Nike’s New 24.7 Recovery Boot Has a Hint of Air Yeezy 2 DNA

Nike is taking recovery footwear in a different direction with the Nike 24.7 Men’s Boot, a $160 slip-on designed for comfort before and after training.

The silhouette is intentionally minimal, wrapping the foot in a soft brown leather upper with a heavily padded collar and very little visible branding. The most interesting part of the design comes around the heel, where the material folds into a series of stacked ridges. It’s hard not to see a little Air Yeezy 2 in that sculpted rear profile, even if the two shoes serve completely different purposes.

Underfoot, Nike uses a stacked foam midsole designed around what the brand calls bellowed compression, giving the boot a soft but supportive feel without becoming overly squishy. A high sidewall helps hold the foot in place, while the outsole incorporates cushioned pods intended to absorb impact and add some bounce with each step.

Those pods also provide the biggest hit of contrast on the otherwise tonal pair, appearing in a bright coral shade beneath the brown outsole. Inside, plush padding surrounds the foot, with Nike positioning the 24.7 as something you can slide into after training, competition, or a long day on your feet.

The Nike 24.7 Men’s Boot is priced at $160. Expect additional release details as Nike continues to build out its recovery-focused 24.7 range, with select pieces being available now on Nike.com.
