Hyperion Max 3 Running Shoe - Men's

Hyperion Max 3 Review

Did my first run in these today in light rain. It was faster paced threshold run zone 4. Shoes worked out great and highly recommend them. These shoes felt comfortable at speed and fit very well. I would say traction is good and a great shoe for interval training and higher paced runs at least for me. They feel awkward at slower pace or just starting out the run working up. For my slower paced recovery and distance runs I will use the Glycerin 22s. For my 5k/10k shoes the Hyperion Elite 5. Overall great to have in a rotation for what your training for.

Hyperion Max 3 my favorite new runningshoe

As a very heavy beginning runner I absolutely love the Hyperion Max 3. They fit true to size for me, and I loved the snug sock-like fit that gave such a great heel lockdown for me. They felt stable, protective, and well cushioned without feeling too mushy at slow paces. At faster paces the nylon plate and rocker really made it come alive. I'm a VERY slow runner but first time I ran in these I broke every PB within my 4.5 mile run. Only negative thing I can say is that although I really liked the laces, I wish they were longer to accommodate the higher volume of my feet. One last thing, maybe it's because I'm heavier runner but they did not feel heavy to me as I've heard and read in many reviews, they felt just perfect.

Ehh, prefer the Max 2

I have the Hyperion Max 1 and 2 and these were a big disappointment. I loved the firmness of #1 and the responsiveness and upper from #2. These Hyperion Max 3 totally missed the mark. They are way too cushiony, if that is a word, which causes knee pain from the instability. The upper isn't as good as #2. Please go back to the Hyperion max 2 formula. Amazing upper and a firmer bottom.

No medial support

Have loved all the other Hyperion models but these missed the mark. They have no medial support which really put a lot of pressure on your first MTP. The cushion and stack height is just too much, I constantly feel like I’m going to sprain my ankle when running in them.

Great sole with rolling impact provides excellent cushioning and still stable will need second pair

Boston Qualified!

Love these shoes, perfect blend of comfort and speed. Comfortable to run a Marathon yet are fast enough for a Half PR or 5K. The cushion and the stack are perfect. Versatility meets function, homerun for Brooks.

Premium super trainer

Excellent long run shoes for me. Just helps me keep going for those 10+ miles and kept my legs fresh. Fit feels like a race day shoe and locks down my feet without any hotspots.

Narrow. Too high of a stack. Tight toe box. Please go back to the original hyperion max style.

My pair took a little bit of breaking in to get going in them...maybe 3-4 runs of 6-7 miles each. But they seem to be fitting and riding a lot better than the first couple of runs now.

Alot to like

Hyperion Max 3 feels great on my feet. There is plenty of cushion and good energy return. The shoe feels softer and heavier than the Hyperion Max 2. That being said it is very comfortable to run in at fast and slow paces.
