New Nike shoes include compression and heat for post-workout recovery – video

The Nike x Hyperice shoes incorporate compression and heat for post-workout recovery, and were worn by athletes during the 2024 Olympics.

Have you ever wanted to recover from a workout just like an Olympic athlete? This is exactly what this shoe claims to do. This is the Nike Time Piper Rice Shoe, a recovery shoe that you’re supposed to wear after a hard workout to aid recovery. So there are 3 layers of heat and 3 layers of compression built into the shoe. So Nike and Hyper Race actually tested this with Olympians at the Paris Olympics last year, and they’re working on a consumer version, although we don’t know when it will be released. Or how much it would cost, but the idea behind the shoe is to make it so that you can recover while you’re actually moving around, so you don’t have to sit and rest with a heat pack or a compression sock or something like that. Which. The idea is that you can wear shoes that will help you recover as you go about your daily life. So, there are a few buttons on the shoe that allow you to actually control the pressure and heat features, which I’m going to try now. There are some Velcro straps to undo. I should also mention the sizes of this type of range due to compression. So instead of coming in one size, it’ll probably be in a range of sizes like men’s sizes 10-12 or something like that rather than being one size. Now the shoe is ready. Okay, so first, I’m going to start pressing, so I’m going to turn it on. So far it feels like it’s vibrating, almost like some kind of massage. I’m starting to feel the pressure now. It just got a little tighter. I can definitely see how this would feel nice after a long run or if your feet are really hurting. So now I’m going to turn on the heating as well, and turn it on to the lowest heat level. Now I’m going to try walking in this because that’s what it’s really about, so you can be mobile while you’re recovering from your workout. It is comfortable to walk around. It feels kind of soft. You can definitely feel the heat, especially around my ankles and here. This is where I feel a lot of heat therapy here. But it’s definitely comfortable, it has plenty of space. So after wearing the Nike Time Hyperized for just a few minutes, I can definitely feel the heating and compression features. It’s very noticeable, but it’s really hard to know how effective it is and how useful it is without spending more time with it and without wearing it afterwards. For an actual long, hard workout, but this is actually part of a growing category of wearables aimed at recovery and injury prevention and not just helping you monitor your performance. Once again, this is the Nikex Hyperrise here at CES. Thanks for watching or I’ll see you next time.
