Nike and Hyperice join forces on flip-flops with heating and vibration
Nike and Hyperice, known for their sports technologies, innovate once again by launching an item that combines well-being and footwear. The new Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide is a slipper designed to warm and vibrate feet, promoting revitalization rather than just being a fashion accessory. Its main functionality is to aid recovery after exercise, long trips or prolonged periods of standing.
Understand how the Nike Air Zoom Hyperslide works
Essentially, the shoe was created with a focus on recovery. Nike guarantees comfort with its Air Zoom cushioning system, while Hyperice integrates a special capsule into the top strap. This capsule is responsible for emitting heat and gentle vibrations, acting directly on the top of the foot.
The accessory is ideal for relaxing contracted muscles and relieving discomfort after intense training or tiring journeys. This is the second joint project by the two companies, following Hyperboot launched the previous year, which highlights the priority of these brands in recovery as an essential pillar of the daily routine and the growing demand for well-being solutions integrated into consumers’ daily lives.

Details about the heat and vibration system
The heating and vibration mechanism is a removable, magnetic device. It offers three heat levels, reaching a maximum temperature of 47 degrees Celsius, and three different vibration intensities. Each usage cycle lasts 15 minutes and can be controlled directly by the device or more precisely through the Hyperice app.
