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

Comfortable And Good For Faster Workouts

A good shoe! Slightly heavier than some other shoes with plates in but feel quite responsive and good for runs where you want to push a little harder.

Supremely Padded

The Hyperion is another winner from Brooks. These shoes are supremely padded for comfort. Since I treadmill to reduce shock vs running outside, these shoes work for me.

Light, Plush And Ready For Race Day

I bought the Brooks Hyperion Max 3 earlier this month and have taken them out twice for my 10 km training runs, and I'm already impressed. The cushioning is fantastic: soft and protective underfoot, but still with a lively, responsive feel that keeps me moving forward. They're also incredibly light, so my legs feel fresher towards the end of a run, and the upper breathes really well, so my feet stay cool and comfortable the whole way. On top of the performance, they simply look great. The clean white design with the subtle grey Brooks branding is sleek and stylish, both on and off the road. After just two runs I feel confident these shoes will carry me through my training as I build up to my 20 km goal. Highly recommend them to anyone after a cushioned, lightweight shoe that's comfortable and looks good too!

Fast

The Hyperion Max 3 has quickly become one of my favorite shoes. At easy paces it’s comfortable and smooth, but the shoe really comes alive when you start picking up the pace. The faster I run, the more I notice the energy return and responsiveness. Despite being a faster shoe, it still feels surprisingly stable. The heel lockdown is excellent, and I feel secure even when cornering or pushing harder efforts. The cushioning gives plenty of protection without making the shoe feel sluggish. I recently raced a 5K in them and ran a 24:34 PR, and they felt fantastic at race pace. They made faster running feel smooth and natural without needing a carbon plate. Pros: responsive, lightweight, excellent cushioning, good stability for a performance shoe, and great energy return. Cons: not quite as exciting at very easy paces, and the medial cutout can be noticeable at first. Overall: 9.5/10. An excellent choice for tempo runs, intervals, racing, or anyone who wants a fast and responsive shoe without going all the way to a carbon-plated racer.

Love It!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer the Hyperion Max 2's tongue construction with it being seperate from the wall of the shoe but otherwise it's an upgrade. Plenty of cushioning and support.

Great For Running

Great for running, especially when trying to run a good time. Not super comfortable for daily wear but that’s not what they’re built for.

Very Comfy Shoe On The Road

One of the best shoes I've had in a very long time, so good underfoot. I had to get a second pair as a back up. Best buy to date!

Hyperion Max 3

Bring back the hyperion max 2 please. Comparatively this shoe feels firmer, but less springy, and way less stable. After reading many reviews i fely this might be more my style than the 4 and more aimilar to the 2 which i love. At 45 km. my easy runs have been fine and i didnt mind them. I have just completed a hilly long run and im not so sure now. any terrain that is not level (cambered) is more challenging than it should be, i really felt it in my ankles. I for flat speed sessions i think they will be good, hilly marathon pace long run did not feel great. Having run similar terrain in the hyperion max 2 and the hyperion 3 these will now be 3rd choice
