Nike’s giant LED screen in Johanesburg has people Tweeting support for their favorite World Cup stars
Posted on June 21, 2010 | No CommentsLooks like Nike is up to quite a bit more in South Africa than making sure Landon Donovan (and the rest of Team USA) is well-dressed while taking first place in Group C. (Fingers crossed!) I just got word that the company has constructed the biggest interactive LED screen in the whole of Africa. It's on the Life Centre skyscraper that's in Johannesburg. Now, what would you want to do with an giant interactive LED screen in the middle of a major city?

Posted on June 7, 2010 | No CommentsNike and Polar (the heart rate monitor people) have just introduced the Polar WearLink+ that connects your Polar gear to the Nike+ iPod pedometer. The heartrate band sends data to the same program that controls the distance and speed data sent from the Nike+ footpod. Obviously Polar makes all sorts of running and walking gear already, [...] -
UK misses out on Nike World Cup ad, Rooney red-hot with anger (maybe)
Posted on May 24, 2010 | No CommentsThat Nike World Cup ad I mentioned the other day has aired, I think, 800 million times over the past few days on TV. I know I saw it at least once during the Champions League final at the weekend (which Inter thoroughly deserved to win). But get this: the very first time the ad aired in the UK the final six seconds of the ad never made it on the air! Someone's getting fired...

Video: Nike proves once and for all the world needs a bearded Rooney
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No CommentsWe’re about three weeks away from the beginning of the World Cup. You know this because I’ve mentioned it over and over again since 2008. Fancy Adidas this, super-advanced Nike that. And so on. Today’s edition: a three-minute Nike advert that was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (of “Babel” fame). Even if you have no [...] -

Posted on May 11, 2010 | No CommentsClose readers will have noticed that A) I write quite a bit about soccer+technology but B) never about Team USA. Messi this, Cristiano Ronaldo that.

Nike Sense technology automatically adjusts stud length in your soccer boots. Hey, if it’s good enough for Cristiano Ronaldo!
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No CommentsFortune smiled upon me a few days ago, giving me the chance to check out Adidas' new equipment that'll be used during the World Cup. It was fun. Nike, on the other hand? Well, apparently the company hates us for reasons I'll never understand, so I had to find out about its new boots, also to be used in the World Cup, via some other site. I mean, come on!

Create and order personalized Nike sneakers straight from your iPhone
Posted on October 22, 2009 | No Comments
Sportswear giant Nike has a nifty application in the App Store that allows you to create custom sneakers and order them straight away, with just a couple of taps. The app is in fact a mobile extension of NIKEiD, a program that allows customer to order personalized Nike shoes straight from the manufacturer. And an excellent extension it is.
The free app (iTunes link) has been available on the App Store since the beginning of this month, but surprisingly there hasn't been a lot of coverage about it. Even despite this excellent video about it (embedded below).

Posted on October 1, 2009 | No CommentsAndrés Iniesta is a good footballer. Cesc Fàbregas is a good footballer. Need I say more? Yes, actually, I do for it to make sense here. Nike has some fancy new soccer boot that's it's launching aside an interactive digital training tool that you can use on a Web site, or on your iPhone or iPod touch. Very exciting.
