Brooks Hyperion MAX 3 Running Shoes
The Brooks Hyperion MAX 3 are men’s performance road running shoes built for fast training, long runs, and structured workouts. They suit runners who want speed-focused sessions with enough cushioning to handle high weekly mileage on New Zealand roads and pavements.
If you’re chasing pace in tempo runs or stacking kilometres during a training block, this shoe is designed to help you move quickly while protecting your legs.
Built for Speed and Protection
The Hyperion MAX 3 features a high stack midsole combining DNA Flash v2 and 100 percent PEBA DNA GOLD cushioning. This setup delivers a responsive, energetic feel while maintaining enough protection for longer efforts and heavy training weeks.
A nylon SpeedVault propulsion plate sits through the midsole to add forward drive. In real terms, that means smoother acceleration during workouts and less wasted energy when you lift the pace. It is firm enough for speed sessions but forgiving enough for longer runs.
The RapidRoll Rocker geometry assists heel to toe transitions, encouraging quicker turnover. When fatigue sets in late in a session, this design helps keep your stride efficient.
Up top, the lightweight breathable mesh upper locks the foot in place at higher speeds. It holds securely during sharp pace changes while still allowing airflow on warm summer runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Brooks Hyperion MAX 3 good for long runs?
Yes. The high stack cushioning and PEBA foam provide protection over longer distances while still feeling responsive.

No. They use a nylon SpeedVault plate, which offers propulsion with a more forgiving feel than a carbon plate.
Are they suitable for everyday training?
Yes. They are designed for fast training, workouts, and longer efforts. For very easy recovery runs, some runners may prefer a softer non plated shoe.
