Nike and Hyperice have launched a revolutionary new product that blends cutting-edge technology with athletic recovery: the Hyperboot. Designed to change the way athletes and fitness enthusiasts recover, this innovative sneaker meets massager promises to take foot recovery to the next level.
The Hyperboot, a collaboration between the two powerhouse brands, integrates dynamic air compression and heat therapy to help speed up recovery. Originally teased during the 2024 Summer Olympics, the product was born from a conversation in 2022 between Hyperice Founder Anthony Katz and Nike’s Tobie Hatfield, aiming to create a fully wearable recovery solution inspired by the late Kobe Bryant. Now, after years of development, the Hyperboot is finally here.
The Hyperboot is sleek, futuristic, and undeniably cool—though with a hefty price tag of $899. While it’s expected to be a must-have for elite athletes and recovery enthusiasts, its high cost may keep it as a status symbol for the time being, much like the Apple Vision Pro in the tech world. To truly make it mainstream, Nike and Hyperice will likely need to offer a more affordable version in the future.
Key features of the Hyperboot include adjustable air compression, which inflates in patterns to massage the feet, and targeted heating that reaches up to 125°F. Controlled through onboard buttons or the Hyperice app, the boots offer three levels of compression and heat. The battery lasts 1 to 1.5 hours when both features are in use and up to eight hours on massage mode alone. Charging takes about five to six hours via USB-C, and the boots weigh 3.5 pounds, though they remain comfortable when worn.
Pre-orders for the Hyperboot opened on April 17, with an official launch scheduled for May 17 at select retailers.
