“When using before a warm-up for a fartlek [a hilariously-named training session] or hill session, they make my legs feel light during the workout. I also use them post-run as a key part of recovery for my muscles.”

Lionel Messi brands Michael Jordan the GOAT, settles debate with LeBron James
According to Lionel Messi, Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time ahead of LeBron James.
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.
