Whoa.... that is way cool! I think you need one of these too!

BTW, where have you been!!!??? Did I read somewhere that you came out of retirement?

Wow, that's really cool. I guess if you weren't a big Nike fan (or a good Nike fit) you'd be stuck with a HRM + footpod though.

Interesting. Now if they would only develop cordless earbuds.....

If only they made a sport case for the Nano as nice as the one for the Shuffle...

Unfortunately Nike had a big goof up several years back and I haven't bought Nike since (I personally wouldn't mind if Nike went away). I do have to admit that is a cool toy. Hope someone else comes out with somrthing similar.

Don't like Nike?

Here's the anti-Nike.

If you click on the picture you can link to the info on Black Spots, and see their spiffy sneakers, too. (I can do without the boots)

SKnot and I want to get Black Spots when next we need sneaks.

Sorry to hijack the thread.... can't help but prosleytize.... Nike gets up my nose just a leeeeetle bit...

PS I used to wear converse all-stars, but Nike bought Converse. I love that Nike still advertises Converse as rebellious and anti-corporate (!).

Funny, there's nothing on Converse's site about that, even in their press releases for 2003. Boo! Apparently Nike also owns Bauer, Hurley International, and the Starter brands, too.

Hey knottedyet,

I would love to get myself a pair of the blackspot shoes...I know the Oxfam shop here in Perth sells them but just haven't bought a pair....

I too don't like nike...

I wish Ipods would come with a sensor that tells the person there's a BIKE behind them and MOVE OVER!!! grrrrrrr...I often just want to run the runner with an ipod over...just MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!!!

*ahem*

I can't get into Trek either because at one time I heard that they had someting to do with Nike. I'm glad that I am not the only one that thinks the Nike factory could burn and the world be a better place for it.
