Nike Hyperace for handball

Air Zoom at the front and traction in all directions

Nike describes the Hyperace as a shoe for fast and responsive play: low defenses, lunges, recoveries. On the most padded version on the page, an Air Zoom unit under the front of the foot provides cushioning and responsiveness. The outsole features a multidirectional traction pattern to grip on wood flooring and synthetic surfaces. The upper is lightweight and breathable, reinforced with abrasion-resistant materials at the toe and front of the foot.

A padded collar against twists

Two elements hold the foot in place. Inside, an internal strap system locks the midfoot once laced. Around the ankle, a thick, padded collar helps limit ankle and heel rolling, according to Nike. In handball, this offers reassurance during uneven catches after a shot or contact.

The TPU cage generation

The page also keeps the previous generation of the Hyperace. This version combined a Zoom Air unit for lightweight cushioning with a TPU cage that hugs the foot and enhances support, on a rubber sole designed for hard surfaces. A heel tab makes it easier to put on. A few older women's models complete the selection.

The SE editions

SE for Special Edition: these versions retain the technology of the model and change their look. On the page, they stand out from the team's white outfits with cream and sky blue shades, white and silver, or a multicolour design.

Hyperace in handball: what it brings, what it lacks

Nike originally designed it for volleyball and does not offer a handball shoe on the site. Its front cushioning and padded collar remain assets for a fast or recreational player: quick starts, retreats, jump receptions. It lacks the lateral reinforcements typical of handball shoes, which are important during contact or hard stops on a support.

The Hyper family from Nike

Each model in the family has its own page.

• Hyperset: the Air Zoom at the front and Flywire cables linked to the lacing.
• Hyperspeed Court: a low and lightweight indoor shoe, with a Zoom Air under the toes.
• Hyperquick: cushioning that spans the entire length and a rubber outsole.
• Hyperattack: another court model from the brand.

The entire selection is on the page shoes Nike.

Frequently asked questions

What size to take in Nike Hyperace?

For the Hyperace with an Air Zoom unit at the front, Nike indicates that it runs small and recommends going half a size up. Measure your foot in centimeters and compare it with the guide on the sheet before ordering.

Is the Hyperace suitable for a female player?

Yes. The unisex models follow the men's sizing scheme: convert your size using the size guide instead of taking your usual women's shoe size. The page also includes women's versions.

A Hyperace for a handball goalkeeper?

It can be suitable for a goalkeeper looking for cushioning at the front of the foot for jumps and receptions. For repeated lateral movements, check during fitting that the sole holds you well in lateral supports, as this is not its specialty.

How to clean a white Hyperace?

A soft brush and soapy water on the upper, a magic eraser on the sole's marks, then air dry away from the radiator. Avoid the machine, which weakens the gluing.

Hyperace or Hyperset: what's the difference?

Both have an Air Zoom unit at the front. The Hyperace focuses on the padded collar and internal straps, while the Hyperset relies on Flywire cables connected to the lacing for midfoot support. The choice is often made during fitting, based on the sensation of support.
