Name: Hyperice x Nike Hyperboot
MSRP: $899 USD
Release Date: May 17
Where to Buy: Nike and Hyperice
Update: Hyperice and Nike have announced a release date and pricing information for the long-awaited Hyperboot. Designed with both mobile warm-ups and “active recovery” in mind, the Hyperboot offers both heat and compression massage, the latter of which arrives via Hyperice’s Normatec air bladder technology. Together, the heat and compression loosen muscles and tissues in the foot and ankle, enabling athletes to be looser and more limber both before and after athletic activity. The boots offer three levels of heat and compression, all controlled via simple buttons on their medial heel, and can either be synced or apply individual levels to each foot.
“I was fortunate to be one of the first athletes to test the Hyperboot, and I can honestly
say that I was immediately impressed,” said Nike and Hyperice athlete Sha’Carri Richardson. “I felt the difference right away — especially the impact on my training. While wearing the Hyperboot, I can start warming up and recovering while still being mobile. This is a huge benefit while traveling and being on the go. As a sprinter, every millisecond matters, so having my feet and ankles already activated truly helps me prepare to perform at my best.”
Expect the Hyperice x Nike Hyperboot to release on May 17 via Nike, Hyperice and select retailers. It’s priced at $899 USD.
Original Story: Athletic apparel, performance and recovery all fall under the greater sports umbrella. So it makes sense that leaders Nike and Hyperice have teamed up for a wearable technology collaboration – fusing their affinities for improved sports performance.
Without question, Nike has been known for its success in apparel and footwear, while Hyperice is toted as a leader in recovery tech with its signature Normatec Elite leg recovery systems and more. By putting their heads together, the collaboration introduces the Nike x Hyperice boot and Nike x Hyperice vest.
Leading the charge is the boot, which provides heat and air compression on the feet and ankles – seeing Hyperice’s dual-air Normatec bladers technology. On its heels is the vest, which boasts heating and cooling capabilities without ice. Additionally, the vest helps players regulate their body temperatures during warmups and cooldowns for peak performance.
“Recovery is an important part of any athlete’s journey, but we’re hearing from athletes that this concept of ‘pre-covery’ is equally as important,” says Tobie Hatfield, Senior Director, Nike Athlete Innovation. “The footwear and vest that we’ve developed with Hyperice help get the body ready for activity, whether you’re playing for a title or you’re on your feet a lot at work.”
Take a look at the new collaboration in the gallery above.
