How it compares
Side-by-side with its neighbouring generations.
Our read

A versatile lightweight trainer for runners who want a quick, springy shoe for workouts and daily miles rather than a dedicated racer. Its added foam makes it softer than past Hyperions while staying nimble.

Ride

Soft yet responsive underfoot thanks to nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH v2, with an extra 2mm of foam over the previous version. Quick and lively at faster paces without feeling harsh.

Fit

Standard width only, running roughly true to size but with a toe box several reviewers found narrow. Midfoot lockdown is secure via the light mesh upper.

Best for

Runners wanting one lightweight shoe for tempo workouts and everyday miles at a moderate price.

Avoid if

You have wider feet or need multiple width options, as the toe box runs narrow and only standard width is offered.
