I see these are lighter than the 3s. In what other ways are they different?

Hi Amy. Key updates from the Hyperion Elite 3 to the 4 include an updated DNA Flash v2 foam that delivers nearly 10% more energy return and is lighter than the previous version, our new SpeedVault Race+ Plate made from additive molding from bio-based materials for near-zero waste, and an updated upper that locks down your foot for a secure feel while a streamlined design allows for distraction-free comfort and barely-there feel. The Hyperion Elite 4 continues to feature our RapidRoll Rocker — the curved sculpting of the midsole — which works with the carbon fiber plate to propel you forward.

Is this a good shoe for the full marathon? Heard some people say they wouldn’t go beyond a half marathon in it. Carbon plate doesn’t give enough return for the full.

Hi William. The Hyperion Elite 4 is great for a full marathon. It is designed as a race type shoe, so we wouldn't recommend training in them, other then 1 or 2 runs before your race.

When will this shoe be available?

Hi Kristyn! The Hyperion Elite 4 is expected to release in full in February 2024.
