So true!
Nike is expanding its Nike+ program to target more than just joggers and runners. The company has revealed Nike+ Basketball, which works together with an iPhone or iPod touch to track "how high, how hard and how quick" you play on the court. Unfortunately the company doesn't specify exactly what's recorded, but the system will use whatever data it collects to set goals for you to complete and to rank how well you perform. Those rankings will be shared on leaderboards with your friends that are designed to make you train harder thanks to the subtle persuasion of competition. If you've got the ups, the "Showcase" feature of the app records a video of you dunking and superimposes the data it collects onto your footage. The first sneakers to be part of the program are the Nike Hyperdunk+ (above), which will be available come June 29th at an unspecified cost. If your vertical leap is lacking, the Nike+ Training app, which works in conjunction with the Nike+ app lets you record your gym stats, set goals, score points, and compete with friends. It doesn't sound wholly unlike Nike's own FuelBand (or the Fitbit Ultra andJawbone Up), but there's a difference: the Nike+ Training shoes have specific workouts and challenges that are displayed on your phone while you train. Like Nike+ Basketball, users are rated on their performance, and there's a leaderboard that's designed to push you to train harder when you see a buddy has topped your score. It sounds like a service that will appeal to those who are less interested in geeking out with the metrics of your workout and more interested in turning training into a point-based game.
The first Nike+ Training shoes will be the Nike Lunar TR-1+ for men and the Lunar Hyper Workout+ for women (pictured below), which, like the Hyperdunk+ sneakers, will be released in the US, UK, France, Germany, and China come June 29th. No word on pricing, but we're sure they'll carry a hefty premium over their non-digital cousins.

I think my favorite shoes ever to ball in were the Lebron 2 and Jordan Black Cat 4. All this fancy tech is all marketing and gimmicks.

What colorways did to the 9's for most people was turn an "ugly" shoe into a sought after shoe. I hope the 10's aint the same way. Just Sayin.Originally Posted by J Steezzz

Colorways save the shoe game period. Imagine if every shoe just had a white version and a black version, would you still be into shoes? most likely no.

it could be great, impact protection of air max and the softness of full length zoom (replacingt most of the "hard" columns used in air maxes with zoom air)??!.... that can potentially be comfort breakthrough. And who would be the best person that could use that tech in his shoes to match his game.....??? Lebron.Originally Posted by Mister Friendly

You seem to be a shoe techie like me but I dont think the Zoom inside the Air Max will be that great and it definitely isnt worth an $80 dollar price increase.

Gonna second the above. Nike's going full out with the gimmicks today - and the price point keeps rising. Eventually the whole cycle might come around full circle and the 'latest tech' will be a shoe with a full grain leather upper and forefoot/heel Air.Originally Posted by ShoeGoon7

I agree 100%, as long as a shoe has good traction and comfort what more should you need? When it boils down to it, it's up to the baller to put in work in the gym, "technology" can only help you do much.
