Brooks Hyperion
A triumphant debut for this speedster – and a worthy award winner. It was the lightest model on test and the RW lab noted that while the heel was very cushioned, there was nothing but flex and a very thin layer of midsole foam in the forefoot – a construction element that encouraged testers to get up on their toes and go for it. The fit is superb and the responsiveness is excellent; all in all, there was nothing to find fault with. Bottom line A thrillingly traditional, light and admirably fast performance shoe.
