Brooks Hyperion Max 2 vs adidas Adizero Boston 13

The Brooks Hyperion Max 2 and adidas Adizero Boston 13 are both plated super trainers with the ability to handle faster efforts, but they achieve it in different ways. The Hyperion Max 2 absorbs more energy with each foot strike, delivering a softer and more forgiving ride that's ideal for runners who want a shoe that can eat up long miles without feeling harsh. It also has a nylon plate, while the adidas features full-length ENERGYRODS that are stiffer. The Boston 13 is also lighter and has a more energetic midsole, making it the more efficient and lively option for runners looking to rip apart those uptempo workouts.
