5 Best Running Shoe Releases of July 2025
Below we are taking a look at the five best running shoe releases for the month of July 2025. With the release of the ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo, Adidas Prime X 3 Strung, and the Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 we are getting three new top-tier running shoes. The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 got a huge update and is now a max stack long run shoe with great speed capabilities and the Puma Magnify Nitro 3 is in contention for one of the best daily trainers of 2025.
July 2025 really showed out for us shoe sickos, so we had to drop our top 5 releases of the month. From Brooks dropping two heavy hitters to ASICS and Adidas refining their premium options, and Puma dropping a daily trainer of the year contender, July has delivered some of the most exciting releases of the year so far. Whether you’re hunting for a comfort cruiser or a plated race day weapon, these 5 are worth a test drive.
1. Brooks Hyperion Max 3: The Definition of a Supwell-Certified Banger
With a dramatic increase in stack height from the previous generation (Hyperion Max 2), Brooks finally put the MAX in Hyperion Max. Delivering a bouncy, relatively fast and robust ride that harkens back to the Cielo X1 OG, the Hyperion Max is a true rotation killer.

2. Puma Magnify Nitro 3: Best Daily Trainer of the Year?
Non-plated PEBA has been missing the mark lately, but Puma has implemented it to perfection in the Magnify Nitro 3. Bouncy, versatile, smooth and not too soft, not too firm, this is a top contender for daily trainer of the year.

3. ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo: A Perfect Marathon Shoe?
This isn’t the wildest possible followup to last year’s Sky Paris, but that’s not a bad thing; featuring a unique configuration of responsive PEBA on top and bouncy ATPU on the bottom, the Sky Tokyo manages to be simultaneously fast and comfortable.

4. Adidas Prime X 3 Strung: The Ultimate Enthusiast Shoe
While it doesn’t surpass the original Prime X, the X 3 Strung is a return to form after the infamous X 2. With a ridiculous stack of supercritical TPEE, dual carbon fiber elements, and a wider forefoot for added stability, the Prime X 3 Strung is a certified mileage behemoth.

5. Brooks Hyperion Elite 5: What the Vaporfly 4 Should Have Been
The Hyperion Elite 5 is a nice consolation for runners disappointed with recent Vaporfly models. With a smooth, bouncy ZoomX-like midsole and a perfectly-dialed fit, the Hyperion Elite 5 emulates the ride experience of the Vaporfly 2 to a tee.
