Nike is Hooking Up Winter Olympic Athletes with the Ultimate Training and Recovery Kit

The Winter Olympics are set to take over Italy next month, spanning two weeks of intense competition held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, featuring everything from bobsleds and ski jumps to snowboarding, ice skating, hockey, and more. For Nike athletes making their way to Italy to compete on the world stage, Beaverton is sending them off in style with a full kit of dedicated training and recovery gear built to bring the best out of every practice.

The Nike Winter Olympics Performance Capsule features two pairs of shoes, a Nike Mind 001 Mule designed to inspire mental focus before and after training sessions, plus a pair of the ultra-tech Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot that creates a custom cold pressure recovery routine. Giving athletes a mind-altering slide to walk around the Olympic Village in and an icy recovery boot to wear in their dorms, Nike is working hard to protect its athletes' feet.

In addition to the footwear, the Nike Performance Capsule features a pair of Nike Vision Blue Light Glasses made to reduce blue light exposure and digital eye strain, plus high-tech earplugs and sleep masks from partner brands, designed to make sure athletes are getting the rest they need to perform at the highest level.

The Nike Winter Olympics Performance Capsule won’t be released to the public, so unless you’ve got a spot on your country’s curling team, you’re better off waiting on SNKRS for the next Nike Mind restock like the rest of us.
