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

Great For Race Day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable feel from start to finish during the race. This shoe I specifically use for race days

Brooks Hit The Mark With The Hyperion 3 Max!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Great Tempo And Speed Work Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great speed day shows when you want to push the tempo. A great speed day shoe I am using with my Glycerin 23’s equals the perfect combo.

Great Fit

Would love to get more but color selections are limited

Almost Awesome

Loved the feel of this shoe. It’s stiff in the sole and luxuriously cushioned. Really comfortable except 2 things: there’s a tighter band in the shoe that comes across the top of my foot. I could use a looser band. There’s a piece of foam that digs into the side of my ankle below the bone and it irritates me. For those two reasons I’m sending them back. The tongue in the shoe is very thin and odd at first but once you adjust it’s not a big deal. Super comfortable shoe but the foam pressing into the side of my ankle is a deal breaker. Sad to send them back but would rather have my money.

Perfect For Taller Runners

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 6'5" and 195lbs, and I just finished a 450mi training block with a 3:19:00 marathon in these shoes. Being a bigger runner, these shoes offered just the right amount of spring while also supporting me for consistent mileage through ought my training and my race. If you're tall like me, these are a safe option for balancing speed and stability over high mileage.

Great Running Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have about 38 miles on Max3 they have more toe space and feel slightly heavier and softer than my old Hyperion Max shoes. The one thing I didn't like about the Max3 was the tongue shape, which sometimes rose above my no-show socks.

Five Stars All Around 👊🏾👌🏾

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I weigh 250 lbs and these are the very best when it comes to comfort and support on my long treadmill runs and training sessions. It truly feels as if I have shock absorbing sneakers on. I wish there were more color options, because they would be the only sneakers I would wear. I use there for running as well as for gym training.

10/10 Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe is amazing! It delivered on all aspects that I was looking for comfort, stability, and durability. The shape of the shoe really helped with my transition and help elevate all the pain I had in my shine when going on long runs training for a marathon. 10/10 would recommend!

Brooks Hyperion 3

These Shoes are a great option if you do not want to go full carbon plate. It is sturdy and comfortable will definitely be putting in many miles on these.

Great Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I wasn’t sure about this shoe. The first run started off with a lot of questions and the first mile I wasn’t sure. But after a few miles I was hooked. And it has become now my favorite shoe to run it. The ride is awesome. I have run in a lot of brooks (and others) but this one I am excited about. They are pricy but so far best shoe I’ve worn in a long time.

Great For Running

These sneakers are great for walking and running. I love the bounce I feel when I walk and run. It’s as if there’s a spring pushing me back up but it’s just the cushion and build of the sneaker. I never purchased this brand before but this won’t be my last

10/10 Would Buy Again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit and comfortable, feels very stable even with the extra cushioning, light weight compared to other shoes with higher stacks. Wish there were more color options!
