Brooks Men's Hyperion Max 3 Running Shoes

About This Item

    What Our Experts Are Saying:

    "I’ve run in a lot of shoes over the years, but the Hyperion Max has quickly become one of my favorites—and honestly, it just fits the way I like to run. What I love most is how fast this shoe feels. The moment you pick up the pace, it really comes alive. It’s lightweight, responsive, and has that forward roll that just keeps you moving. It’s not one of those overly soft, sink-in shoes—it’s more of a firm, snappy ride, which I personally prefer because it feels efficient and race-ready. The cushioning is a sweet spot for me. There’s enough there to handle longer runs without beating up your legs, but it never feels heavy or sluggish. It’s the kind of shoe that makes you want to push the pace a little more than you planned. That said, it’s not perfect—and I get why some people might not love it. The fit runs a bit narrow, and it’s definitely built for neutral runners. Also, this isn’t the shoe I reach for on easy, slow days—it really shines when you’re moving with purpose. Bottom line: This is my go-to when I want to feel quick, efficient, and locked in. The Hyperion Max isn’t trying to be everything—and that’s exactly why it works so well. It knows what it is: a fast, no-nonsense training shoe that delivers when it matters." - Peter, DM at DICK'S Sporting Goods Miami and Orlando

Happy Father’s Day To Me.

I like the structure and the color way of the shoe, nice, However, the way the shoe squeezes the top of my foot, to the point that I can’t complete my run without having to stop every 10-15 steps because of PAIN is unacceptable. I’ve gone from an 11:13 mile to a 17+ mile. No matter how loose I tie them, regular, heel lock, NO tie at all, there’s no avoiding the serious fatigue generated by running in these shoes. I think These were my first pair of brooks ever, and on top of that they were a Father’s Day gift from my wife! Disappointed, I’ve already started the return process. Thanks brooks. I think I’ll save up and go back to Nike. :)

Running In Heels

Worst running shoes ever! Felt like I ran in stiletto heels! The shoe is too unforgiving and hurt my feet. Took it for a 10k run and wanted to rip the shoes off after mile 3

Great Shoe!

Brooks nailed this shoe with a combination of high stack, stability, cushioning and bounce. This shoe has been great for easy runs, long runs and picking up the pace a bit. Plus it looks fantastic doing it! Would buy again.

Excellent Shoe!

I really enjoyed running in the Hyperion Max 1, but didn't like the feel of the Max 2. However, the Max 3 has a wider toe box and adds a nice little spring in my step (even more than the Max 1). Once you get your pace going, they really help you float on by. They help keep my stride balanced and stable with my old runner knees. Very comfortable. I tried running without my arch supports and they still did the trick! No issues (maybe even more comfortable). It takes a few strides to get used to the feel, but once you get your cadence, they react well with you and the pavement. They are not made for walking, and have motivated me this last month to ramp it up!

Very cushioned. So far no issues running on the sidewalk. I wish they had more primary colors I have the super bright yellow ones so at least at night I’m visible

Nice Daily Trainer, Tongue Could Be Better.

The Max 3 is a nice daily trainer. The 3 is much better than the 2. The only issue I’ve had is the tongue can cause some irritation when wearing zero profile socks.

Well we're in June and today I learned what lace bite is. So I was attempting a sub 4hr marathon in nyc last year when around mile 18 I felt the sharpest pain on both the very mid top of my foot. I was wearing the pynrs hyperion max 3. When I loosened the laces it was still and unmanageable pain. My marathon went from a 3:56 to a painful 4:34. Thats just to let you know how hurt I was from this shoe. I returned them days later. I have never returned a brooks shoe before. But since they came out with the Hyperion max 4 I figured I let anyone trying to buy this shoe on sale beware.

Fast

I’ve had these for a month and I can tell how much faster my runs are in these compared to my other running shoes. Great purchase!

Beautiful Shoe, Just Wrong For Me

The shoe looks great but fits a bit snug in the toe box for my right foot (sigh). They are light, springy, the tongue design and laces work great together but unfortunately my three 5-mile runs have revealed that these are not the shoe for me since one foot feels great and the other doing the Morton’s neuroma thing

Foot Pain

I've never had more pain in my foot than with this shoe. Im not sure why, but the left side of my foot is very uncomfortable after 30 minutes and a tingle stays over the toes for hours. It's just such a soft shoe and I have been a Hyperion fan from the original release which I still use sparingly as it's the best of the best. I'm hoping after more of a break in it will not do this, but it's uncomfortable for the first 5 runs.

Ffffff Fast!!!

Love them for the extra speed they provide. I easily shave a minute off my mile pace compared to my Glycerin GTS with no elevated heart rate. The issue is that the last pair I ordered, the soles started wearing excessively before I even reached 80 miles. It seems these new super-shoes wear out much faster than traditional models. But boy are they FAST!!!
