The warm-up compression shoes Nike and Hyperice showed off at CES 2025 were not simply a concept. The Hyperboot will be available to buy online in North America in just a week, at a cost of $899.
The high-tops, which Nike and Hyperice say are a wearable much like your smartwatch, help your feet warm up before and recover after a workout. The footwear, available May 17, does this with heating and air-compression massage technology right there in your shoes, taking the idea of heating pads and compression socks and making them mobile.
CNET former mobile senior writer Lisa Eadicicco had a chance to try these shoes on in January. «You can definitely feel the heat in here,» Eadicicco said at the time as she walked across a demo room in Las Vegas wearing the fancy footwear.
The boots massage and compress your ankles and feet, and in CNET’s test, we could especially feel the heat around the ankles. Buttons on the shoes let you adjust compression and the amount of heat with multiple settings for each.
«The Hyperboot contains a system of dual-air bladders that deliver sequential compression patterns and are bonded to thermally efficient heating elements that evenly distribute heat throughout the shoe’s entire upper,» Nike said.
The battery lasts for 1 to 1.5 hours on max heat and compression settings, or 8 hours if you’re only using the massage setting. It takes 5 to 6 hours to charge via USB-C cable. The boots come in five sizes: S, M, L, XL and XXL.
