The future doesn't wait. It laces up and starts warming you up.

When you hear the word “technology,” you probably think of smartphones, cars, maybe drones or smartwatches. But sneakers that massage and warm up your feet? Welcome to the future, where warm-up begins not with jumping jacks, but the moment you put on your shoes. Meet Nike Hyperboot, developed in collaboration with Hyperice.

These aren’t just sneakers. They’re your personal trainer, massage therapist, and heat therapist, all rolled into one futuristic package.

What is the Hyperboot?

The Hyperboot is a high-top sneaker packed with built-in compression and heating technology. Yes, you read that right — it actually warms up and activates your muscles, prepping your feet and ankles for movement before you even hit the gym. Thanks to dual air chambers and heating elements, warmth is distributed evenly across the upper part of the shoe.

You get:

• Three heat levels: 44°C, 48°C, and 52°C

• Three compression settings: 50, 130, and 210 mmHg

• Up to 1.5 hours of battery life

• Control via mobile app or manual buttons on the shoe

Who is it for?

If you:

• Train consistently

• Run long distances

• Do CrossFit

• Spend long days on your feet

• Or just want to experience what it’s like to have your sneakers take care of you

Then the Hyperboot is built for you.

Pro athletes like Sha’Carri Richardson have already tested them and say they revolutionized the way they warm up — not just physically, but mentally too.

Pre-covery: A New Word for Peak Performance

Nike calls this concept pre-covery — not just recovery after a workout, but preparing your body before it even begins.

It’s a game-changer.
No more wasting 15 minutes trying to “get into it.”
You’re ready the moment you step out the door.

And it’s not just your muscles — it’s your mindset. Your body is primed, and your focus follows.

And the price?

The Hyperboot retails for $899. That’s not exactly pocket change. But if you treat your body like a precision instrument, it’s not an expense — it’s an investment in performance.

Weight and Aesthetic

They weigh in at 1.7 kg per pair, and you’ll feel it — not as a burden, but as reliability. Like you’re strapping on gear designed for superheroes.

Visually? Bold, futuristic, powerful. Think Iron Man meets elite athlete.

Just the Beginning

According to Anthony Katz, founder of Hyperice, the Hyperboot is just the start. This is the first step toward a new era of smart sportswear that will actively work with you, not just on you.

Final Thoughts

Hyperboot isn’t about hype. It’s a revolution.
A shift from "I'll loosen up in 20 minutes" to "I’m already warmed up."
It’s not laziness — it’s optimization. It’s using tech to elevate your body, not drain it.

So if you still think sneakers are just soles and laces…
It’s time to update your firmware.

Hyperboot — because your warm-up should start before your workout does.
