What an athlete wears between workouts, games and other strenuous activities can be just as important as what they wear during; the Nike Pro Combat Recovery HyperTight is exactly what both professional and amateur athletes can benefit from. It is a sophisticated pair of compression leggings that puts the right amount of pressure along the leg to keep swelling in the muscles down.
Designed through Nike Sport Research Lab and its work with coaches, physiologists and athletes including LeBron James, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Jon Jones, Matt Kemp and Colin Kaepernick, the Nike Pro Combat Recovery HyperTight boasts a Graduated Compression system that is tighter at the ankles and looser as the thigh. Available online and at limited retail stores at the beginning of February, the tights will benefit rehabilitation greatly for athletes.
