Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The shoes are praised for their comfort, responsiveness, and lightweight feel, making them suitable for faster-paced runs. The cushioning and energy return are also highlighted as positive features. However, some users have experienced issues with the fit, including a tight toe box and lack of medial support, leading to discomfort. A few reviewers also noted the shoes felt clunky and unstable, especially at slower paces. The consensus is that the shoes are good for speed work and racing, but may not be the best choice for everyday training or runners with specific support needs.

Greast new flashy, bouncy, speedy shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the foam and the responsive bounciness of this shoe. They feel peppy and quick when you need to up the tempo. The bright color for the mens style is great, but I would love to see additional flashy color options for the womens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first super trainer I ever bought and it delivered. I felt much faster doing long and shorts due to the carbon plate. Cushioning was consistent too. Only real complaints are the padding on the tongue and a slightly restrictive toe box. However, I feel that I got my money’s worth and then some.

Bring back the Max II
Heavy and hot. Not sure if I’m keeping them. I really loved my Hyperion Max II and am honestly a little disappointed in these.

Feel great to run in, bouncy but firm enough to be supportive and very comfortable for 5-10 mile runs

Solid trainer
Fits a little snug. Feels very bouncy. Have only used it for road runs so far, sure it would be fine for treadmill also. Very light, mesh on the top, so it’s nice for Texas heat. Just wish it came in more colors, mostly neutral. I don’t wear colors a lot, though I do like the orange/coral.

I loved the Hyperion Max 1 & 2, this version seems to be going in a different direction. Max 3 is much heavier and felt awkward and very clunky. I feel unstable while running and unable to get comfortable at any pace. The upper was very tight and the heel fit is harsh and protrudes into your Achilles. I have run in Brooks for 20 years and never had blisters or soreness in my feet until the Max 3.

Outsole not substantial, too much tongue,
Bout these about a month ago and have put 200km into them. On the good side, the new sock like opening is exceptional, giving good heel lock. A real upgrade. The midsole is also very responsive. However, the outsole has already worn through in places after only 200km. The new laces are terrible and too short. There is way too much material in the tongue which means it all gathers up under the laces. Couldn't recommend.

Better than expected - light and fast
bought these a month ago. Having had Ghost and Glycerines for over 10 years. Certainly a step up and improvement on pace. Comfy and super light. An ideal staple for a race shoe to complement my brooks training stock

Pretty disappointing update to the hyperion max's. The 2s were my favorite shoes Brooks has ever made. Definitely see the vision but the cushion and upper were complete misses from me. Did 3 tempo runs and am returning them. Feet hurt, the energy return from the base was there but felt squirrely and put a lot of stress on my lower legs. For sure would get hurt if I continued to use them.

Best in class!
The reviews don’t give this shoe enough credit. Love it! Perfect balance of cushioning and stability. Highly recommend. Works well for flat feet also.
