The new Nike boots include compression and warmth for post-workout recovery
The Nike x Hyperice boots feature compression and warmth for post-workout recovery and were worn by athletes during the 2024 Olympics.
Have you ever wanted to recover from training just like an Olympic athlete? That's exactly what this shoe claims. This is the Nike Time Piper Rice Shoe and it's a recovery shoe that you should wear after a hard workout to help with recovery. So there are 3 layers of warmth and 3 layers of compression built into the shoe. So Nike and Hyperrise actually tested this with Olympic athletes at the Paris Olympics last year, and they're working on a consumer version, although we don't know when that will come out. Or how much it's going to cost, but the idea behind the shoe is to make it so that you can recover while you're actually mobile, so you don't have to sit and rest with a heat pack or a compression sock or something. that. The idea is that you can wear shoes that help you recover while you go about your daily life. So there are a couple of buttons on the shoe that allow you to actually control the compression and warmth functions, and I'm going to try that right now. There are some velcro straps to undo. I should also mention the sizes for this kind of scope because of the compression. So instead of coming in one size, it will likely be in a range of sizes like maybe a men's 10 to 12 or something like that instead of being one size. So now the shoe is on. Okay, first, I'm going to start with compression, then I'm going to turn it on. So far it feels like vibrating, um, almost like a massage. Now I'm starting to feel the compression. It becomes like a little more solid. I could definitely see how this would feel nice after a long run or if your feet are really sore. So now I'm going to turn on the heat, I'm going to turn on the lowest heat. So now I'm going to try to go into this, because that's really what this is for, so you can be mobile while you're recovering from your workout. It is comfortable to walk around inside. It feels kind of soft. You could definitely feel the heat, especially around my ankles and up here. That's where I really feel a lot of heat therapy here. But it is, it is certainly comfortable, a lot of space. So after wearing the Nike Time hyperized shoes for just a few minutes, I can definitely feel the heating and compression features. They are very noticeable, but it's really hard to tell how effective and useful this is without spending more time with it and wearing it afterward. For a really long hard workout, but this is really part of a growing class of wearables that are aimed at recovery and injury prevention, not just helping you track your performance. So, once again, this is the Nikex Hyperrise shoe here at CES. Thanks for watching or see you next time.
