Review: Nike + iPod Sport Kit plus Armbanr |
NEW YORK (Geared Up Blog) - Finally its here. The full review I promised of the Nike + iPod sports kit. And I have to say, it was worth the wait. This is by far the best add-on you can buy for your iPod Nano, hands down. I know thats a bold statement but for the price and the features it has it truly is an awesome device.

Here’s the box as you get it: not too exciting.

All contents spread out: ditto.

Here is the shoe sensor/transmitter which is supposed to be in the Nike+ shoes that has a little divet under the insole of the shoe but….

As you can see here i put it inbetween my laces and tongue and it works perfectly.

This is the armband by Nike which I really like, adjustable velcro strap and extruding cover over the center button to make it easier to push.

Here’s the back with the “for dummies” instructions.

If you take some time to compare prices before you go to a store or online and buy an MP3 player then you might find that it will help you a lot when choosing an MP3 player for yourself or others.

Jimi if you’re in Ireland, Nike have an outlet shop in Kildare Village Outlets.

Chances are, if it’s an outlet it’s last years stock though…..
Arnott’s in Henry Street are the only people I know that stock much Nike gear.

Sean at Irish Fit has some great stuff but probably not Nike.

Sure Jimi. I haven’t seen the ad but know the top! Got any friends in the US who could get it for you? Otherwise keep an eye out for it on ebay?
i actually do, so its available over there?? sound, my prob is that i cant even find it online to begin with.. so i dont konw what im asking them to get.. my search strategy sucks, nike plus nano holder clothing advert (”,)

(see the little pocket?)
hey jimi
look who’s got a top that incorporates her MP3!
http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/news/article.asp?UAN=2835
and if you look at the video i’m glad to say she even has a little post-pregnancy belly! she is human after all…….
ur like my very own personal shopper (”,)
but sadly it aint either of those, check out the ”Im addicted” ad on the nike site, ((as if uv nothing beter to be doin with ur time eh!!)) i sent u link earlier but maybe it didnt work.. its defo not the bodyglove like orange and blue, those colours dont look right together,,, and it aint the one PlaRdclf has either,,
I think we’r losing the battle here; im hoping ur one of these that wakes up at 4 am thinking, ”ah but of course, now i know where jimi can get that top” lol (**,)
appreciate the help though, i just wish one of you worked in every store i ever went into hahah
no i wake up at 4am for completely different reasons jimi ;-)
and seriously, i really do have nothing better to do than look at links sent in by commenters cos team-geared-up loves that! :-) (I’m at work, what else would I be doing?)
there’s a nike-man runs for rathfarnham-wsaf. maybe if i see him at the next road race I will ask him for you! though i doubt we’ll see those tops here as running gear in this country is so rare but he may know how to source one elsewhere.
i love it when people are as obsessed about their gear as me!
sweet (”,) i hear ya about running gear here, its pretty broing to say the least, the US have it nailed with their track and field stuff.. anwyays i let u get back to work, so should i haha.. take it ez
Hey guys not sure if this is old news but i got all my Nike+ equipment and clothing from JJB Sports. there is also a website that sells a good range of stock
http://www.sport-e.com/rf/spo/navigation/main.do?N=32%204294966812
hope this helps, cheers
Cheers Dan!
That’s ok, I went through the same as you guys did, and couldn’t find anything for ages. The JJB website doesn’t sell the clothing, it’s only in their stores.
I have the long sleeved top that guy is wearing on the Nike plus website. Only problem I found is that the nano is a very tight fit and I was worried I might tear the material trying to get it in.
Can’t beat the Malware Nike plus armband which also allows you to view the nano screen.
Thanks Dan. I don’t wear an iPod while running but I like gear with pockets cos I usually run into or home from work and need a small pocket for phone etc. It’s impossible to run with stuff in a jacket pocket, and who’d want to wear a jacket in the summer? So tight little pockets are cool…..:-)
Hey Dan, i got the nike armband and i absolutely love it BUT, its a bit hit and miss tryin to click between various podcasts to run with,,
iv been tryin to find the marware armband with the screen but can only find the wristband one, is this the one ur talking about and do u just stick it on ur upper arm?? or is there another?? if so could you gizza link for it plz, cheers and also IF ANYONE KONWS WHERE I CAN GET THAT NIKE TOP PLEAZE PLEAZE LET ME KNOW I STILL CANT LOCTAE IT AND NIKE ARE ABSOLUTE SHITE FOR REPLYING TO CUSTOMER QUERIES>>>
Hey Jimi, my malware armband I got off eBay. it goes on the wrist but has an extension that fits on the upper arm. it’s a very good fit and I think is much better than the Nike arm bands. I got mine of eBay

As for the top you are after, the website I linked to before does sell them. They have taken them off their website due to being permanently out of stock. I am not sure when you live Jimi but JJB Sports sell the top you are after! I was in my local store the other night and tried on the one you are after. As I have the long sleeved one but often get to hot in it.
