Nike’s latest slide offers a spa-like experience for your feet.

      Nike and Hyperice have developed a slide that genuinely warms up and vibrates your feet back to life.

      Nike has once again partnered with Hyperice, creating something that resembles a wellness gadget more than a footwear product. Introducing the Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide, a slide that not only provides cushioning for your feet but also heats and vibrates them back to life. It is designed more for recovery after training, travel, or a long day on your feet than for relaxing by the pool.

      What is the Nike Hyperslide?

      Essentially, this is a recovery slide. Nike focuses on comfort with its low-profile Air Zoom cushioning, while a Hyperice pod integrated into the strap facilitates recovery. This pod warms and gently vibrates the top of your foot.

      It helps to release tight muscles and alleviate soreness after intense workouts or long days on your feet. It is the second product to result from the collaboration between Nike and Hyperice, following last year’s Hyperboot, emphasizing both brands’ commitment to incorporating recovery into daily life.

      How does the heat and vibration work?

      The pod is removable and magnetic, offering three heat settings that can reach up to 117°F, along with three levels of vibration. Each session lasts a compact 15 minutes, and you can manage everything via the pod itself or through the Hyperice app for added control.

      “Athletes leave everything on the field, and the recovery approach needs to match that level,” stated Tobie Hatfield, Nike’s Senior Director of Athlete Innovation. He noted that the slide is designed to initiate recovery the moment it is activated.

      Nike athlete Virgil van Dijk conveyed a similar perspective, highlighting that the synergy of Hyperice’s heat and vibration combined with Nike’s cushioning makes his feet feel rejuvenated and ready to perform again.

      When can you get one?

      The Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide will be available on September 29 at nike.com, hyperice.com, and selected retailers globally. If your feet are yearning for relief, this might be the perfect opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
