Brooks just rolled out a deal on its high-performance Hyperion Max 3 running shoe before it retires the sneaker for good.
The deal
Brooks’ Hyperion Max 3 running shoe is now on sale for $150, instead of $200, for a savings of $50 off.
This 25% discount on the Hyperion Max 3 comes as Brooks gets ready to retire the sneaker following the July release of the new Hyperion Max 4 shoe ($200). This is a huge opportunity to snag one of Brooks’ Hyperion styles at a major discount.
Brooks’ Hyperion Max 3 vs. Hyperion Max 4
Brooks’ Hyperion Max 3 is a solid investment with its ultra-dynamic cushion. This running shoe will propel you forward as it’s engineered to be quick, bouncy and comfortable.
It’s stacked with a maximum amount of cushioning, using Brooks’ DNA Flash and DNA Gold foams. It’s also equipped with a nylon Speedvault plate that provides fast propulsion, protection against impacts, and recovery after runs and workouts.
However, the Hyperion Max 4 has a few upgrades that might sway you to pick this shoe up instead. New to Brooks’ Hyperion Max 4 running shoe is a redesigned upper that locks your foot in place for added stability. It’s also more breathable and lighter in weight, but still as fast as ever.
It can’t be emphasized enough that the Hyperion Max 3 is a superstar in the Brooks sneaker family. It’s fast, designed for movement and ready to go when you are. This is why I think this is a great chance to snag this high-energy shoe at a huge discount despite the launch of the Hyperion Max 4, unless you’re looking to take your runs to the next level.
What is Brooks Hyperion Max 3 good for?
Brooks Hyperion Max 3 is designed for more than just running. This ultra-fast sneaker is ideal for workouts and training because it has a recovery feature. It’s also lightweight and supportive so it can handle quick movements and side-to-side transitions with ease.
Can I run a marathon in Brooks Hyperion Max 3?
Yes, you can wear Brooks’ Hyperion Max 3 shoe to run a marathon, but it might not be the ideal shoe to wear. It does offer support, a fast ride and plenty of cushioning, but you might find Brooks’ Hyperion Elite 6 running shoe ($275) is a better fit for those competitive races due to its enhanced cushioning technology.
Is the Hyperion Max 3 a super shoe?
No, the Brooks Hyperion Max 3 is not considered a super shoe. While at first glance you might consider the sneaker a super shoe, it’s really billed as a super trainer you can wear for workouts and runs.
The Hyperion Max 3 does have some race engineering built in, but its stacked cushioning offers a springy fit to the shoe that’s crafted for durability. It also is heavier than you would typically see in a race shoe like this Brooks’ Draft XC style ($65).
