Nike and Apple Team Up to Launch Nike + iPod

New York (23 May, 2006) – Nike and Apple® today announced a partnership bringing the worlds of sports and music together like never before with the launch of innovative Nike + iPod products. The first product developed through this partnership is the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, a wireless system that allows Nike+ footwear to talk with your iPod® nano to connect you to the ultimate personal running and workout experience.
Nike CEO Mark Parker and Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled Nike + iPod at an event in New York attended by seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong and marathon world record-holder Paula Radcliffe.
“Nike + iPod is a partnership between two iconic, global brands with a shared passion for creating meaningful consumer product experiences through design and innovation,” Parker said. “This is the first result, and Nike + iPod will change the way people run. Nike + iPod creates a better running experience. We see many more such Nike+ innovations in the future.”
"We're working with Nike to take music and sport to a new level," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "The result is like having a personal coach or training partner motivating you every step of your workout."
The new 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,http://www.smetraders.com/images/cheapnikeshox.htm, 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.
Armstrong,nike shox clearance sale, who is preparing for his first NY Marathon, said, “If you can incorporate time, distance and calories burned together and make it function for both the fitness runner and the high level athlete, it will take working out to a whole other level.”
“I definitely use music both ways,” Radcliffe said. “I listen to faster music if I am doing a workout in the gym to just get the best out of myself, but I also use it to help me relax in the buildup to a big race.”
