Who would’ve thought of marrying a pair of shoes to an iPod? But it’s the kind of thing that makes you go “why didn’t I think of that?”. Slip a sensor into any Nike+ compatible shoe, and it’ll start sending data to your iPod Nano via a receiver. With data of your jogging speed, your iPod will pick suitable tracks to play. It also tells you how far you are from your destination, what speed you are running at and how long you took to complete the course. You can even play a “power” song for that last dash to the finish line.

That’s not all. Plug your iPod into its dock, and it’ll send your jogging information to the new NikePlus.com website, which keeps track of your progress.

Here’s a video of the pair in action.

Who knows, this might be the perfect motivation for me to get back to jogging.
