Recovery tech just earned its winter stripes. Hyperice have linked up with Nike and their rugged Nike ACG sub-label to create a custom edition of the Normatec Elite for athletes heading to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.
Debuting in early February, the limited-edition Normatec Elite x Nike ACG system is engineered specifically for winter sports' punishing realities: freezing temperatures, dense competition schedules, and constant travel. The units arrive dressed in ACG’s unmistakable blaze-orange palette with black accents and co-branded Hyperice x Nike ACG patches across the leg sleeves, giving the recovery essential a utilitarian, expedition-ready aesthetic that feels right at home in the mountains.
The collaboration builds on the momentum of the award-winning Nike x Hyperice Hyperboot and Vest that first appeared at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. This time around, the focus is portability and versatility. Normatec Elite delivers Hyperice’s patented dynamic air compression therapy, designed to boost circulation, reduce soreness, and accelerate muscle recovery between sessions.
Crucially, the system will be issued to Nike athletes as they travel to and from Italy, where long-haul flights and transit days can take a serious toll on the body. Consider it a portable pit crew – slip in, switch on, and arrive ready to perform.
And before you ask: this one’s staying in the locker room. Produced in extremely limited numbers, the Normatec Elite x Nike ACG system won’t be available for retail, instead living inside Nike’s athlete recovery capsules and activation houses across Italy.
