Slew of new Nike+ gear leaked

Nike's not doing the best of jobs keeping a lid on their expanding Nike+ CE line (get it, Jobs? Nevermind.), which is why we've got some leaked shots of upcoming gear, including the Nike Speed+ Watch Kit (which displays distance, pace, elapsted time, and calories), and three iPod controlling watch systems including the Amp+, and the so-similar-they-may-be-the-same-product Flight+ and Aero+ (which features voice feedback and a rocking bezel for music control). All are launching launching May 1st for varying prices: $130 (Speed Watch and Aero+) and $80 (Amp+).

Dont people just run anymore. Seriously, you dont need all these gimmicks to have a good workout... just go out and run. Unless you're an Olympic hopeful, these are not necessary.

You're a maroon. Any runner who is properly training for a race, from a 5k to a marathon, needs to monitor pace and distace. It's always been that way. You just do go out and run. There's a little more to it.

How can you tell that he is dark red?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 19th 2007 7:04PM]

Yeah, because before iPods, nobody ever ran.

is nevermind a word?

Hey castle, fyi, i do 2 marathons a year... I carry a water bottle, thats it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 19th 2007 6:21PM]

To each his own ... I have the Nike+ kit and enjoy using it. Its also a good motivator!

So you don't use any device to monitor your pace or distance? I doubt you run marathons without tracking your progress with something.

I think we can expect an iPod Touch w/wifi & bluetooth built in around May 1st.

Wishful thinking?

am i the only one who saw that from is spelled wrong on the second picture? doesnt seem very Nike.... i dont know, we'll see...

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 19th 2007 6:41PM]

I hope there's one that comes out around June 1st that interfaces with the iPhone, snows caller id, etc. Similar to Sony Ericsson's MBW-100 just not so damn expensive...

Nike+ is the only reason I ever bought an ipod. I pretty much hate apple but this thing is too good not to have if you run. I don't really see a watch interface as much of an upgrade though. Not for $150.

"Watches sold separately form [sic] sport kit"? Do they not spell check these or are these fakes?

Anyone else think these might be fake?

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 20th 2007 10:44AM]

This is not a fake! This is a real project made by a design student. I think he got a B.

Just because he runs 2 marathons a year doesn't mean he gets close to winning or even finishes.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 19th 2007 8:00PM]

I run 2-3 marathons a year and I like to track my runs with Nike+. Anything that helps get me motivated AND tracks data for me is a winner in my books.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 19th 2007 8:20PM]

to be honest, I don't wear a watch, but I do use the Nike+ kit, and have since it came out. This is an incentive for me to start caring about time, just so I can have an iPod remote which I have been anting for years, only problem is that I wanted to get the motorola bluetooth headphones so I could slip my ipod in my running pouch, now I know I won't have wireless headphones. But that Nike+ Amp has me excited, great design and very practical. Oh, FYI, I didn't run before Nike+, I cycled, but now I run more! It is a great motivator, Kudos to Apple and Nike, those sweatshop monger's have nailed it!

I love the Nike+ concept but hated iPods. They're way too overrated and popular for my taste, so I've been deprived of my experience except for buying the shoes (Air Max 180+, highly recommended!). Hopefully, it is true and it comes out soon!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 20th 2007 12:46PM]

I love the running kit. I wish they would come out with a kit for biking.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 20th 2007 3:29PM]

Still needs a HRM, dammit!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 21st 2007 12:43AM]

I'm happy with my Garmin, but wow, a Nike watch that isn't useless for left-handed people? Thanks for the effort, Nike. :-/

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 21st 2007 8:34PM]

Anyone else think the watch is ugly...
