Golf Shoes Discount

With golfers glorying in those hours strolling the long fairways, it's important to invest in shoes with good insoles, support and fit.

If your shoes don't fit, you're miserable, you might compromise on style but not on fit. Golf experts say you should never wear the same pair two days in a row because they need time to breathe. Besides, there's nothing better than putting on clean, dry shoes in the morning.

Preparing to run? Get ready to listen.

Looking for music with a good beat for running or other type of exercise? New from Apple's iTunes Music Store, a "sport music" section with mixes timed to synch with your workout. Load your own music, choose from workout routines or music mixes created and posted by iTune users, or opt for inspirational and coaching voiceovers. Want to do it like the best? Select from playlists recommended by celebrity athletes or learn which is their favorite Power Song—the musical selection they count on when they need that extra kick to close out a workout. You can activate your pre-selected Power Song from iTunes by holding the center button on the iPod when you're ready for that extra boost.
What to wear? Put on your Nike running shirt outfitted with the snug iPod nano pocket and out the door you go.
Nike + iPod Sport Kit


With every stride, the music plays in your ear and the shoe is measuring the distance you've covered, pace, time, even your calorie burn rate. The iPod's wireless receiver intermittently broadcasts your personal stats. If you preset your distance or competitive goals, your shoes will keep you updated on your progress.
Finished? Return to dock the iPod at your Mac or PC computer port. Cool down as the unit automatically uploads the data adding it to your personalized progress log at nikeplus.com. Now you can review your efforts over time by run, by week, or by month using an intuitive graphical interface.
Feeling competitive? The Nike+ iPod network of sites encourages personal goal making and meeting your objectives. It also allows for tracking team efforts and competitions. At nikeplus.com you can connect and compete with up to 50 runners at a time from anywhere in the world.

Next Steps

Nike is planning to introduce six other Nike+ footwear styles this fall along with a range of performance apparel and accessories, including jackets, tops, shorts, and armbands designed to hold the iPod nano, the model resistant to harm from shaking.
iPod will be introducing a voice command mechanism and a gesture interface that uses movement to select songs or adjust volume. Apple has also filed a patent on a capability to change the tempo of music based on the pace of the listener's activity.
The iPod's capability to provide audio and visual display, user control, data storage, and retrieval heralds the way for the development of many more integrated lifestyle, function-assistance processors that are likely to be cheaper, simple, easy to use, and even disposable.
