Dick's Sporting Goods is in the middle of a huge shoe sale, with deals on everything from hiking footwear and casual sneakers to basketball shoes and even cleats. But some of the best deals to find are on men's running shoes, with many styles from brands like Brooks—most notably the Ghost 15—well under $100. But there's another model on sale from the running giant that shoppers say is one of the best to wear for distance running and marathon training, and it's now up to $77 less than it is on Amazon and through Brooks directly.
Right now, the Brooks Hyperion Max running shoes are on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods for as low as $93—up to 45% off the original price of $170. This distance running style has earned 140 five-star ratings from runners who say it's their "absolute favorite Brooks shoe ever." They're currently available in sizes 8 through 14 and are on sale in four colors, but some have already started to sell out.

The Hyperion Max is a neutral running shoe that blends two components that many distance and race runners want: speed and cushion. The sole design features a curved heel and toe, which helps propel runners forward with fast transitions from strike to push-off. The mid-stack midsole is made with the brand's lightweight, nitrogen-infused foam, helping to keep the weight low, the responsiveness high, and the feet well-protected from impact. It's the type of shoe that's perfect for race and marathon training or for anybody who wants to work on sprints.
Runners who have opted for the Hyperion Max have noted that it helps them stay fluid and fast, regardless of the incline. "Great cushioning, super light, and rocker gives you near-effortless speed on downhills," a shopper said. "Raced in them for the first time in the NYC Half Marathon and was able to conserve energy on the uphills while making up time (and then some) on the downhills. Beat my goal time by 23 minutes. This was my first race since a hip replacement four years ago, and the cushioning kept me feeling comfortable and pain-free the whole race."

Others compared the non-plated Hyperion Max to other similar shoes that do have plates, or an embedded strip of structured material, built into them. "I wanted a shoe without a plate for my tempo runs because my half-marathon training plan had a lot of them," a shopper began. "My first run in this shoe felt stiff for the first few miles…I stuck with it and this foam has become great, quickly. I really enjoy my runs in this shoe. It is on the firm side, but not harsh, and it gives you energy back in just the right way. Where plated shoes feel like they are sort of hard to control, this shoe really works with what you bring to it. Once you hit that 7:45-and-below pace, it really comes alive."
For those with a marathon or race in their future, the Hyperion Max is one of the shoes you need to consider as your training companion, especially now that it's on sale for as low as $93. With a ton of cushion and responsiveness, it'll keep you feeling strong, fast, and poised to crush your PR. But since other colors have already sold out, it's best to hop on this deal quickly before sizes disappear.
