Recovery is vital for any athlete to succeed in their career, but Nike and Hyperice have created yet another new shoe item designed to help those hard-working athletes recover from the ground up.
This time, it has a slip-on slide.
The Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide was unveiled on Monday as the latest innovation developed in partnership with Hyperice, a health technology company that designs products specifically aimed at recovery.

Combining Nike footwear technology with Hyperice recovery technology, and building on the foundation of the award-winning Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot, this slide is designed to be worn no matter the time of day, but with recovery in mind.
How can a slide actually help an athlete recover just by wearing it? The magnetic Hyperslide Pod mounted inside the adjustable slide belt delivers three temperatures and three vibration levels that run through 15-minute cycles. This gives athletes the ability to seamlessly customize how they want to experience the slide detection features by using the controls on the pod, or using the Hyperice App.

And whether it's before or after competitions, training or regular life sessions, the slide is a low-profile, full-length Air Zoom for soft, responsive comfort with Hyperice's directional heat and vibration inside.
“Athletes leave everything on the field, and the recovery process needs to meet them at the same level,” Tobi Hatfield, senior director of athlete innovation at Nike, said in a statement. “With the Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide, we wanted to create a solution that will initiate recovery as soon as you activate it – helping athletes feel more relaxed, restored and ready to take their performance to the next level.”
Nike and Hyperice have received feedback on the product from a variety of athletes, elite and everyday players, including Netherlands and Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk.

“It's a striking combination,” he said in a press release. “Hyperice heat and vibration help my feet recover as quickly as possible, while Nike Air Zoom cushioning makes them incredibly comfortable.”
It also helps that Nike and Hyperice understand what athletes need to recover and how they can use their technology to make it happen after the feedback from Hyperboot. That product was tested with Nike Olympians at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, and went on to exceed $10 million in revenue in its first eight months.
It was the first shoe ever to be carried by Best Buy, and it won multiple awards for innovation.
The Air Zoom Hyperslide reflects both companies' belief that performance doesn't stop where competition or training stops. Athletes are always looking for an edge in competition, and recovery has seen significant improvements to ensure a fresh mind and body the next day, no matter what's on the docket.
