Nike+iPod

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia


The Nike+iPod was a collaboration between Apple Inc. and Nike, Inc. that integrated iPod technology with Nike footwear to create a fitness tracking system. The product was designed to help users track their running and workout statistics, such as distance, pace, and calories burned.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The Nike+iPod system consisted of a sensor that was placed inside a specially designed compartment in the sole of a Nike+ shoe and a receiver that was connected to an iPod Nano. The sensor communicated wirelessly with the iPod to record workout data.

Features[edit | edit source]

  • Wireless Communication: The sensor used Bluetooth technology to transmit data to the iPod.
  • Workout Tracking: Users could track their running distance, pace, and calories burned.
  • Audio Feedback: The iPod provided real-time audio feedback during workouts.
  • Synchronization: Users could sync their workout data with the Nike+ website to track progress over time.

Compatibility[edit | edit source]

The Nike+iPod was compatible with the iPod Nano, iPod Touch, and iPhone models that supported the Nike+ app. It required Nike+ shoes or a shoe pouch to hold the sensor.

Discontinuation[edit | edit source]

The Nike+iPod was discontinued on September 7, 2010, as newer technologies and devices, such as the iPhone and Apple Watch, began to offer more advanced fitness tracking capabilities.
