Conquer uptempo training, half marathons, full marathons and fast-paced race days in the Brooks Hyperion Elite 6 Super Shoes, combining speed-focused geometry and innovative engineering. They deliver a lightweight, soft and aggressive ride that offers significant improvements on its predecessor to cater to the contemporary, speed-driven runner. 

For race day, you need a distraction-free fit that keeps you focused on the road ahead. With optimal stretch and featherlight materials, the full TPU coated, flat-knit upper creates a harmonious partnership between your racing shoes and your feet. 

Powered by DNA Gold PEBA foam cushioning that’s now softer, springier and lighter, the experience underfoot has been refined from the previous version. The propulsive carbon fibre SpeedVault+ plate is steeper for fierce speed, and is complemented by the pronounced RapidRoll rocker geometry that maintains forward momentum smoothly. 

A durable CPU (cast polyurethane) rubber outsole has impressed runners with its high-speed traction in both dry and wet conditions on the road, and can even conquer some light gravel with a satisfying bite. 

“The Hyperion Elite 6 has 10% more foam than the previous version and we improved the formulation of DNA Gold so the foam now feels softer, lighter and more responsive underfoot for race day.” -  Lee, Brooks Footwear Product Line Manager

Worn By Elite Athletes: The Brooks Hyperion Elite 6 has been tested by mile world record holder Josh Kerr - giving you confidence that it’s at the pinnacle of race-day performance. A prototype of the Hyperion Elite 6 was worn by Jess McClain when she finished the Boston Marathon in 2:20:49 on 20 April 2026 - the fastest time for any American female runner.
