It did a fatastic job and is a great idea. in the months following, customers have asked for such a device and i show them the nike kit. thumbs up! being a mac specialist at the apple store, i got to honour of Nike coming to our store and letting us test drive it. i thought it was awesome.

It's super easy and workes well for me. I have the adapter for the Nike+ so I can attach it to my non Nike+ shoes. It’s super easy and workes well for me.

Hopefully they'll come up with a decent replacement deal where dead sensors can be replaced for a fee. Until they do, I'd keep my money in my pocket I read that the sensor you slot into your nikes runs on a non-replaceable battery, and they don’t know how long they last.

I went nuts with the kit, the shoes, the armband, etc. A little pricey, but completely worth it... there's 10x more motivation for me to go run when I have it as opposed to when I don't. It's pretty much the best use for an iPod Nano that I have seen thus far. Also, if you don't want to buy the shoes, they have a pouch you can buy for it now, but I actually like the Nike+ shoes.

I'm an old school adidas fan, and I'm hard pressed to give up my new Megabounces for some Shox. I figure you could fit the sensor in the shoe somewhere, but it seems like it would be a lot easier for it to be destroyed.Other than that, I think it's a great idea, like having a trainer for your cardio.

Had to modify the shoes slightly but it was pretty basic. I run fairly often 2 or 3 20k's a year 5 or 6 10k's and a whole bunch of 5k's. Plus just running in the morning. I do a lot of forest running and I just forget where I am or how far I've gone and it's really helpful for reminding me... time to go home :P. If your gonna buy it, don't waste your money on nike's. Especially if you don't like them. The sensor is pretty small anyway and while it's a pain to drill open your shoes, if you have a dedicated pair of running shoes there isn't too much to worry about.

The thing is the Nano is easy to use (of course) holds about 1.74MG, also i can make a picture gallery on it, (of course i put some AppleGeeks pics on it ^.^). The hole nike+ thing...is just a brainwasher so people can buy nike shoes....*cough* nike sucks *cough* hehe. but anyway if you want a cool iPod thats easy to use, really cute small size, and whatnot, I would deff. recomened that you get one.

I bought this early december and it has totally gotten me back into running. The only thing is that i run the hills of SF and it doesn't have an elevation field. I think it's designed to run on flat ground, or a treadmill. I drilled a hole under the sole in my New Balance shoes to fit the reciever and it's like it's not even there (cause everyone knows Nike running shoes suck). Hope this helps dude!!
