Kane Footwear teamed up with Olympic gold medal winner Hilary Knight to debut their new Black/Gold Medal Kane Revive footwear. Knight is on her feet daily as a member of the Professional-Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) and an eight-time World Champion. She not only helped USA women's hockey win gold in the 2018 Olympics, but she also skated again with the USA Hockey team in the 2022 Olympics in China helping her team earn a silver medal.
Arriving refreshed and ready to win is ingrained in Knight's recovery routine. In a recent interview, Knight said, "I have finally found a comfortable recovery footwear solution for a pre-and-post workout. The Kane Revive recovery slip-on let my feet expand, breathe and heal so I can improve my performance."
In celebration of their new partnership with Knight, Kane released the Black/Gold Medal Revive designed in collaboration with performance sports podiatrist Dr. Dan Geller. This new show offers the best recovery features for athletes like Hilary, and everyday athletes who walk, jog, hike or stand on their feet for a length of time.
Kane helps those with plantar fasciitis with its 10mm heel elevation to relieve stress from the Achilles, while supporting the arch of the foot and helping in preventing pronation. The heel cup helps stabilize the heel, as well as EVA cushioning for additional support.
According to Craig Stankevich, Kane's Chief Marketing Officer, “Kane Footwear couldn’t be more excited to bring arguably the best female hockey player ever to the Kane Team. “Knight has been successful at all levels of sports, from her youth to the professional ranks, and yet, at a time when most others would be basking in what they have achieved, she is still pushing herself to the limits and going for the gold again."
The benefits of this recovery footwear include:
Muscle Strain Reduction by matching your foot shape, requiring less effort with every step.
Easy Energy Transfer to cut muscle use and assist in your natural stride. The 10mm average heel-to-toe drop on the Revive helps propel you forward with a rocking motion that requires less effort for your muscles.
Expansion to all overworked feet to breathe and expand, instead of having feet locked into tight performance shoes. The Revive is built spaciously and with a perforated upper for the best air circulation.
Kane Revive come in an array of colors besides Black/Gold Medal. Other colors include Black/Cream, White/Gold Medal, Stone/Cream, White/Cream, White/Pacific Speckle, White/Spring Speckle, White/Chili Speckle, Charcoal/Black Speckle, Black/ Red Speckle, Papaya/Coral Speckle, Heather/Pink, and Wasabi/Lime. They are easy to clean, just wipe or wash off with water or throw them in a washing machine and set to cold temperature.
