Brooks Men's Hyperion Max 2 Running Shoes

My favorite every day trainer I've ever had. Perfect mix of comfort and speed. This is the second pair I've bought. May have to buy another for the future when I wear this pair out. Will be sad to see them go.

I am really enjoying the Max 2s. This is my first pair. I usually wear Adrenaline GTS, but these may be my new go-to. They are lightweight and supportive. I've been able to use them for both slow and fast, short and long runs.

After about a month of casual wear to "break in" the shoes, I did my first organized 10k in these and absolutely loved the run. I'd give detailed feedback but I honestly didn't even notice the shoes. But that's how I think shoes should be and would definitely buy them again!

My running journey started March of 2024. 2 years before this mt doctor suggested I take my heart fort a brisk walk. The first year it was once a week and the second year twice a week. The third year they suggested 3 times a week and that’s when I felt that I might be able to run. The 1st 2 weeks weren’t pretty as I’d run 100’ and walk a 100’ feet for 2 miles. Then I bought a pair of the Ghost 16’s and never looked back. I prefer to run at the colder temperatures between 20F and -5F. Any of the shoes in the Brooks lineup will be a great shoe. Just ask a lot of questions to make sure you get the ones that are comfortable for you. Someday hopefully I’ll be able to get a pair of the Elite 4 shoes and take them out for a run. Pun intended. The Hyperion Max 2 are amazing shoes. I usually run in either Hyperions {1st generation and 2nd ) or Adrenaline GTS 24, 2 pair ) for recovery runs. I have an arsenal of Brooks shoes, 12 pairs to be exact. I enjoy everything about the Brooks shoes and won’t run in any other shoes.

Absolutely love these shoes. Just did a significant portion of my marathon training and actual race in these and had a fantastic experience. They felt fast, while avoiding significant forefoot pain that I have dealt with in the past. Historically I was not a fan of high stack, or excess foam, however these shoes have changed my mind.

I was eying these shoes for a good while before buying them. I've heard nothing but great things about them. Also, the colorway is BEAUTIFUL. After what feels like forever, I finally bit the bullet and made the purchase. Wasn't the best time to, but I did. And today I decided to test them out. I normally wear a size 8, but with running shoes, I know now to always order half a size up. I ordered these shoes in a size 8.5. When I put them on, and took a few steps in them, I knew I was going to like them. I was super excited to test them out today. Ran 4 miles and they felt great!! If anything changes, I will update my review. But I think I'm going to love these shoes.

Best road running shoe ever! My first time wearing the shoe I PR’d in the 10k and I had no hot spots or discomfort. This shoe is perfect! It is lightweight, while it provides an excellent heel lock. It has a smooth transition from heel strike to toe off. Great comfort with a springy heel off! Nice work Brooks!

I bought these to race a 10k, and they killed it today in my time trial. They are my first “plated” racers, so it was a new feel for me, but as someone who has owned many pairs of Brooks, it was also very familiar. They are comfortable and lightweight, with a surprising amount of support for a non “support” shoe (I normally buy GTS). They have a softer sole than I’m used to, but they are very springy and fast, especially at paces of 7:30/mile or faster. Highly recommend!
