Nike Hyperboot - Your Feet Will Thank You...

So I'm excited for this one

This is the new Hyper Boot from Nike. And ever since I saw this, I wanted to try it

So thank you to Nike for sending it over. This is one of the most futuristic sneakers you're going to see

And it's really more than a sneaker. It's not meant for style. I mean, if you're looking for some kind of futuristic style, this achieves that

But this is actually for recovery for athletes and for warming up

It's a collaboration between Nike and Normatec. And if you guys haven't heard of Normatec, they're those guys that make those compression leg contraptions

Essentially, athletes that want to recover from exercise and various activities. This is like increasing the circulation, helping with fatigue

And in this case, also helping people warm up. And this is a wearable version, completely wireless

You're not tethered to the wall. That's built into a sneaker that's going to give your foot and ankle compression and heat

either to be used in recovery or in warmup. Innovation that pushes the boundary for athletes

Revolutionary technology featuring Norma Tech, dynamic air compression, hyperheat thermal technology, collaboration between Nike and Hyperice

The sizing is kind of interesting. So this is a large, which is supposed to satisfy sizes 10 to 12

You're kind of just in the range. And I guess considering the fact that it's sort of more of a tech product

you're not actually going to be performing or playing your game in this footwear

But instead you might use it for your warmup. And then obviously after you're done playing

And this, wow, this thing looks crazy. That is wild. So it's obviously massive

but it kind of has to be in order to fit this variety of components in here

On the boot itself, and they do call it a boot, it's the hyper boot. You have a power button

I'm gonna guess this is for the amount of compression. And here we have our temperature

This is gonna be coverage for your USB port to actually charge it up

So most of the electronics are going to be housed in the heel portion here

I think it squeezes all up and down the kind of heel and Achilles section of your foot

And there's also compression on the top of the foot as well. And the other thing is, depending on what type of issues you have, you can apparently sync them or have them work independently

So you could have more compression on one side than the other, depending on what you're trying to recover from

I can imagine people that have experienced injuries as well utilizing this to keep circulation moving

in their feet and ankles in an attempt to get mobility back after an injury The only other thing you gonna find in the package is this box which I presume is to charge these And they do give you the international adapters

and that's important. Apparently, people at the Paris Olympics were using these

So Nike was actually giving them to athletes and they were using them for warmup and recovery

Two USB cables, obviously you charge each one independently and the charger itself has two separate outputs

At the same time, there's also a, excuse me. Black mirror. It's a placeholder

That's crazy. This white booklet has just broke my head. I'm never coming back to reality

Okay, so let's go ahead and peel some of this plastic here. This is all protected along the side

I do own some Hyperice products. Massage gun, I have the NormaTek for the legs

I've tried all these products. I mean, I'm obviously not a professional athlete, but I do play sports recreationally

And yeah, man, you get like sore aches, things like that. You wanna recover

The warmup is kind of interesting too. Like, could it make you maybe less prone to injury

Could it give you better feedback? More explosiveness, possibly. I just think the merging of technology and athletics

and to just see Nike partner with like a new company like this

or newer compared to Nike, I think it's just like a pretty cool collaboration

So anyway, let's see if these have power. Oh, they do. I'm gonna turn that off

That one does and that one does. This is gonna be cool

Okay, so the way that these go on, Velcro straps, these two, they're adjustable

Get ready to move and move again. So one of the reasons they put it into a shoe

like obviously if you have those leg sleeves, you're connected and you're laying down

and you can't go about your activities. So it can be like a bit of a commitment to put those things on for recovery

This, since it's in the format of a shoe, even though you're maybe not gonna actually do your activity in it

it still keeps you somewhat mobile. So you can move about your house

Thank you to NordVPN for sponsoring this show. That is a very weird feeling on there

Obviously, it's a giant rocker. It's a huge shoe. We could definitely go ahead and just call it a boot

It is in boot territory, certainly. So you can really customize the fit just using the straps

the internal strap and the external strap. And I guess I'm assuming that the tighter you strap them

the greater the feeling of compression, even along with those different compression levels

So let's go ahead and turn it on. Start compressing right away. So they're synced up

So if I change the heat setting on one side, then it changes it on the other side as well

Whoa, okay. Significant compression going on. The air bladders inside are filling and then releasing

This is very similar to the sleeves that you put on your legs. And it is a significant amount of compression

It holds, release. And so the idea here is that we're refreshing, replenishing, circulating the blood here

Every athletic activity requires some sort of ankle mobility and movement. Like what doesn't

I feel even though they're so futuristic and people are going to be looking, right

But even just at home, to get into the leg units is a little bit of an ordeal

And I get it, the leg units are compressing a lot more

of your body than these are, but this is kind of a cool medium where

like I can walk around. I can have this therapy going on right now and I still doing chores and things around the house and yet at the end of the day it a shoe so the sport i play is hockey and in hockey you have a

boot but your feet get sore obviously because it's really rigid like there's been no way to do this

in the past if you wanted to have basically a massage going on with heat you couldn't actually

be walking around at the same time while that was going on they are hot right now oh baby you know

I get a lot of products like it's hit and miss. You never know like, but these

this is right up my alley. I'm into this. They might be a little ambitious to wear

just wear in public. People think I'm trying to make a style statement, you know, I just feel like I'm recovering. If anyone actually asks me, but I think people are just

going to look sideways at me. The other thing about this compression is you could also, you can

benefit from elevation too. You can elevate your feet obviously, just like this. There we go. The

The heat is right on the heel, right on the heel, right at the Achilles insertion point

Good Lord. My Achilles is burning right now. The Hyperboot is designed for 15 minute sessions

Can be used for up to 1.5 hours on max heat and max compression

But the typical session is set to 15 minutes, whether it's being used for warm up or recovery purposes

Oh, I should also mention at this point that these are expensive. They're like $900

So just putting that out there. This is just a recovery device that you can wear and a collaboration with Nike, which is cool and unusual

And dare I say collectible almost. Let's just check. What is this going for right now on StockX

Let's look. Well, I guess that's not that much of a markup because it was $900 US and the last sale was $1,354 CAD

Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm feeling I'm definitely feeling loose. Yeah, I can see that easily for a warm up

Ready to go. Responsive. I like these things. I mean, that's just a preliminary

This is my first test with them. They are crazy. I like crazy things, weird and innovative attempts and experimental things

But it's a cool collaboration and they look extremely futuristic, which I think some people would actually go for

but it's secondary it's really about the functionality and the fact that you have

something that's completely battery powered so it's it means it's completely mobile you can move

around and have this experience at the same time and that's pretty cool
