What we don’t like concerning the Brooks Hyperion Elite LD
SAM: Sadly, the type of this shoe is what actually knocks it down a peg for me. Whereas the perform is nice, this shoe isn’t meant for the 800-3000m vary. The Brooks Hyperion Elite LD is supposed for use from 3000m to 10k, and that’s not one thing I may see myself utilizing this spike for. The present pinnacle of racing spikes, in my view, is the Nike Dragonfly.
Just like the Dragonfly sequence, the Brooks Hyperion Elite LD has a big stack of superform within the forefoot. Not like the Dragonfly, Brooks doesn’t match this forefoot stack with any substantial cushion within the heel of the shoe. Satirically sufficient, it appears to have even much less cushion within the heel than Brooks’s middle-distance spike. This lack of balanced cushioning results in an unbalanced and clunky feeling when operating longer distances. The construct of this spike is much like that of a center distance spike, see the Nike Air Zoom Victory line, as a result of the heavier forefoot matches with a quick, excessive cadence stride. Whenever you decelerate over longer races and your tempo is extra of a quick run as an alternative of a dash, I imagine that this spike loses some attraction.
