Nike and Hyperice have built an innovative recovery slide that heats and vibrates.

Nike unveiled the Air Zoom Hyperslide on July 27, 2026. It is the second footwear collaboration between Nike and Hyperice, following the Hyperboot, a recovery boot launched in 2025 for $899.

The Hyperslide carries over the same idea, pairing Nike cushioning with Hyperice recovery hardware, but does it in a slide that costs far less and fits more easily into daily life. And athletes are gonna love it.

  • Price: $249
  • Availability: September 29, 2026

How it works

At the center of this slide is a removable, magnetic Hyperslide Pod built into the adjustable strap across the top of the foot. This pod provides heat and vibration to help soothe tired feet, while a full-length Nike Air Zoom sole sits underneath for cushioning. Nike says the shoe’s heat and vibration technology comes from Hyperice’s Venom recovery products.

The Air Zoom unit inside the Hyperslide is also tuned differently than the ones in Nike’s performance shoes. Regular Nike Air Zoom units use 12 to 20 PSI and are designed to give you extra energy while walking or running. The Air Zoom unit in the Hyperslide uses only about 5 PSI, making it much softer and more comfortable. This also helps the slide transfer heat and vibration to your feet for better recovery instead of focusing on performance.

Key specs:

  • 3 Heat levels reaching 109°F, 113°F, and 117°F (up to 47°C)
  • 3 Vibration levels (50, 75, and 100 Hz)
  • Session length: 15-minute recovery cycles
  • Controls: On-pod buttons or the Hyperice app over Bluetooth
  • Colors: Black and beige (Orewood)

The Hyperslide will be available at nike.com, hyperice.com, and some selected retailers worldwide. In the United States, you will be able to buy it from Best Buy and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Hyperice says the slide qualifies as an FSA- or HSA-eligible purchase, since it is marketed as a recovery product rather than standard footwear.

Why Nike and Hyperice built it

Nike frames the Hyperslide around convenience. Tobie Hatfield, Nike’s Senior Director of Athlete Innovation, said the goal was a recovery approach that could “meet them at the same level” as competition itself, starting the moment the slide is switched on.

Hyperice founder Anthony Katz said the aim was to help people “recover smarter with every step,” by combining Nike’s footwear expertise with Hyperice’s recovery technology at a lower price point than the Hyperboot.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who worked with both brands on the product, said: “It’s the combination that stands out.” He added that the heat and vibration help his feet recover quickly, while the Air Zoom cushioning keeps the slide comfortable to wear.

Hyperice CEO Jim Huether has described the Hyperslide as part of a broader shift, one where footwear and apparel double as connected recovery devices athletes can wear throughout the day rather than only after a workout.

It is worth noting that the recovery benefits described by Nike and Hyperice are company claims, not findings from independent clinical studies. Nike does not present the Hyperslide as treatment for any injury or medical condition, so it is best understood as a comfort and recovery aid rather than a medical device.
