The HYP is Real!!! Brooks HYPERION MAX 2

a CONNOSHOER by RDQLUS joint; In my review of the Metaspeed Sky Paris, I noticed some things I didn’t like so much and what I wished they felt more like. Also, mine were pre-owned and that seller perhaps lied about the usage? Oh, here are all those things I wanted fixed; a fresh pair of Metaspeed Edge! @RDQLUS

A CONNOSHOER by RDQLUS joint; This is an interesting one for me because…how fair is it to judge a shoe that was pre-owned? I got my pair of Metaspeed Sky Paris for a decent price due to having supposedly only 8 miles on them. B it they were obviously a little wrecked.

Next up in the “Garden of Comfort” is the FFS SEED_ONE “Daisy.” This was a new move for the brand that is already breaking the mold. This shoe wasn’t revealed until the presale was over.

This is a concept typically reserved for the once in a blue moon special edition, but this is their standard operating m...

any update on this shoe?? did you end you liking it for everyday use? thanks
This was an awesome review! Awesome personality!
The Hyperion 2 is the successor to the Hyperion Max only 5-10% softer and snappier. You’re right, the Hyperion Max 2 is the successor to the Hyperion Elite 2 only beefed up for daily training. I’m glad they put a nylon plate not a carbon plate. It would have been too stiff but will compete with the Hyperion Elite 4. Right now I am torn between the Hyperion 2 and Hyperion Max 2. I’m looking for a long run shoe. I want a shoe with no plate whatsoever. I think I will go with the Hyperion 2 GTS.
@@Ben-yw8be great assessment. The nylon plate is so good, offering the right amount of stiffness and response without the long-term harshness of carbon fiber. the new Hyperion 2 looks like a good upgrade to the non-Elite and non-Max line.
Damn 150 wow I'm still using v1 Good review bro
Yes! That’s exactly what I thought! Haha. I couldn’t get off that plane fast enough 🏃🏾♂️💨 Thank you for checking out the review and commenting.
This was a really fun review to do because it’s more my natural personality and still hit all the pertinent points. Thanks for coming through!
Just bought them and really like them. Did Intervals right after buying them and they felt amazing. Was kinda hard even finding a pair though, since they seem to have been discontinued.
Just jogged 5 miles in them. I'm a slow, heavy runner, and I enjoyed it. Brooks have always given me hell (shin splints, knee pain, foot pain) but Ghost Max and Hyperion Max 2 have been great!
Thanks for sharing! Good stuff!
Great review! Just snagged a pair of transport xs now
Nice! What color?
@@RDQLUS the new dark green ones! super cool color palate
I'm planning to buy Li Ning Shadow 2 Essential. I'm 9.5US in adidas. Will 9.5 US li ning fit? or I need to go for 10 US. My front part of the feet is a bit wide.
In the Shadow Essential that I have my true size fit me. They are a narrow brand across the board, so just know that.
How would you compare to the boston 12?
@@karls8989 The Boston 12 is one of my favorites right now, and this tops it. The feel is similar; it has great impact protection but feels readily available when you want to pick up the pace. It seems similar but more robust than the Boston.
Sweet. Same love my boston 12’s so this has me hyped
The Hyperion Max 2 is more responsive while the Boston 12 is softer. The Hyperion Max 2 is a faster shoe and much closer to the Nike Zoom Fly 5 than to the Boston 12.
Man this Brooks shoe is no joke. I LOVE these things! Haven’t been a Brooks fan in the past but I am now. Also this isn’t a PEBAX foam, it’s a supercritical TPEE and EVA blend (nitrogen infused, very similar to PUMA’s nitrofoam). Plate is PEBAX tho. Good vid!
@@MedicineRunner thanks for the correction. It was a slip of the tongue, and I realized it as soon as I said “nitrogen infused” 🤦🏾♂️ haha. I knew better because Puma and Brooks have two of my favorite midsole toolings in recent years. Yeah this shoe is a monster! I’ve had it on nonstop for the last few days. The versatility is off the charts and I very much prefer this foam over the squish of pebax foams. Thanks for the comment and view!
@@RDQLUS all good man! And yep! I agree, it’s very versatile. Just finished an 11 miler progressive and got up to threshold at the end and it was smooth as hell. PEBA foams are great when they are tuned right but seems some of the brands miss the mark on that.
@@MedicineRunner nice! Agreed; I’m a Masters sprinter/jumper, so I’m uptempo, plyos, hills, stairs… all of which I’ve put this shoe through the past few days. Ate it up without missing a step. PEBA feels great in some uses, but it’s often too mushy for me. I had a problem like that back in the ASICS Gel days… impact attenuation is only part of the equation, I need to get a good portion of that energy back. TPU (Boost) was a great shift 10 years ago, and TPE & supercritical TPE are amazing for me now.
@@RDQLUSah I see! Mannn don’t even get me started on these mushy foams everybody raves about 😂, I’m 180 lbs pretty lean and you appear pretty built yourself so us heavier guys definitely seem to get along with the firmer stuff. I still love boost, it’s just so heavy. Definitely opened the door to great midsole technology advancements tho.
