Brooks Hyperion Max 3
The Hyperion Max 3 is Brooks's super-trainer: a higher stack of DNA Flash v2 with the SpeedVault plate and a rapid-roll rocker. It bridges the gap between daily trainer and race shoe, handling tempos, long workouts, and even race day for runners who don't want a full carbon racer.
