Brooks developed a coveted mid-distance super spike with the Hyperion Elite MD. This racing shoe embodies the toughness of all middle-distance runners and helps you get the most out of every race. Developed in partnership with pro athletes, the Brooks Hyperion Elite MD has all the features you need to pull away from competition before the finish line. The midsole cushioning keeps the shoe comfortable and light, while the carbon plate helps transfer your energy into top speeds on the track. On the outsole, the spikes keep you on your toes to support mid-race surges and that final kick necessary to beat your competition. The toe box is slightly wider to not cramp your toes, but the upper keeps everything secure as you run. Details Upper: The deconstructed upper is very porous, offering a highly breathable and lightweight fit with the security to keep you locked in for the entirety of your race. Victory tape badging highlights the Brooks logo, and a roomy toe box enhances comfort. Midsole: The full-length carbon fiber composite SpeedVault Race Plate enhances the midsole by propelling you forward like a catapult. For the goldilocks of cushioning, the DNA Flash v2 foam has a barely-there feel while providing the ideal support for middle-distance races. This foam in this spike is top loaded so that more of it will activate when pushing off your toes. Outsole: The forefoot spike plate features six detachable spikes for reliable traction that delivers grip and powerful toe-offs when you need it most during your race.
