The Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide is a recovery-focused footwear collaboration between Nike and Hyperice that combines heated and vibrating technology to support post-workout relaxation. Designed with removable magnetic Hyperslide Pods, the sandals offer three heat settings ranging from 109°F to 117°F and three vibration levels that can be adjusted using onboard controls or the Hyperice mobile app via Bluetooth. Built on a low-profile Nike Air Zoom sole, the slides feature a cushioned footbed and are available in black and Orewood colorways.
The rechargeable pods connect through USB-C and provide approximately one hour of battery life per charge, making them suitable for multiple recovery sessions. Eligible for purchase using FSA and HSA funds, the slides are intended to be worn after exercise to promote foot recovery through heat and vibration. The Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide launches on September 29 for $249 through Nike, Hyperice and select U.S. retailers including Best Buy and Dick's Sporting Goods.
