Must have Nike + iPod Sports Kits for workout music!
I am pretty excited about this - the new Nike and iPod Sports Kits. They have been out for a while but I only just saw them in the shop and it looks really cool! Check it out.
What is the Nike + iPod Sports Kit?
Basically this is an idea Nike and Apple have come up with where you put three products together to make your running or walking or any other exercise much more enjoyable.
You need:
- The specially designed Nike shoes that have a little built in pouch for the Nike iPod Sensor;
- An iPod Nano;
- A Nike + iPod Sports Kit (below).

What does the Nike + iPod Sports Kit do?
Well, this is what I was asking people for a long time. I didn’t get it. But, it turns out the Nike + Sports Kit thing has a little device you put in your shoes and it creates and measures all sorts of things and transmits this data to your iPod Nano.
Some of the things that the device can do are:
- Tell you how far you have run;
- Tell you how many calories you have burned;
- Gives you a motivation comment through your iPod Nano.
The other cool thing that you can do is plug in your gear to the computer and using the Apple technology graph how far you have run and track your progress over time. This is a really useful tool for sportpeople who need to make sure they are moving forward and not backward.
Negatives of the Nike + iPod Sports Kit
Some of the downfalls are:
- You cannot replace the shoe device battery. It is supposed to last 1000 miles.
- You don’t really need to buy the Nike + shoes, they are a bit of a marketing ploy.
- You have to have an iPod Nano; it won’t work with others.
- You will probably have to upgrade to a newer version of iTunes.
Final word on the Sports Kit
It is awesome! I really think a lot of people will enjoy this thing, even for just a short time. But, if a little piece of technology can make exercise fun for a little while then I say go for it.
Has anyone got one of these?
