I used to think I was envious of Kofuzi’s runs through downtown Chicago, but watching his runs through boring old Iowa makes me realize I admire his video skills, not where he’s running.
This is a shoe that makes me happy just looking at it. First, that blue midsole is one of the most stunning colors I’ve ever seen in a midsole, and unlike the Saucony lineup (at least the Endorphins) it’s not painted on. Secondly, I love the combination of the snug midfoot + great heel hold with the generous toe box. I have 60 mi on mine with little to no sign of wear on my outsoles either. I have a love-hate relationship with the laces. For me they’re rather easy to cinch down in the midfoot and if anything, when my feet swell a bit while running they actually end up on the tighter side, because the barbed-like edges don’t allow the laces to budge. But they are way too long. Interestingly the HE2 laces are just the right length for me. I wish Brooks (and all other brands) would include a 2nd set of laces of different length, like the Saucony Ride 13 is doing. But I always say that laces shouldn’t be a deal breaker since they’re cheap and easy to replace.
Mike has joked that it’s so delicious a color it looks edible--like part of a fancy wedding cake or something. I agree. The color makes me happy every time I look at it, and unlike the Saucony lineup, it’s not painted on so won’t flake off if scratched.
Am not at all an athlete, just a casual jogger but these shoes are just so amazing. Have never ever felt about a shoe that makes you want to run the moment you wear them and these are just that. Am now also interested and waiting for Skechers GoRun Razor 3+ release which I heard is similar to Hyperion Tempo. Great channel and review there.
Good to hear your findings after 100 miles. Agree that laces need an upgrade. Really enjoying mine so far across a nice range of paces especially for the interval work. 💪🏾
I really support your opinion. O bought those shoes based in your opinion in April, and indeed my pacing improve meaningfully. The shoes are very comfortable. I had a Nike Winflo6 and the difference is astonishing
I just bought it, and did half marathon. I got to say that it might not be a versatile pair of shoes. But definitely faster at lower pace. Did a couple of 15 minutes tempo runs. You can tell they are light shoes. Breathable, and fast.
Loving the Hyperion Tempo. Running a 5k in them this Sunday, for their first test in race conditions. And they do look delicious! Only complaint is they don't come in wide sizes, but that hasn't been too much of an issue so far. Thanks for the review!
@@thisguy2973 Went back to check my results and notes on this. Ran my best (at the time) 5k and a week later my still best ever 10k. Felt good in this shoe, no problems. Still wear these for almost all my track workouts. Great shoe for me.
Love the video, love the shoe. Definitely made for speed. A great racing option for those that don’t want to fork out the big bucks for a carbon plated shoe. Great video, Mike! 👍
In your comparison with the Endo Speeds, you said you preferred them more. Would love to see a 100 Mile review of those as well! Are they giving you knee issues?
Love these shoes. 480 miles on them, so just picked up a second pair. But you’re right that the laces are garbage. Tough to get good lockdown, and often knots up when I untie them. Also, not great on wet terrain. Other than that, favorite shoes since the original Brooks Pure Cadence.
Love this shoe. I have about 160 miles on mine and have been using them as my dt’s. I have found it to be the perfect training companion to the Adizero Pro (NOT the ultra rare one!). The Pro feels like a plated version of the Hyperion to me. Most overlooked racer/fast day shoe of 2020 IMO. Great review, K, as always.
The Brooks Hyperion Tempo is my shoe of the year - I've been enjoying all those tempo runs and track sessions a lot more. Now that winter has arrived, everybody please just keep in mind that the outsole gets damaged easily by grit on sidewalks, I had to pull some tiny stones out after a run and noticed some holes in the outsole. Keep them for the warmer months...
