I bought my sister the Nike+iPod Sport Kit (with the shoes), and she absolutely swears by it. Good product.

I might be getting this pouch...I can use my own shoes! Excellent.

Great! Now I can cut expensie Nike out of the loop.

Watch the stock dive!

MDN Word: "Held"

"I'm being held against my will by Nike lockin"

Nike's shoes are too narrow for me. I run 25+ miles per week on average in my Adidas and I use a pouch like this for my Nike+iPod Sport Kit. It's works perfectly.

Still have to buy Nike in order to get the sensor?

If so, this needs to change.

Copy cat sensors available?

Har, the sensor comes as part of the Sport Kit, which is about $39. So you don't need to buy any shoes.

Yup the sensor is an Apple product. Nike just on for the ride. I use Adidas shoes too. Think I will get the pouch since I have lost a sensor that I place used the laces.
worst thing was that I realized within 2 minutes but some bastard had already picked it up.

The Nike website is interesting - you dl your data via iTunes and then you can follow your last runs. Still evolving though. There's some other software available to get the data to allow you to track your efforts.

Okay, I am a manager at Road Runner sports and I have to laugh everytime I hear someone say "Nike shoes are too narrow," that is the biggest urban legend in the running world...

If you don't like Nike shoes, then fine, but please understand that Nike shoes come in a variety of different widths, and are just as "wide" as every other shoe brand out there. Put the myth to rest please.

"Yup the sensor is an Apple product. Nike just on for the ride."

Actually No, Nike is the one who approached Apple with the concept for this product and the implementation was jointly developed by both companies. If it was purely Apple's doing, it would not be called the NIke+ iPod kit.

@Road Runner

OK, so Nike shoes may come in widths. They are still shyte. A bought a pair once, and they promptly fell apart. Worse shoes I ever bought. So never again to Nike.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

It ain't gonna happen!

We won't be fooled again

Again, Nike shoes have many different styles and price-points for their shoes.. If you purchased Nike shoes designed for your feet and your running feet, there is no reason they should have "promptly fallen apart." Furthermore, if you purchased them from a running shop like "Roadrunner Sports" you have a 90 day money back guarantee no matter how much you have worn them.

Nike makes very fine running shoes as do most other major brands. Unfortunately, most people choose running shoes based on the exterior color and appearance while neglecting to purchase shoes that are "right" for their feet..

Skip the Footlocker type sport shops and come into a real runners shop like Roadrunner Sports, and we will do a series of free tests to determine the best brand and style of running shoe for your foot and running needs.

As far as your statement about Nike making "shyte" shoes, well, that's a load of "shyte." But again, you should NEVER buy running shoes just based on appearance or the fact that there is a pouch for a sensor underneath the sole. Nike or other brand, we have the perfect shoe for you.
