• Stack: High for maximum support and cushioning on fast long distances
• Upper: Ultralight engineered mesh with 76% recycled materials (environmental sustainability)
• Drop: 6mm (heel-to-toe offset) - natural and fast transition
• Weight: Ultralight for its maximum cushioning category (size-specific)
• Support level: Maximum support with assisted transition from impact to toe-off
• Available sizes: EU 41, 42, 43, 44, 45

Who They Are Perfect For

The Hyperion Max 3 are ideal for experienced runners (weight 60-85kg) seeking versatile shoes for speed training, tempo runs, and fast long runs, runners who want to combine protection and responsiveness without choosing between cushioning and lightness, athletes preparing for races from 10km to marathon at medium-fast paces (3:30-5:00 min/km), and runners who accumulate 40-70km weekly with a mix of quality and volume workouts. Also perfect for marathon races at a pace of 3:45-5:00 min/km thanks to the balance between prolonged comfort and propulsive push.

When NOT to Choose Them

Avoid these shoes if you are looking for models for slow recovery or jogging under 6:00 min/km (too reactive), ultralight racing shoes for 5-10km under 3:30 min/km (use Hyperion Elite), footwear for technical trail running on rough terrain, models with stability for severe pronation, or if you weigh over 90kg (insufficient cushioning for high impacts). Not suitable for absolute beginners or runners who prioritize only comfort over speed.

DNA FLASH and SpeedVault Technology

DNA FLASH: Ultralight nitrogen-infused foam developed for elite Brooks athletes, offers 91% energy return (superior to traditional EVA), maintains responsiveness up to 600-700km, and reduces weight by 30% compared to standard DNA LOFT. SpeedVault Plate: Flexible nylon plate integrated into the midsole that guides quick heel-to-toe transitions, increases biomechanical efficiency by 8-12%, and provides propulsive push without the excessive rigidity of carbon plates. High Stack: Geometry with generous cushioning that protects joints over long distances while maintaining a direct ground feel.

Environmental Sustainability

The Hyperion Max 3 incorporate 76% recycled materials in the upper, using yarns derived from post-consumer PET bottles and industrial textile waste. Brooks has reduced its carbon footprint by 18% compared to the previous generation through optimized production processes and low-emission logistics. 100% recyclable packaging without single-use plastic.

Recommended Use

Speed training: Tempo runs 10-20km at a pace of 3:45-4:45 min/km, interval training 1000-3000m, progressive runs. Fast long runs: 20-35km outings for marathon preparation at race pace or slightly slower (4:00-5:00 min/km). Race: Half marathon and marathon at a pace of 3:45-5:00 min/km with maximum energy efficiency. Surfaces: Asphalt, track, compact dirt roads. Ideal temperature: 5-30°C. Lifespan: 600-800km while maintaining DNA FLASH responsiveness.
