Nike Product - Running Trainer

Running shoes that can train you. Wow what an idea and the only company I know that can do that is Nike. In line with their existing product line of running shoes I would like the company to try to develop the ultimate running trainer.

The sole construction would consist of sensors based on air pressure. The air pockets themselves would serve as cushion. The sensors attached to each the air pods would relay information to a central chip. The relay wires can serve as a design to lead to the docking port for the detachable chip. The device can should have some on board memory to load a training schedule. The device can have two or three models, one that emits distinct sounds to correct the foot strike, one model that transmits data to a running watch that gives an image also, and another that transmits images to special goggles.

An alternative to the air pods would be a soul construction embedded with rubber sensors that create a complete color coded image based on foot strike. The image would be in the shape of the foot. As the feet alternate the image would be the same. The on board memory would store the complete running record and could be downloaded to the computer post the run.


The device would come with computer software with configurable running parameters - pace, foot type, ryhthm.