@@MedicineRunner you called it; I’m 6’ 3.5” / 200lbs. I destroy mushy foams. Dense with great rebound is heaven because we can compress the denser foams.
Getting mine next week, replacing my old saucony speed 3’s . Looking forward to it . 👍
Huge speed 3 fan here. I honestly prefer the Hyperion max 2 😮 they are seriously so fun to run in. Just remember they have a TPEE foam component so give them like 10-15 miles to break in just a tad.
@@MedicineRunner will do mate, 👍
@@MedicineRunner yes, I can feel midsole breaking in in real time and it’s so good!
Enjoyed your approach to the review, and I hope your channel continues to grow. Now for the shoe, this could be my first Brooks. I am very impressed with the overall look and quality.
@@mrgroundhog9790 Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that, and taking the time to drop a comment. As for the shoe, it’s impressive. Come back and let me know what you think.
Thank you for your really honest review…not a $300 shoe…
Thank you for dropping a comment. Nope… not even close to $300, but not a bad shoe. Brands need to get the ego in check, because this could have moved well.
Always nice to see a reviewer come back to address how they felt about a previous product in relation to new information! Good luck with the trials!
Thank you very much! I’m going to try to do that more because reviews are often skewed toward the initial feel. I might call it something like a “Circle Back” review to update the info.
Great review bro! First video I’ve seen of yours and just wanted to say your passion for sneakers comes through and the video was a joy to watch and really helpful
I appreciate that! Thank you! I hope to keep the quality high and keep bringing people to the channel. Thanks again!
Okay, so it starts off that way? That’s a big minus. Thank for the input 🙌🏾
I tried the Sky+ at my local store who has them on sale for $100 right now. Same thing with an upper. The shoes were brand new but the mesh on top would not lay flat. Its like window screen that does not move or stretch. I didn't buy them. Looking down, all I saw was waves of extra netting on top. Visually it bothered me too much.
The blackout colourway looks better imo.
There’s a blackout Transport X?! Nice!!!!
Ooooh weeee! That’s damn near formal dress looking! Love it!
@RDQLUS I wonder..how they perform in warm weather?
@@pelemasa2516 hot fire! ☄️ 😂 I’ve had even partially black shoes generate horrible heat in summer sun.
So basically ,you wouldn't recommend it for summer time. More like spring, autumn.
Is there any follow up about how the synthetic leather holds? 🙏
It’s quality. They’re quite thick cuts of material so they are sturdy… more like tanks lol 😂
@RDQLUS Haha, that's great to hear, I had some doubts buying vegan pairs but will try them out. You cleared the doubts for me. Appreciate your feedback and video review brother 🙏
:) those are looks like a first aid pack. I'm looking softer sole and comfortable shoe which one you prefer to me? KD900 or KD900x -anything else-. Generally I'm running approx. 15 km. per session.
😆 they do look like that haha. For looks I prefer the 900x, but the 900 is far more comfortable. Exact same upper fit. I want to try the new 900x v2, which seems to have far better cushioning than v1. What’s you foot type (narrow, flat, high arch, etc) and needs for your 15k sessions (energy return, efficiency, roll, etc)?
@@RDQLUS I think my foot type is flat. (by the way I'm already use kiprun ks500.2 What do you think those shoes?) Yes I want prefer much energy return and low rolling resistance shoes.
They are HELLA comfy. I got a question: can you wash them in a washing machine?
Very interesting question! I would say not to because of the integrity of the plates and foam; because the plates are exposed, water would be able to get between the foam pieces. That’s just my guess because I’ve had mine on in the rain and they squeaked a good deal until they dried. That material should be pretty easily washed with a good brush kit and a damp towel, then stuffed with a dry towel to soak the excess moisture. Hope that helps, and thanks for commenting!
Probably the best review I've seen of a shoe in a while, thank you man
I appreciate you 🙏🏾
Do you recover fast from this shoe like the vaporflys?
I think so. In my opinion, it’s so efficient that you don’t get beat up as much to begin with.
Hi did the ultrabooat light break in to be more comfortable? To me the older 22 felt way more softer.
They seem to have started very stiff and broke in just a bit. But they are far stiffer than previous models.
Heel to toe drop is 6mm according to Onemix website.
Thank you for that 🙏🏾 I got most information on them from their aggressive instagram and Amazon marketing. Really didn’t know much about their website
that thin outsole worries me about the durability. I work 12 hr shifts and love my clifton 8s
Thanks for the review! I have the V1 and I'm loving it. I also got it on sale $125. Will probably pick a V2 when its on sale and my V1 is done. Athough V2 has a bit more foam, its a bit heavier than V1. I'm using the V1 as my 10K race day plated shoe.
Great review man! I have always used the Adios Pros for my racing but will have to see about these! Recently got hired by UA, and cannot wait to test these out and compare!
