Designed for half and full marathon racers chasing peak performance, the Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 is an athlete-tested super shoe that blends cutting-edge innovation with race-day precision to help you unlock your fastest self yet. At its core is the brand-new DNA GOLD midsole, Brooks’ lightest and most responsive foam ever. Made from 100% PEBA, it’s incredibly soft, ultra-light, and engineered for max energy return, so you get more bounce with less effort. A custom-sized SpeedVault+ carbon plate is integrated into each shoe for optimal stiffness and propulsion. By tailoring the plate’s dimensions to your shoe size, Brooks trims unnecessary weight and delivers a snappy, responsive ride that adapts to you. Underfoot, the SpeedTack rubber outsole grips the road with minimal weight, providing streamlined traction exactly where you need it. Up top, the race-day-ready upper eliminates bulk for a barely-there feel. A pressed full TPU wrap, silicone lace sheaths, and minimalist design ensure the shoe stays connected to your foot like a second skin, so nothing gets between you and your goal.
