Users will receive this notification via headphones from a digital voice and data after a long trip can be downloaded to the PC or Macintosh.

Air Zoom Moire and Air Zoom are the first products in this line to be introduced by the giant shoe company. The partnership with Nike marked a new step for Apple in engaging new customers to their mobile entertainment devices.

The two companies also do other things besides music to serve customers, including a marathon athlete's advice, Alberto Salazar, or a spirited encouragement voice from Lance Armstrong cycling champion.

By this fall, Nike plans to release 6 more touch-sensitive shoes. In the long run, customers can expect Nike - iPod combinations in clothing such as jackets, hats, armbands and shorts.

The $ 29 Sport Kit sensor requires a pair of Nike and iPod nano shoes with a USB 2.0 port. Sport Kit can download data to Mac OS using OS X version 10.9.9 or later, iTunes 6.0.5 or PC using Windows 2000, XP and iTunes 6.0.5.
