Percentage of recycled content
This metric refers to the percentage of material by weight that has been recycled from post- or pre-consumer sources.
Number of plastic bottles
Our roadmap to use recycled raw materials initially focuses on post-consumer sources, such as plastic bottles.
With help from our suppliers, we calculate the number of plastic bottles used to make a size medium of each product.
Climate action
We are using sound science to address climate change and align our efforts across every level of our business to reduce carbon emissions. This includes product designs, materialization, manufacturing, and our global supply chain.
As we create new gear and run our global business, we also want to minimize our impact on the planet — so we are limiting our reliance on non-renewable resources by using more sustainable materials and reducing waste.
An ethical global supply chain starts with factories and suppliers who share our values and our commitments to respect human rights, advance worker well-being and ensure sustainable manufacturing.
I tried these on and walked in the house for a minute. They are not true to size. I ordered a 13 and they were so tight they hurt. I returned them.

Great shoe
Great shoe. Able to handle easy runs, recovery runs as well as pick up the pace in them. They are a little more stiff than I wanted, but still a very good shoe. Fit was true to size. Would recommend to runners of all levels.

Hyperion Max 3 Review
Did my first run in these today in light rain. It was faster paced threshold run zone 4. Shoes worked out great and highly recommend them.
These shoes felt comfortable at speed and fit very well. I would say traction is good and a great shoe for interval training and higher paced runs at least for me.
They feel awkward at slower pace or just starting out the run working up. For my slower paced recovery and distance runs I will use the Glycerin 22s.
For my 5k/10k shoes the Hyperion Elite 5.
Overall great to have in a rotation for what your training for.

Hyperion Max 3 my favorite new runningshoe
As a very heavy beginning runner I absolutely love the Hyperion Max 3. They fit true to size for me, and I loved the snug sock-like fit that gave such a great heel lockdown for me. They felt stable, protective, and well cushioned without feeling too mushy at slow paces. At faster paces the nylon plate and rocker really made it come alive. I'm a VERY slow runner but first time I ran in these I broke every PB within my 4.5 mile run. Only negative thing I can say is that although I really liked the laces, I wish they were longer to accommodate the higher volume of my feet. One last thing, maybe it's because I'm heavier runner but they did not feel heavy to me as I've heard and read in many reviews, they felt just perfect.

Ehh, prefer the Max 2
I have the Hyperion Max 1 and 2 and these were a big disappointment. I loved the firmness of #1 and the responsiveness and upper from #2. These Hyperion Max 3 totally missed the mark. They are way too cushiony, if that is a word, which causes knee pain from the instability. The upper isn't as good as #2. Please go back to the Hyperion max 2 formula. Amazing upper and a firmer bottom.

Great shoes, but not for high arches
First couple runs in this were amazing. Great bouncy and responsive runs and was a ton of fun to run in. After that the lack of medial support became very noticeable and felt like my arches were going to tear. I have high arches, so this was very disappointing because I really did love these shoes. Unfortunately they just dont work for me. If that isn't an issue for you, then I'd highly recommend these shoes.

No medial support
Have loved all the other Hyperion models but these missed the mark. They have no medial support which really put a lot of pressure on your first MTP. The cushion and stack height is just too much, I constantly feel like I’m going to sprain my ankle when running in them.

Great sole with rolling impact provides excellent cushioning and still stable will need second pair

Boston Qualified!
Love these shoes, perfect blend of comfort and speed. Comfortable to run a Marathon yet are fast enough for a Half PR or 5K. The cushion and the stack are perfect. Versatility meets function, homerun for Brooks.

1 Question
Is the GTS version of the hyperion 3 planned to release sometime later?
Milad M
Thank you for reaching out to Brooks Running! We’ve made the difficult decision to discontinue production of the Hyperion GTS, but we are happy to provide recommendations for other models that may work well for you.
While not a GTS model, the Hyperion remains a great option if you are looking to stay with a lightweight, responsive model. If you are looking to stay with the support of our GuideRails™ holistic support system, the Adrenaline GTS or Glycerin GTS are excellent options. The Adrenaline GTS will be slighter lighter than the Glycerin GTS, while the Glycerin GTS is a premium option for cushioning.
A high-stack combination of DNA FLASH v2 and 100% PEBA DNA GOLD cushioning, paired with the nylon SpeedVault plate, creates game-changing protection, propulsion, and recovery.
