Nike knew this would happen from the start.

Think about it, The system is designed to give Nike stats about runners so they can make better shoes.

When people upload their stats nike knows more about the current runners and can design better shoes. This type of research would normally cost millions.

I guess I don’t need new shoes.

This is just what I need. Nike+ shoes only come in one standard width, they have nothing wide enough for me. I wear New Balance 882 shoes in size 13EEEE, now I don’t have to mess them up to attach the sensor pod.

The strap actually costs $18.11.  The freaking thing sells for $9.95 plus $8.16 for Ground shipping (cheapest option).

Skip this product! They’ve made pouches like this for years. Normally they are bigger to hold keys, etc. But they cost about $3-5 at any shoe/sneaker/sporting goods store. And no shipping charges!

This is a brilliant idea by Marware. (because as an iPod add on, more poeple will read about it)

Not everybody likes Nike shoes- the fit or the price. I prefer Newbies all the way.

i don’t have a nike sport kit just- but now i’m thinking hard

I am going to just get the pouch for me keys that ties to my laces. I am going to secure the Ekin + in there and get going!

I like this!  While I do feel $8 for shipping for such a small item seems a lot, Joonas is right: Nike+ shoes would cost a lot more.

I think I will get the Nike+ kit, now that this item is avail.

Save your $10 (or is it $18?).

Right after the Nike+iPod kit came out, Podophile.com posted a cheap and easy DIY “shoe hack” that lets you use the kit with any running shoe.

Nike also sells a small shoe wallet for $8 that attaches to your laces and works with the Sport kit. It’s available now. It’s also reviewed on Podophile.com.

I opted for the shoes and am now a Nike fan (for life). The shoes are great and worth the $ IMHO

Hi. Eric Prentice, CEO of Dr. Bott LLC here. I just wanted to comment about the $18 cost (including shipping) reported by another poster. The short answer is that you should visit your local reseller and make sure they they will be carrying the product (you can use the find a reseller function on our site.)

At Dr. Bott, we’re all about supporting our resellers and you will find that it should always a better deal to get our products through your local reseller. Purchasing from our site directly is an option but you will find that we never offer special pricing and always charge shipping (based on UPS standard rates shipping from our warehouse in Oregon).

I hope this helps.

Eric (from Dr. Bott) . . .

I ordered this from your web site today. I wonder if you would be kind enough to indicate to all of us when you anticipate that this item will ship.

Thank you.

Hi John-Mark,

Thanks for the order. We expect them to be shipping this month. We don’t normally pre-announce products but we thought this one was cool enough that it merited an announcement.

My wife, was really excited about an excuse to buy a new pair of Nikes, thanks to Marware I don’t have to!

Does any one know where I can buy the red shoes used in this ad? What brand and model are they? They are awesome.
