Background: Nike & Apple joined hand to introduce personal trainer built into your shoes and iPod. More infro here.

Since Nike sells sensors and shoes separately, I have always wondered whether I need to buy those $100 shoes or not (those shoes have special hole in which you could put the sensors in). According to this post on podophile’s blog, you can attach the sensor onto any shoes with velcro, and it would work too.

I have been thinking about buying it, but I haven’t got myself in a mood to buy a $100 shoes yet. I might have bought it if it were the time when I was in high school and was a little more crazy about shoes. This seems like a perfect mod for me. I will wait for a while to see whether it works out for people or not, then it might be time for me to get a new pair of (cheaper) running shoes and the sensor.

I’m glad Noi bought me the iPod!
