2012 is about making it “count”, getting your rear into gear and itemizing every single movement of your body into athletic motion and putting it toward the greater goal of improving your overall self. The Nike+ program began by integrating a data-recording system for running, counting steps and heart rates for the serious runner, but for the serious basketball player, Nike+ now introduces a new technology to zero in on performance and movements specific to the sport by monitoring not only speed, but also vertical elevation and overall intensity of a workout through integrated technology at various data-gathering centers on the sole. Nike+ Training introduces a hardcore workout for the athlete with purpose; with specific programs consisting of a series of short, sharp workouts designed for maximum fitness, speed and strength, each modeled workout is demonstrated on-screen to provide guidance and motivation – like a futuristic virtual personal trainer. The results from each day’s workout are then delivered right to your phone where you can keep track of your progress and even share and compare your data with friends and others via social media.
Nike+ Training will be introduced by Mark Parker with some of the world’s premier athletes who have succeeded at the highest levels of their sports like all-world boxer Manny Pacquiao, Superbowl Champion Victor Cruz, and world-class sprinter Allyson Felix. The new Nike+ technology was summed up best by LeBron James, who will wear the shoe this summer in the Olympic Games: “Giving every player access to this level of information will have a huge impact on the way players train and play the game.” There’s nothing like a little motivation through self-improvement to take your game to the next level, so being able to gauge your daily output in tangible numbers provides a revolutionary innovation in the world of sports training that’s sure to pay dividends for those who take advantage. The new Nike+ technology will be featured in the entire Nike LunarLon+ Collection, which includes the Nike Hyperdunk+, the Lunar Hyper Workout+ and Lunar TR1+, all of which will release on June 29th. Stay tuned for an event recap of the unveiling of the new Nike+ technology and let us know your thoughts on this new state-of-the-art advancement!

“I GOT A RING!”
Superbowl Champion Victor Cruz was recently spotted in New York City at a special event with R&B artist Ashanti sharing a moment of salsa dancing, a dance that has become alarmingly popular ever since Victor first shimmied his feet during the 2011 regular season. Cruz revealed during interviews that the salsa dance is actually a special tribute to his mother, and he recently celebrated the birth of a new-born baby, so you know the salsa-dancing wide receiver is as much of a family man as he is a champion. Cruz is also gaining some press as a sneakerhead, as he preceded this White/Cement IV sighting with the LeBron 9 ‘Christmas’ during the parade on Tuesday. Take a look at Cruz’s White/Cement IVs after the jump and let us know what you think! via necolebitchie

Move aside, Melo, STAT, Tyson, Jeter, Callahan, Gaborik, etc. – there is no hotter New York team athlete than Victor Cruz, the undrafted free agent turned electrifying superstar Wide Receiver for the New York Giants. After putting up outstanding numbers in the Division-clinching game against the Dallas Cowboys, Victor Cruz treated himself to courtside seats to last night’s Knicks/Raptors contest, drawing applause from the crowd and practicing his signature salsa TD dance with Knicks reporter Jill Martin. Cruz was seen wearing the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, but don’t mistake him for wearing what’s ‘hot’, because he’s been in the sneaker game for quite some time. Check out Cruz and his Concords after the jump and let us know if you think the Giants have what it takes to repeat their Superbowl XLII glory. via ESPN.
