Anyone already tried the hyper speeds and has recommendations?? Thinking bout buying them (not directly as a racing shoes but more as a trainer for intervalls and other fast runs).

The pre-2018 models of the hyperspeed were awesome (v5 v6 v7)
The current version is just using the name and has nothing to do with the original and you'll wonder what all the excitement was about as they are bleh
The key was not only the foam but they were like 5 ounces or less, not any more as the upper and foam is heavier. Before the vaporfly possibly the best shoe around, maybe even better than adios under half-marathon distance.
ASICS ruined a great thing.
They are very fun for intervals and fast runs. The ride is very get up and go with the aggressive toe spring on the shoe. I don't know if you've tried prior hyper speeds, but these are really more like current shoes like Hoka Rincon with a generous stack and rocker. For a really great price, don't think you'll be upset about these for intervals and fast runs.

I disagree. This is a great shoe -- thank you ASICS!!
The HyperSpeed was my shoe of choice for a long time. Simple, light, adequate cushioning, perfect offset. I ran many sub3 marathons in them, in my 50s. I was sad to see them go, but the 4% filled the void, for racing at least.
The new shoe has the same basic features with a little more stack and cushion. I'm stocking up on these and glad the search for a HyperSpeed replacement is finally over!