I had the Beacon 1 and I presently have had the Hyperion Tempos for several months. Based on the Beacon I had, it depends on your preferred kind of cushion. The Beacon was much softer foam. I personally prefer the responsive, firmer midsole of the Tempos, but for slow, easy days that might not be the best use of them. Yesterday I did a track workout that included a slow warmup and slow cool down with a challenging speed workout of about 30 min of intervals and fartleks and my legs feel great today. Martha
I have 303k's (188miles) on mine so far and I feel like I can easily get another 300k's out of them, and I probably will try to. I love the midsole, the lightness of the shoe, outsole is nice and grippy and I really love the snug fitting upper. Probably my favourite shoe in terms of fit and comfort apart from the Endorphin Speed of which I've done 318k's in. The laces threw me at first but I haven't had any lockdown issues...just takes an extra few seconds to get the lacing right. So no real complaints from me with this shoe. Only minor issue for me personally is it seems the blue coloured midsole has faded over time. It's more of a light blue now. Maybe I'm imagining it :(
Nice review Kofuzi! Brooks like ASICS seem to love putting lots of material up top but the quality is there. I love the colourways of this shoe, and as usual your running environments are awesome, good soundtrack too👍🏾. P.S went on Janji .. Tempted but it's expensive if you include shipping too..😖
Starting with the Rincon 2, I am slowly moving away from Nike running shoes after watching your reviews. Guess the Brooks Hyperion Tempo will at some point replace my Turbo 2 and Zoomfly FK, that is, if I can find a way to buy it in China.
The contrast between Nike running shoes and running shoes designed and built by running companies has never been more drastic. Save for the “elite” Nike runners (Alphafly next, Vaporfly next), their entire lineup is really disappointing. The Peg 37, i would argue, is actually a DISCOURAGING shoe to run in. Which is sad, because I would assume that a lot of folks who are new to running would choose it based on marketing, brand familiarity, availability, and pricing. I feel like it’s insulting that Nike would even use react foam in their shoes when they have Zoom x in the arsenal. If they really “cared” about the running experience, they would use Zoom in all of its runners. Its not as though they would go broke if they did. I started running in the Adios 3 and that shoe really made me fall in love with putting miles in. The Hyperion gives me that same vibe and feel. K’s description of the shoe overall is spot on with my impressions. Its like the Brooks that was made for people that want the Brooks brand runner focused engineering but aren’t quite ready for the “Dad” running shoe that they are kinda known for. I’m thinking of buying another pair just to have! If your looking for a trimmed down alternative to the Peg Turbo 2, i would recommend the Adizero Pro (NOT the one that’s impossible to get). I think it’s the most underrated, often overlooked plated shoe that’s out. Its like somebody took a turbo and trimmed the fat off of it. Great shoe.
@@ericsinger6690 thx for sharing! I wouldn’t say Nike running shoes are terrible per se, I still love my Turbo 2 and Peg 35 after all. It’s just that there so many excellent brands out there, why restrict oneself to just one brand? The Rincon 2 has really opened my eyes to the more traditional running brands. Also own a pair of Adios 3 and absolutely love it as well. There could be a chance that I can locate a pair of Adizero Adios Pro in China. We shall see. As for Nike using React vs ZoomX, I think it just boils down to costs and affordability. Plus React last way longer than Zoom X
I love these shoes. I'm definitely faster in the Endorphin Speed, but these aren't bad and durability is amazing. I actually love the stretchy laces, I feel they help get me a great lock down, but I think that's just me and the weirdness of my foot.
At what point can a slower runner benefit from some of these shoes that come alive at faster paces? I hear over and over again that certain shoes preform and feel better after a certain pace is reached. Is a slower runner looking to run faster in high performance shoes wasting month if he or she cannot run fast enough to get the intended use out of the shoes?
Maybe you’ve figured this out since you posted! I wonder about that too. Was all set on Mach 4 but my comfortable pace is only around a 9min mile currently. Bought some Clifton 7 on clearance and now I’m thinking I can’t run fast enough for those to feel slow. Also tried on a pair of Tempos and wonder if I might prefer them over Mach 4 once I “need” them. Different feel going for same results, seemed like. Haha I’ll figure it out!
@@michaellopour7409 It's been a while since you sent this but it's not that it only works at a certain pace but it works much better at whatever your fast pace might be and worse at whatever your slow pace might be. Don't be afraid to treat yourself to some nice shoes.
i run so good in this shoes. and 20 km on street and forest.... i need 2 hours for half marathon with this shoes and take it for winter and summer, because it`s the best shoe ever. and in run, i see how many i run in this moment, 8 km or more.... and this is so, because i have knee problems. but science this shoes and bandage with polster for knee and gurt under patella its better would, and than last, i cant run... and i make a tense gerät in bedroom before i sleep, and next day no pain more and i run 10 km.... ;-) without problems. the mix make it. i make run`s and muscel power workouts for 3 time weeks i m in sport home and outside. and rest day i make meditation, stretching, or relaxing and read a book, or look movie now i look for new brooks. but i buy only hyperion tempo and nike flex experience for summer and normal walkings.
