Nike introduced the Hyperice Boot, which is a sporty silhouette which is designed to optimize recovery and enhance the entire process seamlessly. The shoe boasts a high-top silhouette and is integrated with a system of the brand's dual-air Normatec bladders that inflate and deflate to create the feeling of a massage.
The dynamic compression is meant to improve circulation and minimize soreness by better blood flow -- all of these are elements that are great for performance and recovery processes. In addition to the massage aspect, there are heated factors that are worked into the system with the compression to warm the muscles before working out. This aids overall flexibility to create a better range of motion.
