Apple hits the gym

by Dave Caolo (Mar 4th, 2008)

Apple and Nike are about to extend their partnership all the way to the gym. A few years ago, Apple and Nike announced the Nike+ line of products, including workout clothing designed to accommodate an iPod nano. The main product is a small chip which, when placed inside a sneaker, transmits workout ...

TrailRunner 1.3 with Garmin and Nike Support

by Mat Lu (Feb 24th, 2007)

When we last mentioned TrailRunner it was pitched primarily as a tool for making your iPod into a workout tool. The newly released version 1.3 expands its functionality considerably with support for importing routes from the recently released Garmin Training Center as well as workout information ...

Nike+ website adds 'Map it' feature

by Scott McNulty (Feb 4th, 2007)

Legions of iPod nano toting runners track their workouts using the Nike+ website. I am not one of them (though I am getting in shape, sadly running has never been attractive to me), however, I still think the website is neat. Nike has just added a cool new feature to the Nike+ website: 'Map it.' ...

Nike + iPod + Google Maps = Runometer

by David Chartier (Jan 25th, 2007)

Here's something I've been wishing the Nikeplus.com site to implement itself: integration with Google Maps. Not ones to wait around for giant companies to switch on niche features, a small software company by the name of Gordian Labs has created the Runometer, a not-quite-even-beta mashup that lets ...

Nike wants to help you with your resolutions

by Scott McNulty (Dec 28th, 2006)

Nike wants to help you get in shape in 2007. Using the Nike+ iPod sports kit and the Nike+ website you can set a running goal for January 2007. You also say what you'll do if you don't meet that goal (I suppose 'run faster' might be a good one). Nike is also running a 'Superstars Resolutions' ...

Found Footage: New Nike+ commercial

by Scott McNulty (Dec 22nd, 2006)

Nike has a new commercial out advertising the Nike+ iPod sports kit. It features a young man getting off a couch, iPod in hand, to go running. He runs on a treadmill whilst he scenery changes in the background. But why are you reading about the commercial, just go watch it! [via iLounge] ...

Widget Watch: Nike+ iPod Challenges and Goals widgets

by Scott McNulty (Dec 7th, 2006)

I have been trying to get in shape, but I haven't yet gotten myself a Nike + iPod sports kit. When I do, though, I will be sure to download these two Widgets that Nike has just made available (they are currently in Beta, but what isn't?). One widget tracks your challenges (you can challenge another ...

Look at your workout data without using the Nike Plus website

by Scott McNulty (Oct 12th, 2006)

Matt is a big fan of the Nike + iPod kit, as it would seem more people who use it are. He does have on problem with it, though. There is not an easy way to share your running data with others. Sure, the Nike Plus website graphs your progress, and you can compete with other runners, but you can't ...

A week with the Nike + iPod Sports Kit

by David Chartier (Jul 27th, 2006)

The kit's been out for a while, and I have been running with my own (with a cheap shoe wallet; not Nike's shoes) for about a week now, so I figured I would post a brief review and some thoughts about one of the most unique (and arguably active) iPod accessories to date. In a nutshell - it's nice. ...

All your workouts are belong to Nikeplus

by David Chartier (Jul 15th, 2006)

We're not sure how a one-sentence support document made it into Apple's support knowledgebase, but this strange doc somehow snuck past the velvet rope. It simply states: "There is no way to remove workout data from the nikeplus website", with a 'stay tuned for more info' bit at the end to finish ...

iLounge unboxes the Nike + iPod Sport Kit

by David Chartier (Jul 14th, 2006)

iLounge has unboxed the Nike + iPod Sport Kit and decided to go full-on with pictures of everything, including some iPod-infused Nike apparel and screenshots of how exactly the software in the iPod nano works. While we've already seen some pics of the software, iLounge posted more images that ...

Tune your run, old school

by Dave Caolo (Jun 8th, 2006)

The Apple Blog points out that, with all the hubbub surrounding the Apple/Nike deal, we ought to remember that the Air Zoom Moire isn't technically the first time Apple has become involved in footwear. Many moons ago, some Apple employees could be seen sporting these babies. Oh, yeah. For some ...

Steve abandons New Balance for Nike

by Dave Caolo (May 25th, 2006)

With all the hubbub surrounding the announcement of the Apple/Nike partnership, no one mentioned the day's most striking revelation. No one except Arik Hesseldahl, that is. In an article at Business Week Online, Arik points out that Steve was wearing a pair of Nike Moires instead of his usual New ...
