How do these shoes work?
http://www.nike.com/nikeplus/?pl=tes...019061350#runs
Do you have run a cord to your shoes? Does it modulate a signal with your ipod?

Seems pretty straightforward to me, they implant a chip in your brain which measures chemical activity in your body based on the distance you travel and cross-references that with visual information attained from another chip imbedded in your eye.
Or, there is a sensor in each shoe that senses pressure, and with stride length data you input yourself, the info (stride frequency x stride length) is sent to the Nano and displayed for your viewing pleasure. One of those two, your choice.If sense were common, everyone would have it.

That is a good idea, but I don't trust pedometers to keep accurate distance or calories burned. I think those shoes will be over-priced crap.
Anyhow, I like new balance and I use the trip meter in my car to plot distances.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

Those are pretty cool.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

I wonder if they tell all the posers on the treadmill to shut the fuck up and run.
Now THAT would be worth the price

That is what I was wondering. I didn't have a chance to thoroughly research it. Originally Posted by Dale Mabry

not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

They put the antenna up your ass and run nano tube fiber optics through the veins in your legs to you ankles and when you slip the shoes on prongs in the heel connect to the fiber optic through your skin...you'll get used to the pain Originally Posted by IainDaniel

Very cool, but way too expensive.
I'd rather stick to my New Balance 992's and a simple stop watch for my times. 100 dollars for their shoes, of which I have not heard reviews of. The entire kit must cost around 400. The comcept is neat, but I doubt I'd buy... It's just a pedometer and a stopwatch essentially.. the other "stats" are just found by dealing with your time and distance. Convenient, but at quite a price.
