Our Verdict
Brooks Hyperion 3
Brooks Hyperion Elite 5
The Brooks Hyperion 3 and the Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 are companion shoes within Brooks' roster, designed for different uses. The Hyperion 3 is a daily trainer, but with a lighter build and more aggressive geometry than the brand's other daily trainers. The Hyperion Elite 5 goes further still, dropping more weight and adding a carbon plate to the midsole. Runners who like the fit and feel of the Hyperion 3, but who want an edge on race day, will feel comfortable (and fast) lacing up the Hyperion Elite 5.
