Nike and Hyperice launch Hyperboot shoe for faster athletic recovery
Nike has collaborated with Hyperice to launch the Hyperboot shoe for faster athletic recovery. The shoe leverages Hyperice's Normatec and Hyperheat technologies to increase blood flow and tissue oxygenation.
Hyperice was founded over a decade ago to develop technologies to help people move better. Normatec uses pulsing dynamic air compression to increase blood flow, resulting in reduced muscle soreness and better post-workout recovery. Hyperheat speeds warm-ups and aids recovery of feet and ankles. The Hyperboot uses dual-air bladders bonded to heating elements in the shoe to help athletes warm-up, perform, and recover faster.
The Hyperboot is controlled by buttons on the heel of the shoe or the Hyperice app on a smartphone. The heat and compression can be adjusted among three levels.
- HEAT
- Level 1 - 111 °F (44 °C)
- Level 2 - 118 °F (48 °C)
- Level 3 - 125 °F (52 °C)
- COMPRESSION
- Level 1 - 50 mmHg
- Level 2 - 130 mmHg
- Level 3 - 210 mmHg
The built-in battery can power the shoe for 1 to 1.5 hours at the maximum heating and compression settings.
Sales of the $899 Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot will begin May 17 in North America at the companies' websites and select retailers. Athletes who want faster recovery and better performance can try one of Hyperice's other products sold on Amazon.
