The Hyperion Elite 5 is Brooks' carbon-plated road racing shoe, built for 5K to marathon race day. It pairs a full-length Arris carbon fiber Speedvault+ plate with DNA GOLD, a 100% PEBA foam Brooks calls its lightest and highest-energy-return cushioning. The upper is a thin, near-weightless mesh with silicone lace sheaths and a TPU-pressed build for a locked race fit. It competes with other super-shoe racers like the Nike Vaporfly and Adidas Adios Pro, trading some everyday comfort for a stiff, propulsive ride that suits runners chasing personal bests rather than daily training.

Racers rate the Hyperion Elite 5 as a fast, light super shoe that shines at race pace, though many find the stiff plate and thin upper demanding for anything slower or longer than race day.
The Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 is a men's road running shoe built for race day. It was tested and developed with pro athletes, and it suits speed workouts, quick transitions and road races from 5K to marathon.
The midsole uses DNA GOLD 100% PEBA cushioning, which is the lightest, softest and highest energy return foam Brooks has made. A carbon Arris Speedvault+ plate is sized for each shoe to reduce weight and tune bending stiffness.
The upper is lightweight for a near-invisible fit. Silicone lace sheaths and a full TPU pressed upper connect the shoe to the foot. The shoe offers neutral support.
