Features
The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 delivers the perfect blend of speed and comfort to help you get the most out of every training run.
Whether you're working toward your first 5K or training for a marathon PR, the Hyperion Max 3 makes every workout feel like a step forward. DNA GOLD cushioning provides that lightweight, responsive feel that helps you maintain good form even when you're pushing the pace, while the high-stack design gives you the protection you need to bounce back faster between sessions. The RapidRoll Rocker creates smooth, natural transitions that help you find your rhythm and stay there, making speed work feel less intimidating and long runs more enjoyable.
Details:
- Upper: The breathable mesh upper keeps your feet comfortable during tough workouts while providing the security you need at faster paces. It's designed to work with you, not against you, so you can focus on your training goals.
- Midsole: DNA GOLD and DNA FLASH v2 cushioning work together to give you responsive energy return and reliable protection. The SpeedVault plate adds that extra boost that helps you maintain strong form when your legs start feeling tired.
- Outsole: The RapidRoll Rocker helps guide your foot through each stride, making transitions feel smooth and effortless. It's the kind of feature that helps you settle into a comfortable rhythm faster.