Thx Mike for another great review. I'm also considering the Rebel v3 for fast turnover hill repeats, fast 400s, fast 800s, etc. If you were the king of the forest which would you go with? I'm retiring my Hoka Tracer 2. Thx
After having these for 2 weeks I feel like the 150$ price tag is just unjustified. After a 6 mile run in the rain, the cushioning never felt the same for some reason. I bought a pair of Adidas Solars 5 days ago for 40$(discounted) and am much happier with them overall(midsole, upper, fit). I feel like they should be priced around 100-110$, definitely not 150.
@@iosifkovalenko8364 Hate the tongue and the loop at the top of the tongue or whatever its called. Rubs against me when I use low rise socks. Hard and uncomfortable. Overall the shoe's too firm and cheap feeling.
Thank you for the great video as always. Would love to get a comparison to a Skechers Hyperburst shoe since it also has the nitrogen infused midsole....would the GOrun Razor+ be the comparable shoe?
@@GodBlade132 I would say they carried me well up to the 30km mark before starting to lose their bounce. And because they’re the lightest shoes I’ve ever worn (previous shoes were Arahi and Kayano), I felt I could go faster and longer before the fatigue set in at around 33km.
Hi Justin. I might grab the Razor+ next week. My Size 9 fit on my Hyperion Tempo is perfect at True to Size. Should I also go TTS on the Razor+? I'm a bit worried seeing Mike's review of his Razor 3 that its a little loose. What do you think?
How wide and round is the toe box? how does it compare to the New Balance Beacon v3 which has a fairly open toebox. I had the chance to try the beacon on the other day but no the hyperion tempo.
Excellent content as always. I know you also ran in the Razor 3 and liked the shoe as well. How does the Razor 3 compare to the Hyperion Tempo? Both shoes have mid soles that were made with a similar process.
@@eulogyforadream I can tell you by my experience. I have around 100miles in both and the razor is a lot softer, sometimes is a little too mushy. For faster workouts and racing I prefer the hyperion tempo. But as a daily trainer the razor is very good, I also used it for racing and track workout but the tempo is faster for me. I hope it helps!
Thoughts on the cushioning? Do your legs feel beat up in these guys after longer runs? I'm a heavier set runner, so I typically lean more towards the max cushion end of the spectrum Slash, I haven't watched a video from you in a while, so I might've missed an update, but hope that knee injury is recovering well! Stay safe out there bro
Yes. That's the first thing you do the moment you receive this pair, replace the laces. I used the higher quality New Balance laces and they are perfect!
Late to the party, I just retired a pair of shoes and replaced them with the Hyperion tempo looking forward to taking them out. What’s the name of the intro song? 🔥
im looking for a lightweight/quiet running shoes that I can use on the treadmill to not annoy neighbours but also comfortable to run for an hour every other day.. what would you recommend for this? ideally the best affordable option .. i dont mind buying a new one every year
I think these would be great for the treadmill as far as noise though, I don't really think the shoes matter. I think it will be the sound of the treadmill motor and the way your foot hits the treadmill that will far outweigh the input from one shoe versus another
@@kofuzi Thank you. I gave away my zf3 because I didn't think that I, as a beginner runner, am making full use of the plate. I got Hyperion tempo and I thought I made a wrong decision. Thank you! So love your videos by the way, you made me want to start running.
Similar. They both use a gas infusion as part of the EVA extrusion, which gives DNA Flash and Hyperburst their similarity to each other and distinctiveness from other EVA foams. But they use different gases, which results in different characteristics. I’ve run in the razor 3. It’s a good shoe. It’s better at easy pace. But I prefer the Tempo at faster speed
@@kofuzi Will definitely check out the Brooks Tempo then only reason I brought it up because I remember you doing a comparison or mentioned the Razor 3 when you first ran in the Brooks. Thanks!👍
I haven’t put in the miles to prove it one way or the other, but my hypothesis would be that the DNA Flash would last longer. It seems like the nitrogen infused or nitrogen/CO2 infused foams last a very long time.
