Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 78.6 / 100 — « The Brooks Hyperion 3 is a huge update that, in our view, pushes the series in a fresh yet divisive direction. We found in the lab that its once-flexible, low-to-the-ground ride is gone, and the big weight jump is very disappointing. Still, we were impressed by the excellent upper, and the softer midsole is a welcome change. Ultimately, this update is very love-it-or-leave-it, and our testing will help you decide where you stand right away. »
  • RoadTrailRun : 76.4 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Brooks Hyperion 3 handles pace changes effortlessly thanks to a locked-in midfoot wrap and 244 g build. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • Believe in the Run : 75.6 / 100 — « In Brooks's daily trainer lineup, the Hyperion 3 delivers an engaging, lively ride powered by its DNA Flash v2 bounce (244 g). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
