I put the sensor under my laces and then wrapped a thin velcro strip (actually a velcro cable tie) under the shoelaces and around the Nike + sensor to hold it in place. The velcro is thin and easily passes under the laces without adding bulk. This keeps the sensor from sliding out of the laces when I run.

Runners and gym rats can all take advantage of the iPod Nano’s small form factor as well as easy user interface. As you saw in our Nike+iPod Hands On, the iPod Nano is best used while wearing Nikes, taking advantage of the Nike+ website to track your distances, times and groin pulls. With the kit, you’ll even be able to see how much you’ve worked out this time, urging you to go a little extra before you crawl home and vomit on yourself in the tub.

First, you can use a Ipod shuffle case strapped to your shoelaces. Second, you can purchase this 10$ special case that is designed to hold the transmitter on any shoes. I have pics of both here: <a href="http://labuda.vox.com/library/post/nikeplus-running-log.html" rel="nofollow">http://labuda.vox.com/library/post/nikeplus-running-log.html</a> Hey Mike, I found two ways to use the kit without the Nike shoes.

I actually bought a nano in advance so that I could buy the nike kit when it came out. I also have not had any problem using the sensor with my adidas running shoes. I simply put the sensor under my laces and put some hockey tape over the top. Eventually I will either buy some nike shoes (they have said that eventually there will be pockets in nearly all nike shoes) or buy a strap for strapping the sensor to the laces. I love the interface tho and my only complaint is that the sensor does not handle abrupt seed changes well so you cannot use the kit for a sprint or "repeats" workout (sprints followed by jogging followed by sprints etc.). I would love a heart rate monitor tho, perhaps built into the armband... I can also vouch for this product. I actually bought a nano in advance so that I could buy the nike kit when it came out.
