New Nike + SportBand Hits the Market 7/15
By Chris Weiss
It’s not quite a watch and not quite a heart monitor; it’s the new Nike + SportBand, which will be available this Wednesday for $59. The light, sleek wristtop provides performance data such as calories burned, distance, time and pace. The latest version includes a lighter background to enhance the visibity of readings and an improved weatherproof case. New color schemes include the grey with pink, dark with yellow and black with red. Not sure if either of the two pictured above will appeal to any heterosexual males that don’t wear short shorts, but Nike’s decided to throw those two out there and leave the black and red one behind. In a less questionable move, Nike has helped reduce redundant corporate clutter by merging NikePlus.com and NikeRunning.com. [via Crunch Gear]
