Nike launches Air Zoom Moire
Nike is introducing the Air Zoom Moire, said to be the first footwear designed to talk to Apple's iPod nano.
The Air Zoom Moire connects to the iPod through a wireless Nike+iPod Sport Kit, on which then information on time, distance, calories burned and pace is stored on the iPod and displayed on the screen; real-time audible feedback is also provided through headphones. The kit includes an in-shoe sensor and a receiver that attaches to iPod.
Nike also is introducing a range of performance apparel and accessories, including jackets, tops, shorts and armband, designed for the iPod nano and Nike+iPod Sport Kit. All Nike+ apparel is designed for the way athletes move, integrating smart, ergonomic design, performance-specific materials, ventilation, and weather protection.
Nike will introduce a further six footwear styles that are Nike+ ready in the autumn.
