They look cool, aren't they supposed to adjust to whatever surface you're stepping on? IDK though, 250 is a lot for a shoe, just think of the supplements you could get for that!

yup, they use chambers of air to cushion as you need it when you jump, run, roll over, all that good stuff you do in your daily life. looks cool, but I am predicting failure unless they get some big name athletes to endorse it.

what about the new nike shoe with an ipod thing in it?



Apple is teaming up with Nike to cross-promote sneakers and iPods. The footwear and earwear giants are soon launching a new line of iPod-compatible sneakers, plus a wireless pedometer-cum-connection-kit that pumps exercise feedback into runners' ears. "Faster, fat ass!"

The Nike+iPod cross promotion encourages runners to buy a new pair of Nike+ sneakers, which have a little pocket for a wireless sensor. The wireless sensor is part of a $30 Nike+iPod Sport Kit from Apple, which is expected to ship within 60 days.

The Nike+iPod Sport Kit also includes a small receiver that plugs into the dock connector on the bottom of the iPod. Out on the road, the sensor sends data about time, distance, and pace to the iPod, which provides unspecified "workout-based voice feedback" while you run. Presumably, it's encouraging.

Back at home, the iPod uploads the exercise data to the Mac or PC, and syncs with iTunes and the NikePlus website which records runs and sets goals. In addition, the site will allow runners to challenge each other to "virtual races" and download time- or distance-based workout routines. It will also offer sporty iMixes "chosen and introduced by top athletes."

Lotta money for something your gonna step in a pile of dog crap with.

yeah, ill stick with the nice running shoe and mp3 player. you can judge the distance/intensity with your own scale, which is what matters. #s are nice to put beside it, but you know when your pushing yourself and working harder than normal or not.
