Meanwhile, explaining in a press release, Nike noted that the shoe contains a system of dual-air Normatec bladders bonded to warming elements that evenly distribute heat throughout the entire upper.
“This combination is designed to drive heat deep into the muscle and tissue in the foot and ankle, helping athletes move, perform, and recover naturally much faster,” the press statement read.
“To that end, athlete testers report that their feet and ankles feel freer and lighter — as if they’ve already completed their warm-up before actually starting their usual routine.”
The trainers have no confirmed release date yet but Nike and Hyperice are trying out the shoes with athletes and will use the feedback to continue their development before releasing them to the public.
