You just had to wonder when the day would come when the shoes you walked on would join the technology revolution. I mean, as much as manufacturers would like us to believe, walking on air packets or floating on a layer of gel doesn't make a shoe a technological marvel. However, Nike+ is about to change all that.

 

 

Released sometime last year in the US, and making its way into Malaysia later this month is the Nike+. The Nike+ Air Zoom Moire is the first footwear designed to talk to iPod. Nike plans to make many of its leading footwear styles Nike+ ready, connecting millions of consumers to the Nike+iPod experience. With the Nike+ footwear connected to iPod nano through the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, information on time, distance, calories burned and pace is stored on iPod and displayed on the screen; real-time audible feedback also is provided through headphones. The kit includes an in-shoe sensor and a receiver that attaches to iPod. A new Nike Sport Music section on the iTunes® Music Store and a new nikeplus.com personal service site help maximize the Nike+iPod experience.

 

How good is it? We'll have an exclusive review of the the Nike+ experience in the next couple of weeks, stay tuned! 8 million miles of running can't possibly be wrong.
