Hyperice Partners with Nike to Launch Collection for Enhanced Athletic Performance

Hyperice, one of the world's leading innovative companies that produce goods for workouts, muscle warm-up, and body recovery, has teamed up with Nike to create a special collection targeted at improving sports performance. Nike is an expert in the production of sportswear and footwear, while Hyperice is a leader in recovery technology.

The footwear features a system of dual Normatec air chambers connected to warming elements that evenly distribute heat across the upper. This combination is designed to direct heat deep into the muscles and tissues of the foot and ankle joint, helping athletes move, perform, and recover naturally much faster.
Athletes can synchronize the heating and compression of both sneakers at the push of a button or choose to operate the left and right sneakers separately, selecting one of three different levels of compression and heating, powered by a rechargeable battery in the insole of each shoe.

The Nike x Hyperice vest allows athletes to focus on one variable of performance that they historically could not control: the environment. Utilizing similar technology employed in the Hyperice X contrast device line, the vest uses thermoelectric coolers that provide instant heating and cooling without the need for ice or liquid, helping athletes precisely regulate their body temperature during warm-up and cool-down.

The vest contains thermal modules whose sensors autonomously control and maintain body temperature. Meanwhile, an air chamber and pressure sensor inside the vest adjust to the body, pressing the thermal modules inward, increasing comfort while simultaneously maximizing the efficiency of the heating and cooling technology.
Taking care of my body has always been an important part of my preparation as a basketball player. It is this commitment that allows me to maintain a high level of play for over 21 years," says legendary Nike athlete LeBron James. "From the moment I tried the Nike x Hyperice shoes and vest when they were still in development over a year ago, I knew they would change the game for athletes' warm-up and recovery."