Hey KOfuzi! L0ve the video. I have a question that I can't seem to find a solid answer to. I am a speed walker right now working towards running mixing in variations into my routine. Should I go for a running shoe or a walking shoe or is there really not a big difference?? I am a neutral runner who doesn't pronate much at all and I like a 4/4.5 out of 5 cushion in midsole. What would you suggest brother?
You sound similar to me. Should try Adidas Ultraboost, Saucony Kinvara or NB Beacon V3. All works well on me. I train with weighted vest doing slow jogs and fast walks. These shoes work great for walking or running. Don't think running or walking shoes make a difference. As long as the shoe is comfortable and you dont feel hurt or pain after your training.
@@isaacmendez3902 thanx man. I use pegasus 35 turbos now but they ripped on the back midsole which is a common spot for that extended foam part. I like the cushioned feel on them so I want something similar. One thing I'd want is higher ankle coverage for a more secure feel bc my turbos sit lower. Appreciate your feedback
@@mattyboy947 No problem! I loaned my friend's Pegasus 37 and those were great as well! Its more for my speed runs! But yes those ain't great for daily trainers in my opinion. I have to admit they don't seem to last. But great for speed! My only Nike was a Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit. Not bad shoe too! Similar to the pegasus. Adidas UB is an all rounder trainer, snug fit, nice comfort and great Continental sole for almost all condition runs. Got an UB19 for about S50 USD. Great buy, stock clearance from a supplier, making way for the more expensive UB20's flooding the market.
@@kofuzi I think I’m going to buy the Reebok Grow today because of your recent review. I’ve been vegan for over 6 years and am always looking for ways to improve. These shoes are just perfect for me in that way, and your and others’ comments on them leave me just about no choice haha.

I love the color of the outsole. Something different from the usual white.

Agreed. Trail shoes get the best color designs particularly on the outsole. Hope this is a new trend for a long time.
Sounds racist bro..

Thanks so much!
I hear the siren's song of the Hyperion Tempo. Alas, I must wait for your comforting embrace. (AKA Wife: no more shoes in 2020).

@@genysmenrunner1677 Your right he did. I'm wondering if his opinion changed after 100 miles.
@@eulogyforadream I can tell you by my experience. I have around 100miles in both and the razor is a lot softer, sometimes is a little too mushy. For faster workouts and racing I prefer the hyperion tempo. But as a daily trainer the razor is very good, I also used it for racing and track workout but the tempo is faster for me. I hope it helps!
@@eulogyforadream maybe the new razor elite would be ideal giving a little more support on the forefoot
Question, I'm planning on getting the endorphin speed or this which one in your opinion is better.
I think there could be some situations where the answer may change, but speaking in generalities, the Speed is better
Thoughts on the cushioning? Do your legs feel beat up in these guys after longer runs? I'm a heavier set runner, so I typically lean more towards the max cushion end of the spectrum
Slash, I haven't watched a video from you in a while, so I might've missed an update, but hope that knee injury is recovering well! Stay safe out there bro
When you say fast or slow pace/ what is in ur opinion the fast or slow pace
would you suggest purchasing different laces for this shoe?
Yes. That's the first thing you do the moment you receive this pair, replace the laces. I used the higher quality New Balance laces and they are perfect!
boys it's here
Late to the party, I just retired a pair of shoes and replaced them with the Hyperion tempo looking forward to taking them out.
What’s the name of the intro song? 🔥
Is it acceptable to buy shoelaces separately or it will change integrity of running in these shoes?
That road you we're running on looks like Nebraska or Iowa, especially because of the truck driving by
Will these make a good rotation with New Balance supercomp trainer?
im looking for a lightweight/quiet running shoes that I can use on the treadmill to not annoy neighbours but also comfortable to run for an hour every other day.. what would you recommend for this? ideally the best affordable option .. i dont mind buying a new one every year
I think these would be great for the treadmill
as far as noise though, I don't really think the shoes matter. I think it will be the sound of the treadmill motor and the way your foot hits the treadmill that will far outweigh the input from one shoe versus another
@@kofuzi thanks!
