The Olympic Games are fast approaching and therefore the leading sports brands will be showcasing the latest innovations that are believed to improve the performance of the athletes they sponsor. The Nike Hyperice Boot was shown off this week with the ability to massage, heat and even cool the feet of athletes wearing it.
Unlike other Nike shoes, the Hyperice Boot is not worn during sports activities. Instead it is used after training or sporting events. There is a button on the heel to activate foot and ankle massage mode.
A massage on the legs after exercise can increase blood flow and this helps the body recover. The massage process can be done at hot or cold temperatures depending on the user's needs.
Why are these shoes produced? To allow athletes to begin the recovery process while still in the stadium when they do not have access to masseurs, cooling packs or heating packs. The Nike Hyperice Boot is not for sale but is only given to select athletes sponsored by them such as LeBron James.
