Nike Zoom Kobe 7 System Supreme revealed with Facebook and NBA 2K12 integration

 

We have already seen images of the "Shark" and "Wolf" colorways of the shoe as part of a "Predator Pack," there are still two more dangerous animals that have yet to be revealed, the "Poison Dart Frog" and the "Leopard."

 

While a Del Sol Supreme version o Air Max 90 f the Kobe 7 is coming on December 22nd, much like the Nike LeBron 9 and previous Kobe models, fans will get a chance to add their own spin with a sneak preview of the NIKEiD module coming to Facebook on December 12th.

 

Also following in the LeBron and Kevin Durant sneaker lines, Kobe's signature shoe will be making its debut in the NBA 2K12 day and date of the sneaker's release on the 22nd.

 

Check out the press release below.

 

Launching December 22, the Nike Kobe VII System Supreme is a performance system allowing players to customize the shoe, switching ankle support and midfoot cushioning. The Nike Kobe VII System Supreme edition includes two interchangeable insert options allowing players to switch out the cushioning and ankle support to match their style of play.

 

If a player's game is based on speed, there is the Attack Fast insert that features a Phylon midsole with Nike Zoom units in the forefoot and heel for the ultimate in lightweight responsiveness. It also has a low cut, power stretch cuff that hugs the foot for support. Its sock like fit eliminates the need for a traditional tongue and innersleeve, keeping the shoe lightweight.

 

For games that get intense and physical in the paint, there is the Attack Strong insert. It offers a full length Cushlon midsole and an ankle cuff for a plush, comfortable ride with great support. The sensory cuffs are made of an engineered power stretch material that is padded and perforated for comfort and ventilation.

 

These two midsole options allow players to customize footwear during practice or in a game to meet their performance needs.

In addition to the customizable insert options, next generation Flywire technology provides lock down support, a 3 D heel clip offers enhanced support, and a glass reinforced composite shank in the midsole gives responsive midfoot support.

Predator patterns comes to life in the cast polyurethane outer shell as a "skin" simulating the look of three predator patterns mixed together the Leopard, Great White Shark and Black Mamba. This raised skin pattern lives on each shoe.

 

Separately, a graphic pattern also lives under the "skin" on some colorways. These color graphics are available for five different predators the Leopard, Great White Shark, Poison Dart Frog and Grey Wolf.

 

NIKEiD will bring full customization to the Kobe VII System this year, featuring multiple ways to build the system. Customization options include choices for fit, cushioning and colors. An exclusive sneak preview of the Kobe VII System iD debuts on December 12 via NIKEiD's Facebook page.

Nike unveils wristband that measures motion Knoxville News Sentinel

 

Nike unveiled a high tech wristband Thursday purporting to answer that question. The FuelBand, with a suggested retail price of $149, displays measures of calories burned and steps taken that many weekend warriors may be familiar with through gadgets and apps already on the market. But this device also counts something called N Air Max Rea ikeFuel, billed as a way to compare different activities through one metric.

 

Running, dancing, skateboarding they all earn these points.

 

Nike measured the intensity of various actions, and recorded the corresponding motions, to create formulas to determine how much NikeFuel should be awarded when, say, Durant shoots a basketball.

 

Scientists who study physical activity have been using a similar process with such devices, called accelerometers, for several years to measure how much energy subjects are expending. Nike isn't releasing details about its calculations for competitive reasons, so outside researchers in the field couldn't judge whether they considered the NikeFuel totals accurate.

 

NikeFuel doesn't take into account factors such as a person's weight that affect the number of calories used. Patty Freedson, the chair of the kinesiology department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, said that made it difficult to compare the activities of different people.

 

"If a person is moving a certain amount and they weigh 100 pounds, a 200 pound person who weighs more actually expends more energy," she said.

 

Joel Stager, director of the Counsilman Center for the Science of Swimming at Indiana University, also noted that some athletes are more efficient than others, which also affects the amount of energy expended.

 

"We're making everybody equal the whole point is everybody isn't equal," he said.

 

Wojtek Chodzko Zajko, the department head for kinesiology and community health at the University of Illinois, said all accelerometers have some error of estimation.

 

"The best ones are quite accurate," he said. "The worst ones are basically pieces of junk."

 

In most of Freedson's research, she uses accelerometers attached to subjects' hips, which she believes is a better measure of movement than the wrist. The FuelBand won't work when Armstrong is cycling because such devices can't tell the difference between a person moving forward in a car or on a bike. It's not waterproof, so swimming can't earn points.

 

The FuelBand a flexible black strip with a single button weighs between .95 and 1.24 ounces depending on the size. It syncs with the Nike+ workout tracking website through a built in USB or wirelessly through Bluetooth to a free iPhone app.

 

Users can set a goal of how many points they want to earn in a day and compare their totals with friends through social networking. At the launch event Thursday in Manhattan attended by Armstrong, Durant and reigning 100 meter world champion Carmelita Jeter and hosted by comedian Jimmy Fallon Nike executives promoted the wristband as a way to encourage people to be more active. The desire to earn points could motivate them in ways big and small, even if it's just taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

 

"There's no doubt people are better at exercising if they have a partner or are in a group. Certainly they're better at exercising if there's competition," said Dr. Andrew Gregory, an assistant professor of orthopedics and pediatrics and sports medicine specialist at Vanderbilt. "In general, if this creates competition and social interaction around exercise, that's a good thing."

