BROOKS HYPERION TEMPO - The new Hyperion Tempo is a shoe designed for tempo runs, quicker paced runs, or even daily mileage for the fleet afoot. The upper is a perforated, slightly flexible mesh, that holds its shape for support, while flexing well with the foot. The midsole features a new compound in the Brooks lineup, DNA Flash, which is a supercritical foam. As we have seen before, this type of foam is light, durable and flexible - splitting the difference between firm and bouncy. The outersole is a thin layer which covers only the forefoot and heel, with varying heights of its tiny lugs keep the weight down while offering good traction. Overall the Hyperion Tempo delivers a high performance ride that is resilient, efficient, and protective.

Testers: "Lively, springy feel. Fits like a racer, but with a little plusher feel. I found the design and versatility impressive."