Adios Pro is so good, but these took me out of those for a couple of weeks. I was shocked I didn’t want to take them off. Haha. Thanks and good luck with your new gig!
Adistar cs is a must in everyones shoe rotation , hope they slim it down but not the toe box
Brah, compering it to HOKA is a good thing cause if u get what you get in hoka for less price thats a win, thumbs up for that, like your videos keep it up
🙏🏾 appreciate you!
Love the vibes here! Here's a fun backstory: I HATED wasps too... but I read that they represent all kinds of cool things like evolution, springtime, diligence, and teamwork, etc. Since I was scared of them as a kid, I thought it would be a perfect mark for the brand. Its like the Batman's bat symbol where bruce wayne was afraid of bats, but then harnessed that power to create his ethos. Badass little creatures, but strong when provoked in the wrong way! Thanks for your time and the thoughtful review of my design! _michael ...p.s. congratulations on 1K subscribers and wishing you a continued journey along the way.
This made my day! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell that story. Love the trainers, and will be keeping an eye out for more offerings from Atreyu 🙏🏾
@@RDQLUS Indeed! We'll keep cruising on!
These sneakers are banging
Yeah, if you like turning heads, these will do that. Haha
@@RDQLUS "But to be honest, in the end, it's all about that when it comes to fashion, especially nowadays, it's all about 'show and shine'."
Does the shoe has good flex? You know when you are running and it feels sort of a trampoline like the alphaflies. Is it like that ?
No, it doesn’t feel like the Alpha Fly bounce. The cushioning is responsive, but there’s more of a forward roll. There is a little bit of bounce from the pebax insole.
Agree on all counts! Thank you.
Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙏🏾
nice review!
Thank you! Thanks for commenting.
Thank you for this review! This are clean AF and I will %💯 be coppin a pair or three from this beautiful company Flowers For Society 🌸 🌹 🌺
Yeah, they are extra clean! And unique, which is difficult to do nowadays without getting cartoonish or weird. Appreciate the view and comment. Thank you!
Son unas zapatillas fantásticas . Tengo varios pares y pienso seguir comprando . Definitivamente ,esta marca china es top.
thanks! Great review. I went for the white and black OG G. I have the Lost Sketch so I will compare a regular and the Golf version.
Right now I’m searching for a good price on the Royals. If I can’t find the OG, I’ll cop the Golf again and review those.
I just bought a pair 👍👍👍
How do you like them so far?
@@RDQLUS I love how soft they are, and how they roll my foot
Please give buying link
Wow. I am impressed with the technical shoe knowledge across so many brands and the thoroughness of your reviews including the science behind them 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words. Lots of reviewers are great at reading what they are sent. I try to go from the viewpoint of a designer who is a lifelong athlete-which I’m both. It’s difficult to stand out in the hype and media production of it all, so I just do it for the love of it. Thank you again 🙏🏾
Brother can I get da brand of those super dope sunglasses?
Can you give me the brand of your sunglasses if you don’t mind.Im feeling dem shades.
It’s actually a factory sample of a pair I was testing for my accessories brand HVYCRWN by RDQLUS. Production quantities were out of my range, but I did buy this sample and they are fire! There are no screws, foldable and held together by only the spring tension of the metal. There are a couple of similar styles from two European brands; “Roav” and another called “IC Berlin”. Hope that helps.
Thank you brother.
@@zuzguzman269 thank you for the view and communication brother
I’ve been looking at the Transport GTX as my first HOKA. I’ve pretty much stayed with the Saucony Shadow series for the most part but this new GTX caught my eye.
Appreciate the review!
My pleasure!
Ordered a black pair yesterday!
Really great, detailed review! Thank you!! I like that you got into plate stiffness and how it's one of the less aggressive plates, that's helpful to know
Thank you so much for commenting and watching. I’m really impressed with this shoe, and the cost/benefit ratio is off the charts so far. Lots of use already.
Nice review bro! I'm getting this pair because of your review! 😁
I have tested and love those shoes from Decathlon- especially the value you get for the price🤩🚀
They really are a great value. I like when the great tech gets to affordable brands. When I lived in France, Decathlon was my favorite place for my training gear.
Love your videos bro. It’s great to see a creator spotlighting a wide variety of unique running shoes
Ayo! I really appreciate you taking notice of something I do very much on purpose, because I love interesting and innovative footwear and I’m an athlete for life. There are tons of many channel and reviewers talking about only the hyped shoes. I like some of those too, but it gets rather boring because no one is going to say anything truly different. Thank you 🙏🏾
