The Brooks Hyperion Max is a simple running shoe compared with most of its competition. It doesn’t have a plate, it uses only one type of foam in its midsole, and even its rocker geometry is subtle in comparison with others.
It is a strong option for those who prefer a firmer ride and a lightweight shoe, and who don’t like using plated shoes in training. However, it doesn’t make the grade in the best running shoes, and it’s too expensive, considering you can get outstanding shoes in the same category for much less.
