Men's | Brooks Hyperion Max 4
Most plated shoes ask you to choose between cushioning and speed. The Brooks Hyperion Max 4 was built around the idea that serious training shouldn't require that trade-off.
DNA GOLD and DNA FLASH v2 work together in a way that's genuinely uncommon at this price point — plush enough to absorb the cumulative impact of high mileage and responsive enough to hold your splits on a tempo run. A nylon SpeedVault plate adds the propulsive assist that makes faster efforts feel more controlled and sustainable, and the curved RapidRoll™ Rocker keeps your turnover quick and efficient even when your legs are asking for a rest day.
Details:
- Upper: A new triple jacquard warp knit upper is lighter and more breathable than its predecessor, with thoughtful attention to the high-irritation zones that reveal themselves during harder efforts. A gusseted tongue locks your midfoot down cleanly with lofted zones that add protective cushioning exactly where long runs and workouts tend to cause problems.
- Midsole: DNA GOLD foam provides a plush, impact-absorbing base while DNA FLASH v2 adds responsiveness and energy return — two foams doing two different jobs in one midsole stack that totals 45 mm. A nylon SpeedVault plate channels that energy forward with each toe-off for a propulsive, assisted ride that makes goal-pace efforts feel more achievable.
- Outsole: Strategically placed rubber delivers reliable traction and long-term durability for runners logging serious training volume on roads.
