FAQs
Who is the Brooks Hyperion Max 3 designed for?
The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum speed and protection during long training runs and races on asphalt surfaces. It is best suited for neutral runners.
What is the main benefit of the SpeedVault plate?
The SpeedVault plate is a polyamide propulsion plate designed to enhance speed and efficiency by promoting a quicker toe-off and providing a propulsive feel during your stride.
How does the DNA FLASH v2 cushioning work?
DNA FLASH v2 is a nitrogen-infused cushioning technology that provides a responsive and lightweight feel. It is designed to absorb impact effectively while returning energy for a more dynamic run.
What is the recommended surface for these shoes?
These shoes are optimized for asphalt and hard, even surfaces like roads and tracks. They are not recommended for trail running.
What is the drop of the Hyperion Max 3?
The shoe has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which encourages a more natural foot strike while still providing some heel protection.
How do I clean my Brooks Hyperion Max 3 trainers?
Clean them using a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who overpronate?
No, the Hyperion Max 3 is a neutral shoe and is not designed for runners who overpronate. If you require stability features, you should look for a different model.
What is the weight of the Brooks Hyperion Max 3?
The weight of the Brooks Hyperion Max 3 is approximately 280.7 grams for a men's size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points. Consider using thinner socks. If the issue persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The DNA FLASH v2 cushioning may naturally decrease over many miles. Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that could affect performance. Consider replacing the shoes if they have exceeded their recommended mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Lack of stability or support
These are neutral shoes and do not offer pronation control. If you require stability features, these may not be the appropriate model for your gait.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for asphalt. While it offers good grip, performance on wet surfaces can vary. Proceed with caution on wet pavement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Hyperion Max 3 trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or prolonged damp conditions.
- Rotation: For optimal performance and to extend the life of your shoes, consider rotating them with another pair of running shoes, especially if you run frequently.
