What is the Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide and how does it work?
According to Nike’s newsroom, the Hyperslide combines a low-profile, full-length Air Zoom sole with Hyperice recovery tech inspired by Hyperice’s Venom line. Heat and vibration target the top of the foot to help reduce tension, relax feet and support everyday recovery.
The Hyperslide Pod sits in the adjustable strap and connects magnetically. Athletes can customize three heat and three vibration levels in 15-minute cycles. Forbes reports the battery lasts about one hour, depending on the setting.
Unlike the Hyperboot’s full-foot compression and heat via Normatec bladders, the Hyperslide uses a single pod worked into the strap. Hyperice’s Huether has argued that a smaller footprint can still deliver targeted relief where post-training foot fatigue accumulates.
When can you buy it and what does it cost?
Nike says the Air Zoom Hyperslide will be available beginning September 29 in select markets at nike.com, hyperice.com and select retailers worldwide. Forbes lists the price at $249.
Hyperice CEO Jim Huether told Forbes the slide is meant to replace a format athletes already wear, so recovery does not require an extra device or dedicated session. The companies expect use after workouts, during travel and around the house at the end of the day.
That positioning matters for mainstream adoption. A slide is already ubiquitous in sports settings, and packing heat and vibration into that silhouette aims to meet athletes where they already are.
Why does the Nike and Hyperice partnership matter?
The Hyperslide is the second Nike–Hyperice wearable recovery product. The Hyperboot debuted with Olympians before Paris 2024, reached retail in May 2025 and, per Fox Business, topped $10 million in revenue in its first eight months. Fox Business also notes the Hyperboot was the first shoe carried by Best Buy and won multiple innovation awards.
Dutch soccer star Virgil van Dijk and American track athlete Tara Woodhall helped inform the design. Van Dijk said the mix of Hyperice heat and vibration with Nike Air Zoom cushioning stands out for comfort and foot recovery.
Nike’s Tobie Hatfield, senior director of athlete innovation, said the goal is to kickstart recovery the moment the slide powers up. Hyperice founder Anthony Katz framed the collaboration as making premium recovery more accessible by combining Nike footwear expertise with Hyperice technology.
