Details & care
Engineered to maximize speed and minimize weight, this game-changing running shoe sits on a fusion of cushioning and propulsion technologies that transform every landing into explosive forward movement.
Perfect for: Runners looking to build or maintain speed in an ultralightweight shoe that propels every stride forward on a bed of cutting-edge technologies.
Upper: Openwork knit provides superior ventilation while flexing and recovering with every stride. Cushioned collar and tongue ensure comfortable lockdown for distraction-free running.
Midsole Drop: 6mm. Classified as a mid-drop measurement, it pushes your foot forward to support a more natural mid/forefoot strike.

Five stars all around đđŸđđŸ
[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.

Iâve run in the Hyperion Max for several years now. I tried the Max 3, and there is a plastic piece at the top of the shoelace that digs into my foot/ankle. I had to stop wearing them because it was too painful.

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.

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!

Great shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I wasnât sure about this shoe. The first run started off with a lot of questions and the first mile I wasnât 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 Iâve worn in a long time.

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!

Hyperions are the way!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By far my favorite Hyperion shoe! The Hyperion 3s are great however the Max 3 provides more comfort for the longer faster runs. They look amazing too! I get lots of compliments đ€
