make my runs feel effortless. I love the cushion and balance the base of the shoe provides. My feet felt secure but also lightweight like I was running on air. The color of the shoe is a beautiful yellow gold with silver sparkling trim. The only negative I would say is the shoe runs a bit on the smaller side and I would recommend to go up a half size!
