Are these good for racing?

Hi Cora, the Hyperion Max 2 is great for runners looking to train consistently — or to race — in a shoe that has more protective cushioning, with a responsive pop for running at top speeds. Depending on your cushion and experience preferences at different mileage, these can be a great option for you overall. We also offer the Hyperion Elite 5 if you are looking for a race day specific style.

How does Hyperion compare to Glycerin?

Overall, these two styles have features to support running in different ways depending on your goals and preferences. The Hyperion Max 2 is great for runners looking to train consistently — or to race — in a shoe that has more protective cushioning, with a responsive pop for running at top speeds. The Glycerin 22 is for runners looking for a soft cushioning to provide ultimate ease and comfort in every step. A high stack of new nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned provides plush landings and energizing toe-offs. The new DNA Tuned, the next generation of nitrogen-infused foam, is created with dual-size cell technology. Larger cells in the heel provide plush landings, while smaller cells in the forefoot invite responsive toe-offs.

Why don’t they come in a wide size?

Thanks for asking! The Hyperion Max 2 is designed for lightweight speed and efficiency, and with this update, we focused on dialing in the core experience in the medium width first. We know fit is everything, and feedback like yours helps guide future decisions. We’ll definitely share your interest in a wider option with our product team!
