Mens Brooks Hyperion Max 3 (D-Width)

Brooks Hyperion Max 3 – The Super‑Trainer for Tempo Runs & Daily Miles

Meet the Brooks Hyperion Max 3, a high‑stack, max‑cushion road shoe engineered for neutral runners who demand speed, protection, and a smooth ride across every kind of training run. Whether you're logging daily miles or pushing through tempo workouts, this shoe delivers the ideal balance between plush comfort and efficient propulsion.

Cushion & Midsole Construction

Underfoot, a thick 46 mm heel / 40 mm forefoot stack features a dual‑density midsole: Brooks’ ultra‑responsive DNA GOLD foam (100 % PEBA) overlies their energetic DNA FLASH v2 base. Together, this pairing offers soft landings paired with lively rebound—perfect for tempo pacing and higher mileage days. Sandwiched between them is a nylon SpeedVault plate, which, along with the RapidRoll rocker geometry, creates a smooth heel‑to‑toe transition that helps guide your stride forward with effortless turnover.

Fit & Upper

The updated engineered mesh upper is paired with a knit collar and sock‑like gusseted tongue to deliver a locked‑in, breathable fit. While snug—especially through the midfoot—it holds the foot securely even during fast efforts or long tempo segments.

Outsole & Durability

Brooks’ RoadTack rubber is strategically placed in high‑wear zones to provide grip and resilience over long training cycles. Though some testers noted early wear in exposed foam areas, the outsole remains reliable across a variety of road surfaces.

Ideal For:

• Daily training miles: Provides high‑mileage protection without sacrificing responsiveness.

• Tempo runs and long steady workouts: The combination of cushioning and propulsion helps maintain pace with less effort and reduced fatigue.

• Recovery/accessory runs: Plush cushioning aids in bounce‑back between key sessions.
