Brooks has launched the Hyperion Max 3, a high-performance training shoe made for runners who want a shoe that provides speed and recovery in equal measure. The midsole is built of DNA GOLD, a 100% PEBA (polyether block amide) foam, a type of thermoplastic elastomer foam, the lightest and most responsive material Brooks has engineered to date.

The Hyperion Max 3 is built to help runners train harder, recover quicker, and get race-day ready.

Hyperion Max 3 is ideal for long runs, high mileage weeks, or workouts demanding extra propulsion and cushioning…

Featuring a high-stack design with a combination of DNA GOLD and DNA FLASH v2 cushioning that adds responsiveness, making each step feel snappy and efficient. The integrated SpeedVault plate and updated RapidRoll Rocker geometry deliver maximum energy return, propulsion, and seamless heel-to-toe transitions. This makes it ideal for uptempo runs, while the increased stack height and enhanced stability make it equally suited for longer efforts.

A lightweight, breathable mesh upper provides a secure fit, locking the foot in place and providing comfort during speedwork, tempo runs, and long training sessions.

The Hyperion Max 3 vs the Hyperion 3:

• Hyperion Max 3: Ideal for those looking to train fast without sacrificing protection, particularly for long runs, high mileage weeks, or workouts demanding extra propulsion and cushioning. Its versatility also makes it the perfect race-day shoe for runners who want speed, comfort, and stability.
• Hyperion 3: The go-to lower-stack lightweight trainer for intervals, tempo runs, and track workouts. Without a plate, it offers a more grounded, snappier ride.

The Hyperion Max 3 is built for runners who want it all  – speed, protection and recovery in one shoe.  This super trainer helps athletes push harder, recover faster, and stay strong through every run.
