The Brooks Hyperion Max 2 is a plastic-plated speed training shoe with a fast, firm and protective ride. It uses a thick stack of Brooks' race foam that activates with faster pace or more force—which makes it a great option for bigger runners. It's best used for long speed training workouts, fast everyday miles and long runs (for this who like a firm ride). It also has one of the best fitting uppers in the game and top-tier wet weather grip. If you're looking for a softer speed training shoe with a plate, check out the Asics Magic Speed 4.
