When you thought technology couldn’t evolve overnight, Nike proved you wrong with an unprecedented breakthrough. Now, athletes can bend their body temperature at their will. Sounds crazy, right? But rest assured, it has LeBron James and A’ja Wilson’s stamp of approval.

Everyone knows that the Lakers’ talisman is a fitness junkie. Look for him in the early morning, he might be in the gym, look for him in the afternoon, someone might find him in the gym, look for him in the evening, and yes, you guessed it right, he might again be in the gym. His utmost care of his fitness helped him prolong his career and Nike’s latest tech-enriched boots can make sure Bron stays around.

Nike recently launched their new recovery boots in collaboration with Hyperice. The air compression tech of the shoes ensures the athletes get their feet massaged following rigorous training. They’ve also launched a vest with it that helps the athletes control body temperature. The revolutionary innovation now will allow athletes to move freely while recovering.

The previous boots using the same technology were only suitable for stationary use. With a sole attached to the 3 layered shoe, users can now move without restriction while receiving massage therapy.

The buttons attached to the midsole area control three levels of heat distribution and provide the option to choose between running or walking mode. LeBron James already gave a sneak peek of the boot in one of his Instagram stories last month. “Just got home from training and slipped my (feet emojis) right into these babies,” LeBron wrote in the caption.

“From the moment I tried the Nike x Hyperice boots and vest while they were still in his development more than a year ago, I knew they were going to change the game for athletes’ warm-up and recovery,” the 4-time NBA Champion said, as per Dezeen.

WNBA star A’ja Wilson was also a part of the testing process throughout the year. The products will undergo further testing at the USA Track & Field Olympic Trials in Oregon.

LeBron and A’ja will head to the Paris Olympics next month to represent the USA Men’s and Women’s basketball teams respectively. While A’ja will be featuring in her second Olympics, for LBJ this could be his swan song year at the summer event.

While LeBron James and A’ja Wilson’s careers are at contrasting stages, they are going into the Olympics with the same goal, to bring the Gold medal home.

“It’s more miles put on these tires,” LeBron said in an interview during the NBA All-Star game. “But if I’m committed – which I am – to USA basketball, then I’m going to commit my mind, body, and soul to being out there for USA basketball, being out there representing our country with the utmost respect and go out there and play.”

There were doubts over LeBron’s participation in the Olympics as things could’ve drastically changed if the NBA All-Star got injured during the season. But he remained injury-free and an early exit from the playoffs surely helped.

As for A’ja Wilson, this is a chance for her and the Women’s team to win back-to-back Olympic Gold. LeBron and Wilson have both shown support for each other off the court. Even last week, the Las Vegas Aces star shared her pride with the Men’s team.

LeBron has also been complimentary of Wilson and gave her a shout-out after her record-breaking 36-point performance against the Dallas Wings, earlier this month. With both more focused than ever, things are looking bright for the USAB and Nike’s newest gadget can give them the edge they need on the global stage.
