Brooks Hyperion Max 4 Women's White/Blue/Nightlife

Brooks Hyperion Max 4The Hyperion Max 4 is Brooks' maximal plated super trainer, built for runners who want the propulsion of a plated shoe with enough stack underfoot to soak up long miles. A dual-density midsole pairs a top layer of DNA Gold (a PEBA-based foam) over a base of DNA Flash v2 supercritical EVA, with a full-length nylon Speed Vault plate sandwiched between for a firm, rolling transition.This fourth generation gains extra forefoot foam and drops to a 6mm heel-to-toe offset (down from 8mm in the previous version), for a smoother, more rocker-driven ride off the toe. A triple jacquard mesh upper with a gusseted tongue and padded heel collar keeps the fit locked down, while a medial midfoot cutout adds a touch of guided stability without turning this into a stability shoe — it's still built neutral.Ideal for runners chasing a maximal, propulsive daily-to-uptempo trainer that can also go the distance on long runs.Why You Will Love It Dual-density DNA Gold / DNA Flash v2 midsole pairs a bouncier PEBA top layer with a durable supercritical EVA base. Full-length nylon Speed Vault plate adds a firm, propulsive rolling transition. 45mm max-stack cushioning with a 6mm drop for a smooth, rocker-assisted ride. Triple jacquard mesh upper with a gusseted tongue for a secure, breathable fit. Medial midfoot cutout adds guided stability while keeping the shoe neutral.

The plate keeps things feeling propulsive even when the legs are getting heavy in the last few kilometres, and the White/Blue/Nightlife colourway is honestly the best-looking pair we've had come through the store.
