Need any more proof that Nike+ is cool? The GPS data pulled from your Nike+ SportWatch system has now been turned into art. Interactive media collective YesYesNo are to blame for the artistic hoo-hawing. The collective pulled data straight from Nike’s servers and began collating them into patterns.
Best of all? The art is individualized. You see, the collective did one runner at a time. They pulled all of their data, distance, speed, where they went etc. Then they transformed the data into an image like the one shown above. Each user of the system has their own unique art.

Nike is all about GPS-integration, and now you can get some of it on the cheap. The company’s Nike+ SportWatch GPS watch is on sale for just $199. The device is partnered up with TomTom for all the GPS love you can shake a satellite stick at.
Basically, this is a watch that keeps tracks of your runs. It works similarly to the Nike+ iPod systems that are floating around but these devices are better for serious runners who don’t want to run the risk of breaking their beloved smartphone. It keeps tracks of your history and records and will also give you an alarm when it’s time to start cooling down.
The units are already available at the pleasantly reduced cost.

It’s cute when companies become besties isn’t it? Nike and Polar are well on their way, with the announcement that the two companies have teamed up to bring us the WearLink+ heart rate monitor for Nike+.
This is, obviously, compatible with the rest of the Nike+ gear and will show your BPM heart rate Nike+ sportband, or via audio cues on your iPod Nano. It also features a soft chest strap that both companies say will not be noticed.
This machine washable strap will be available soon for $69.95. Not bad for all of that, um, fitness.
