After finding a running shoe that works for your arches, ankles, shins, and knees, it’s not uncommon to stay within that brand forever. For some, that shoe is the Asics Gel-Cumulus or the Gel-Kayano, but others have hopped on the Hoka train, and some still stride in New Balance. However, Brooks, another running giant known for styles like the Ghost and Adrenaline, just had a top-rated lightweight training shoe—one to which even the most style-loyal Brooks fans are switching—go on sale.
Right now, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo road running shoe, a newer style to the beloved running brand, is on sale for as low as $63—up to 58% off the original price of $150—in the “Black/Flame/Grey” color. Many other colors are also on sale, which is fortunate, because this training shoe has proven itself as a reliable runner. It’s earned a 4.6-star rating on average after more than 1,000 total ratings, with 78% overall coming in as perfect.

The Brooks Hyperion Tempo running shoe is a neutral trainer with above-average cushioning compared to other Brooks styles. This means that it best supports a centered, neutral stride instead of one that overpronates or underpronates. It features a mesh-woven upper for maximum breathability and flexibility that sits on a rubber-treaded, nitrogen-infused foam sole that knocks most of the weight out, getting the shoe down to just 7.3 ounces. Stripping the weight out also helps you gain more control over your stride, increasing overall speed.
Lightweight running shoes have become all the rage in the last decade, with movements behind barefoot running, a successful mass-market push of the Nike Free series, and newer brands like On and Hoka driving the point home. But Brooks, who’s been in the shoe game for over 100 years, has responded to every trend in running with a well-rounded and hyper-competitive solution. That’s what the Hyperion Tempo running shoe gives customers today.

The shoe has made such an impact after only about four years that some are already swearing by it. One Brooks-loyal customer switched to the Hyperion Tempo after going through other Brooks styles. “I run almost exclusively in Brooks at this point. I actually like a lot of other brands but everything I have owned from Brooks just works as promised… If you love to run and are looking for a solid trainer that's faster and lighter, I absolutely wholeheartedly recommend the Brooks Tempo. You just get a rare combination of comfort and speed here,” they said.
Even marathon runners are making the switch. “I migrated from the Brooks Ghost to the Hyperion. I have been able to run the Berlin and London marathons with these, including full training… In the beginning, I interchanged training shoes with Brooks Ghost and did my split training with the Hyperion, but slowly went into full training with the latter. Happy with the overall performance of these shoes and will continue running with them. Also, people go crazy about the beautiful designs,” a marathon-running customer said.
This sale offers a great opportunity to get a high-quality, lightweight running shoe from a trusted brand in the game for as low as $63—up to $87 off the original price. If you’re looking to go faster, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo is the shoe to help you do it. But use that same mentality to grab your size before the price goes back up.
