Critics' Consensus

“The Brooks Hyperion Max 4 offers exceptional cushioning and a dynamic, speed-focused geometry ideal for tempo workouts and progression runs, but its instability and weight limit its effectiveness as a pure racing shoe. While it performs well for long runs and faster efforts, runners must develop stabilizer muscles to handle its chaotic platform.”
