THE RUNDOWN

Built as Brooks’ premier super trainer, the Hyperion Max 4 combines a dual-layer DNA GOLD and DNA FLASH v2 midsole, a SpeedVault nylon plate, and high-stack cushioning to deliver a highly efficient, protective, and race-inspired ride for long runs, marathon training, and uptempo workouts.


What's new?

The Hyperion Max 4 focuses on upper refinement rather than a full redesign. Brooks replaced the previous knit upper with a new triple jacquard mesh construction that improves lockdown, breathability, and overall fit customization. A redesigned padded tongue enhances comfort, while the fit feels more structured and stable through the midfoot. The midsole remains built around DNA GOLD PEBA foam layered over DNA FLASH v2 with a SpeedVault plate, preserving the shoe’s highly cushioned, uptempo-focused ride.

MAXIMUM CUSHION The level of foam padding in the midsole. More cushion = softer feel and better shock absorption. Less cushion = more ground feel and responsiveness.
NEUTRAL SUPPORT The amount of stability featured to correct pronation. Stability shoes help to correct overpronation. Neutral shoes are for normal gait patterns.

Fit & Feel
The Hyperion Max 4 fits true to size for many runners, though some reviewers note a slightly short and tapered fit that may encourage sizing up for wider feet. The updated triple jacquard mesh upper creates a more secure lockdown than the previous version while adding comfort and breathability for longer efforts.
Ride
Firm, efficient, and highly stable for a super trainer. The Hyperion Max 4 delivers a rolling rocker sensation with a strong toe-off that feels especially effective during marathon-paced efforts, long progression runs, and sustained uptempo training. Compared to many modern super trainers, the ride leans more controlled than soft or overly bouncy.
