As I stir black beans into a veg-filled frying pan, I realise my soon-to-be dinner is only the second hottest thing in the room. A low buzzing sound emanates from the enormous space boots electrically heating my feet. Simultaneously, the shoes start to inflate to give my lower extremities a massage of sorts.
I’m wearing the Nike x Hyperice hyperboot, sported by World Cup stars such as Virgil van Dijk as a way to “optimise” their warm-up and recovery routines. However, while they might don theirs at state-of-the-art training facilities between games, I’ve popped mine on post-gym while whipping up some dinner.