Would love to buy a pair but they seem to be out of stock in pretty much all of Central Europe. 😑
How many miles do you think you can get from this? I pound my shoes a little too hard so I always destroy them faster than they should be lol
Would be super cool if you would do a non-elite 5 panel 😉
Hi. Would you say that this shoe is a better overall shoe than Zoom Fly 3? Thank you.
yes. in comparison to the zf3, what it lacks in a plate, it makes up for in the midsole and in overall weight
@@kofuzi Thank you. I gave away my zf3 because I didn't think that I, as a beginner runner, am making full use of the plate. I got Hyperion tempo and I thought I made a wrong decision. Thank you! So love your videos by the way, you made me want to start running.
omg love the music !can u add the name of the song! thank u
Any plan on reviewing Adios Pro?
Isnt the Sketchers razor 3 or the updated version razor + a similar run/feel or even better than the brooks?
Similar. They both use a gas infusion as part of the EVA extrusion, which gives DNA Flash and Hyperburst their similarity to each other and distinctiveness from other EVA foams. But they use different gases, which results in different characteristics.
I’ve run in the razor 3. It’s a good shoe. It’s better at easy pace. But I prefer the Tempo at faster speed
@@kofuzi Will definitely check out the Brooks Tempo then only reason I brought it up because I remember you doing a comparison or mentioned the Razor 3 when you first ran in the Brooks. Thanks!👍
This or Adizero Pro (not the adios pro)? Same price after discount here.
I'll check out the trail version..thnx
Between lightstrike and dna flash, which one holds longer?
I haven’t put in the miles to prove it one way or the other, but my hypothesis would be that the DNA Flash would last longer. It seems like the nitrogen infused or nitrogen/CO2 infused foams last a very long time.
What kind socks do you use?
Not a runner but my job requires extremely fast walking for 8-10 hours a day on streets.
What is Uber Eats delivery?
I’ll take Side Hustles for $400.
@@kofuzi no. I do delivery for Amazon.
Hey KOfuzi! L0ve the video. I have a question that I can't seem to find a solid answer to. I am a speed walker right now working towards running mixing in variations into my routine. Should I go for a running shoe or a walking shoe or is there really not a big difference?? I am a neutral runner who doesn't pronate much at all and I like a 4/4.5 out of 5 cushion in midsole. What would you suggest brother?
You sound similar to me. Should try Adidas Ultraboost, Saucony Kinvara or NB Beacon V3. All works well on me. I train with weighted vest doing slow jogs and fast walks. These shoes work great for walking or running. Don't think running or walking shoes make a difference. As long as the shoe is comfortable and you dont feel hurt or pain after your training.
@@isaacmendez3902 thanx man. I use pegasus 35 turbos now but they ripped on the back midsole which is a common spot for that extended foam part. I like the cushioned feel on them so I want something similar. One thing I'd want is higher ankle coverage for a more secure feel bc my turbos sit lower. Appreciate your feedback
@@mattyboy947 No problem! I loaned my friend's Pegasus 37 and those were great as well! Its more for my speed runs! But yes those ain't great for daily trainers in my opinion. I have to admit they don't seem to last. But great for speed! My only Nike was a Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit. Not bad shoe too! Similar to the pegasus. Adidas UB is an all rounder trainer, snug fit, nice comfort and great Continental sole for almost all condition runs. Got an UB19 for about S50 USD. Great buy, stock clearance from a supplier, making way for the more expensive UB20's flooding the market.
Why not just change the laces out? I did it , much better!
How are they with flat feet?
I’ve only 70 miles in mine and I do like them...maybe I own too many shoes... Nah not possible ... (I didn’t buy NB RC elite this morning - whoops)
My language is weak bro
Do u recommend it for a semi marathon
yes
Can I run with these on my recovery/easy long runs? thanks.
Not my first choice
@@kofuzi Haha that's what I expected people would say. Thaanks
How long will the COVID mustache last?
600-700 miles 😂
Is this true to size?
Yes they are.👍
@@mercurytoad thank you!
Would you like to see a nylon plate in this shoe?
Nope
Just 400 miles of wear in them. How effete ! they would last me less than 4 months....
Looks like Hyperburst.
The music was killing me
Good, isn’t it?
Notification squad
Yo!
@@kofuzi I think I’m going to buy the Reebok Grow today because of your recent review. I’ve been vegan for over 6 years and am always looking for ways to improve. These shoes are just perfect for me in that way, and your and others’ comments on them leave me just about no choice haha.
Entendi porra nenhum, mas tá valendo rsrsrsrs
2nd!!!
Yo!
I love the color of the outsole. Something different from the usual white.
