If You Love Nike’s Hit Rejuven8 Recovery Clog You’ll Be a Big Fan of the Slide Version

Nike’s ReactX Rejuven8 recovery clog has been exceptionally well-received, selling out in a number of sizes and colorways upon its launch at the beginning of March. The Swoosh won’t wait long to capitalize on the slip-on’s momentum either, as a slide variant is quickly on the way.

The Nike ReactX Rejuven8 Slide makes use of the same the same ultra-comfortable cushioning technology while maintaining the sweeping lines of the clog. Five colorways have already confirmed for the summer, four of which (black, beige, burgundy and “Volt” green) appear in solid colors. The final of the selection is the most fun, with one shade of blue giving way to another as the upper meets the midsole.

ReactX is the same foam featured in the maximum-cushioned Vomero 18 as part of Nike’s recently streamlined running lineup. It first launched in the summer of 2023 and features a 13 percent increase in energy return compared to regular React and a 43 percent reduction in its carbon footprint.

Recovery footwear is a rapidly growing category in the footwear market, which should come as no surprise amid the explosion of running. The ReactX Rejuven8 series marks Nike’s biggest play for the market, and the lineup of slides and clogs deliver two different options for breathability and freedom of movement.

For an even more active approach to recovery, Nike has teamed up with Hyperice for boots with heat and air-compression massaging that can be walked in and will release this year.
