Brooks Hyperion Max 3 - Train Fast, Recover Faster

Built for runners who refuse to compromise between speed work and recovery. The Hyperion Max 3 combines high-stack cushioning with a nylon SpeedVault propulsion plate to deliver protection and propulsion in equal measure. Whether you're hammering intervals or logging threshold miles, this shoe helps you train at intensity whilst keeping your legs fresh for tomorrow's session.

Stack It High, Go Fast

DNA FLASH v2 and 100% PEBA DNA GOLD cushioning create a towering platform that doesn't sacrifice speed for comfort. This high-stack combination absorbs the repeated impact of hard training whilst the nylon SpeedVault plate drives energy return with each toe-off. The result? You can push the pace without beating up your body, extending your training capacity over the long haul.

Seamless Speed Transitions

RapidRoll Rocker geometry takes the work out of turnover. The curved midsole profile actively guides your foot through heel-to-toe transitions, reducing the muscular effort needed to maintain quick cadence. When you're deep into a workout and fatigue sets in, the rocker keeps your stride efficient and your pace honest.

Locked In, Not Weighed Down

The engineered mesh upper balances security with breathability. Your foot stays locked down through sharp corners and tempo surges, whilst lightweight ventilation prevents overheating during extended efforts. It's the kind of fit that disappears during easy runs but holds firm when you're chasing splits.

Is This the Right Trainer for You?

Perfect for runners who treat training seriously and need a shoe that can handle high-intensity work without compromising recovery. If your weekly schedule includes tempo runs, track sessions, or faster-paced long runs, the Hyperion Max 3 gives you the cushioning to protect your legs whilst maintaining the responsiveness needed for quality speed work. The high stack suits runners who've experienced soreness from firmer race shoes during training, offering similar propulsion with significantly more protection. The neutral platform works best for biomechanically efficient runners who don't require stability features. If you're the type who logs hard efforts multiple times per week and needs footwear that won't leave you hobbling the next day, this shoe strikes the rare balance between fast and forgiving.
