Honestly speaking -- Nike still needs to regain (and in many cases... gain) the trust of serious technical runners. A concept store is great. But, ifit's catering to the 360 casual crowd or hopes to offer limited spins on in-line models; I don't see how that advances performance in that category. Ifanything, they need to tackle the Asics and New Balance divisions that are offering superior models and versions, and also need to do a better job of staffingEXPERT runners who run, can understand the world of running and the varying shapes, sizes, and needs of runners and who also can offer humility when a doubterenters the store who perhaps in the past has been loyal to the competition. Nike needs to admit to themselves first that indeed they should be doing betterwith Tech. Running and in offering more personal widths as New Balance so greatly does.
For me...a House Of Hoops-like Running store shouldn't be keen on limited editions, "innovation" such as 360, or other faux-techs like Nike+ thattracks info. too elementary for those training for elite competition.
