Nike Basketball

Back in high school or even college when I was still capable of running the hardwood, I think I would have sold blood to purchase a pair of hoops kicks like the new Nike Hyperdunk+. Partially for the LeBron-meets-TRON design, but more so for the technology embedded within these Lunarlon cushioned sneakers. Inside are Nike+ sensors which give even gravitationally-limited individuals like myself vertical leap measurements and total steps taken while wearing the shoes, all beautifully presented with an accompanying Nike+ Basketball app. Seems like a fun way to motivate yourself and reconnect with the youthful challenge of jumping "just a little higher".
