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.

I’ve 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.

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.

Extremely Comfortable Long Distance Shoes
I bought these for long-distance running. So far, my longest run with them is 21km and these shoes are extremely comfortable. The soles of the sneakers are extremely cushioned, which makes them extremely responsive and give a steady propulsion throughout the run. I also own a pair of Ghost 17s for shorter distance, and these Hyperion Maxs are much more efficient for long runs. I could not recommend these more as a purpose pair of running shoes for long distances.

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.
