Nike has teamed up with Apple to create a new line of products designed specifically to work with the iPod. New shoes sold under the Nike+ label will wirelessly provide information on your workout stats to your iPod nano. The information — which includes time, distance, calories burned, and pace — can be accessed real-time on-screen and through the device’s earbuds. Workout data may also be tracked online at nikeplus.com.

The initiative will also include specially designed clothing that incorporates a water-proof pouch for the iPod.

To get up and running with the service you’ll need an iPod Nano, a Nike+ shoe, and a Nike+iPod Sport Kit. The kit should be available within 60 days. It is expected to be priced at $29. The first Nike+ shoe to be available is the Nike Air Zoom Moire.

More info can be found at nikeplus.com.