 

Then again, he believes the same effect can be created w ith a $15 pedometer that counts your steps.

 

Plenty of people were willing to pay the FuelBand's price tag Thursday, when the initial pre order sold out. Nike may later make more available through pre order, which would be announced on Twitter, before the device hits stores Feb. 22.

 

The appeal of the wristband to the company goes beyond sales of the gadget, said Charlie Denson, president of the Nike brand. A positive experience using the FuelBand's functions may make customers more likely to buy Nike sneakers and T shirts.

 

"One of the things we are continuing to see especially with our target consumer, our 14 , 15 , 16 year old it's not just about a transaction," he said. "In fact, the brands that believe the relationship actually ends when the transaction takes place, they aren't going to be around very long. The consumer expectation has moved up considerably around this idea that there's a relationship there. They expect it to be a one on one relationship, a one on one dialogue."

poor showing at Masters could mean major things in store for McIlroy

 

AUGUSTA, Ga. Open favourite.

 

The world's No. 2 player tied for 25th at the Masters on Sunday, finishing 11 shots behind winner Adam Scott. The last two times McIlroy left Augusta National disappointed, he went on to collect majors later in the season. Open in record fashion. He plummeted off the Augusta National leaderboard on Saturday last year, then picked up the PGA Championship in August.

 

"I'll take any," the Northern Irishman s Air Max Rea aid. "I feel like my game's definitely heading in the right direction, I'm hitting all the shots. It's just a matter of committing to them all the time."

 

McIlroy conceded earlier in the week that the adjustment to his new clubs which came as part of a huge endorsement deal with Nike had taken some time. But he said his driving had improved greatly and he was gaining confidence with every round he played.

 

The clubs weren't his problem this week, McIlroy said. In fact, if not for a 10 hole stretch Saturday in which he dropped eight strokes, he could have been right there in the hunt with Scott and Angel Cabrera.

 

"If I didn't play that bad stretch of holes like that, I would be a few under par and I would be right in the mix," McIlroy said. "But I'm on the right track going forward. I'm comfortable with my golf game. The equipment hasn't been an issue all year, it was more just me. So I'm happy where I'm heading and I've got a few really good events coming up I'm looking forward to those."

 

He's looking forward to coming back to the Masters, too.

 

Though his results don't show it, McIlroy has proven he knows how to play this course. His 3 under 69 on Sunday matched the third best score of the day. In the last three years at Augusta, he's had only four rounds above par.

 

"I know I've played good enough golf here to win it at times, it's just a matter of stringing it all together in one week," he said. "I'm learning each and every year around here. And I still got plenty of more years to try and get one of those jackets."NOT CLOSE ENOUGH: There were no tears from Brandt Snedeker this time.

 

Not from him, anyway.

 

The third round co leader was more frustrated than distraught after blowing another chance at the Masters, the tournament he's dreamed of winning since he was kid. So unflappable over the first three days, Snedeker couldn't make a putt Sunday, shooting a 3 over 75 that left him tied for sixth.

 

"I'm not as crushed as I was in 2008 because I know I'm going to be there again," Snedeker said as his 2 year old daughter, Lily, cried behind him. "I putted about as poorly as I could today, and I still had a chance on the back nine. I'm very disappointed that I didn't win, but I realize that I'm not that far off from winning this thing.

 

"I'm going to do it soon."

 

One of the lingering images of the 2008 Masters was Snedeker sobbing uncontrollably after a dismal final round that included only six pars. It was his first Masters as a professional, and he was just two years removed from the Nationwide Tour. But he had played so poorly after wanting the green jacket so badly, and he was overcome with emotion afterward.

 

But Snedeker, despite his youthful looks, isn't so wide eyed anymore.

 

He won the Tour Championship last year, beating Rory McIlroy. There was a three week stretch earlier this season when he was the hottest player in golf, finishing second to Tiger Woods at the Farmers, second to Phil Mickelson in Phoenix and capping the run with a win at Pebble Beach.

 

"I'm not here to get a good finish," he said Saturday. "I'm not here to finish top five. I'm here t o win, and that's all I'm going to be focused on tomorrow."

 

He just never had it Sunday. After scratching his way through the front, he opened the back nine with two straight bogeys, including a miss from 3 feet on 10, to fall three strokes off the lead. With the two par 5s still to play, however, he wasn't out of it.

 

Then he put his approach shot on 13 in Rae's Creek. As the ball splashed into the water, Snedeker grimaced and bent both ends of his hybrid club, looking as if he wanted to snap it.

 

He managed to save par, only to make bogey on the 14th.

 

"If I putt the way I normally putt and don't make those two loose swings, I'm right there with a chance to win the golf tournament," Snedeker said. "I know that if I do that again, play the exact same way again and I putt the way I normally do, I got a chance."G'DAY MATES: It was a g'day for all the Australians.

 

Not only did Adam Scott win the Masters on Sunday, ending the country's agonizing drought at Augusta National, Jason Day and Marc Leishman gave Australia three golfers in the top four.
