"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

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!!!

Needed Sneakers
I’m a vested runner who runs 10 miles a day. I have always had Hoka and On sneakers. I have just worn my first Brooks running sneakers. I can say moving forward, I will not be switching from the Brooks running sneaker. I get more support and comfort than I ever have before.

Really like them for my short distance or interval runs. Use my Glycerin Max’s for my long distance runs! Took about 2-3 runs to get used to them but really enjoy them now!!!

Great Marathon Training Shoe
I purchased this show as i was after a long run training shoe. After being disappointed with the Asics SuperBlast 2, the Hyperion Max 3 is a dream! Springy, bouncy and propelling forward, it makes the long range km's so easy to get. Feels a lot lighter and faster than it weighs, it's a pleasure to run in. No issues with lockdown or laces. The only thing for me is the traction, not faring as well as other shoes on slick surfaces, but all in all, it's brilliant.

Amazing Cushion And Feel
Been a long time On shoes athlete. I tried a version of Glycerin, didn't like the fit around forefoot. But this Hyperion shoes is on another level of cushion and roll. This is a definite walking and running on cloud!

Brooks Hit The Mark With The Hyperion 3 Max!
Best running shoe I’ve ever ran in. I loved the Hyperion Max 2, these are certainly a huge step up. I worn them for a half marathon, a 14 mile run, and some other base runs and got about 45 miles so far and they feel amazingly comfortable. I ordered 1 size up as I have always done with any Brooks running shoe for the past 7 years. These have Great Cushion, and my feet feel great after every run! I’ve set some PRs; it seems like every run turns into some person record. Buy these, thank me later!

Great Shoe For Medium To Long Runs!
Hyperion Max 3 feels almost completely different than the Hype Max 2. The new mesh top side of the shoe feels like a glove/sock and is very stretchy. The shoelaces are there to sort of just keep that in place a little more than the way you normally use shoelaces to keep your shoe on. It feels like the shoe runs a little bigger than the previous ones as the length from heel to toe feels a litttle bit longer. I almost thought about returning and getting a size down, but would rather have a little long than to short. Once you get moving in the shoe, it is a very comfortable and springy shoe. The foot turnover feels easier than the Hype Max 2 and I have noticed it seems to be easier to run faster and longer with these. All and in, great upgrade from the Hype Max 2s.

Hyperion Max 3s
Very good shoes, my first time using carbon plated shoes, and they are super easy to run in for the whole run. I have used them for 2 half marathons so far and they have been helped me keep the pace up even at kilometre 20.
