Skill_Caster Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 For those of you who don't know, Nike+ is a partner project with Apple and Nike. You grab some Nike+ shoes and a sensor to put in the insole, and then said sensor communicates with either your iPod Touch 2G (the 2G touch already has an integrated receiver), or any iPod Nano with a Nike+ receiver. Then, as you run, you can listen to your music, and as you run, your iPod acts as a personal trainer, motivating you and giving you detailed information about your run. You can basically do anything with it, from training to a 5k, to trying to beat your time record; and from burning a set number of calories, to just an open-ended workout. It's like have a treadmill, or other special equipment, anywhere you happen to me. You just whip out your iPod and run. Then, when you get home, you can sync your data to the Nike+ website, and you can look at all your runs through organized graphs and other neat stuff. You can even accept challenges, like training for a marathon; or join a team effort, such as the Nike+ Men vs. Women challenge. There's a lot of possibilities. The sheer awesomeness of it still amazes me. I've been wanting it for a while and I might go out and get it today. Any other Tip.It'ers have experience with it?

OldJoe Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'm surprised they didn't market this new collaboration as "iNike", since most "trendy" or new things seem to have an *i* in them. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Seems like a cool idea. Thats what these things always are, unnecessary, but cool. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest User Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The closest I have come to this product is owning the shoes. Not for the functionality of monitering my every move, but for the functionality of walking. Personally, I don't know if I would feel comfortable having my shoe be smarter than I. Just think if they started thinking on there own. :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superson Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have an Ipod Touch 2g, but I won't buy new shoes just for this. I already have shoes. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers.

Latinoking Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've always wanted to buy the shoes and the rest of the stuff for it, but I always end up just buying different shoes and simply going to a gym (which has equipment to tell how about the calories I've lost, etc) and simply hear stuff on my iPod.

stevepole Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've always found the Nike+ system to be pretty interesting but I'm not about to go buy special shoes just so I can use it. I'd rather just buy the sensor and use it in shoes I already own and save the money so I've never bought the sensor or the shoes. Maybe one day I'll go and buy it but that would be if I ever got into running or jogging on a daily bases or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_moocky Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 If my shoes kept screeming "KEEP GOING!" at me I would throw them out. I don't buy overpriced things so I do not own any nike or apple products anyway. quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorillabones Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I had one. Recorded over 350 miles on it until my iPod got stolen. So now I just run without music which I find more relaxing. All I do now is run and I am logging 50-60 miles a week, top runner in my enteir school pretty meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
