Runner’s World Review
Replacing the T7 Racer, the Hyperion is a racing flat for most of us. The thin midsole is made up of a foam and gel blend that Brooks says will deliver consistent cushioning the length of the shoe and improve durability (thin EVA compresses quickly and loses its cushioning power). Testers liked the smooth woven upper—a material like you’d find in the tags inside your clothing.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
