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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoes for being on my feet for 12hr shifts. My feet and back do not bother me sine I started wearing these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely disappointed in the fit of the new Hyperion Max 3. I had really bad plantar pain within the first 5 minutes of running with them. I pushed through and ran 3 miles the first day and 5 the next, but had to stop multiple times due to the discomfort and pain. Besides the plantar pain, the shoe feels unsteady and my right foot rolled a few times - feels like the increase in foam and thickness makes the shoe feel very unsteady.
I am a 7.5 and always order a half size up on running shoes, but the increase size didn’t make any difference in the feel.
I was excited to try them since I ran two half marathons and a full marathon with the Hyperion Max 2 and LOVED those shoes. This new version is definitely not a good fit for me.
I will be returning them.

Feel like Mario!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these for a fun long run. They fit a little snug but will stretch out. I get an 8.5 in all Brooks and feel happy with an 8.5. On my 3rd pair!

Not a Fan
Love the cushioning and height. Generally comfortable but the sock-like fit around ankle and stiff materials around back of heel made the fit too rigid for me. I was hoping this would replace my Hyperion 2 but unfortunately the materials did not work for me. I transitioned to Adrenaline for now until the next Hyperion series (which I remain committed to).

Bounciest shoe ever!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe is perfect for energy return in every step and to feel like you can really pop back up off the ground! The sizing is perfect as well!
