All Nike Sneakers to Get iPod Connectivity

Now that the spring thaw is well under way up here, it's getting so that you can't take two steps without bumping into a jogger or wannabe track star. Which might be why Nike has decided that now would be a good time to announce that by the end of the year, all of their running shoes will feature Nike+ technology.

To recap, in case you didn't read our stories from last year: The Nike + iPod Sport Kit pairs a sensor in your shoe and a wireless receiver connected to your iPod Nano. The sensor keeps track of your progress, and relays it to your Nano, which provides you with feedback through your headphones. If you were fashion conscious, you had to organize your running wardrobe around the limited selection of the Nike+ shoes that had the sensors built in. Now you'll be able to get those purple sneaks you always wanted and still stay in shape technologically.
