Run TRACKS while you play TRACKS…
That’s right Nike and Apple have teamed up to get you in motion.So go-ahead and pick your mix and motivate your run. Nike+ lets you listen to tunes while you track your progress on an Ipod nano. Simply slip the Nike+ sensor into the Air Zoom Moire shoe pocket, or any other Nike+ Ready shoe, and head out. The Ipod nano tracks your progress, providing feedback on distance, time, pace and calories burned directly through the headphones. After your run, a performance summary appears on the nano screen and can be heard through the headphones. You also will be able to sync the info up to your pc. Now that’s cool. I have a Timex system that pretty much does the same thing but it also keeps your heart rate, and I paid $300 for the system. With this system you will be able to hit the road for around $130 ($100 for the shoes and $30 for the sport kit that goes into the Ipod). So head over to itunes and download the podrunner podcast (one of my favorite exercise podcast) tie your shoes and hit the road running!
TOG OUT!

Very neat idea. It’s interesting to see how companies ride the coat tails of other companies.
So the potential for profit drives innovation?
What can Nike do to team up with Video Game Consoles? Would an innovative Nike porduct designed for the 360 help console sales?

Nice product; I looked at it the other day at Dick’s, and it seemed like it would work well.
Nike is rusty….*See numerous sports games in which their shoes are feature*
maybe that’s not what you meant…hehe.

Yea I think this is innovative, however I want a chip in my Fruit of the Looms. Then I can see how many calories I burn at TOGs house when He’s at work!
