Which Nike product line was created with Apple for tracking runs using an iPod?

The story behind the answer

Nike+iPod was the product line created with Apple for tracking runs using an iPod.

Introduced in 2006, Nike+iPod used a sensor placed inside specially designed Nike shoes and a receiver connected to an iPod nano. The system recorded information such as distance, pace, and calories, then allowed users to review their workouts.

The partnership connected athletic footwear, portable music players, and digital training data at a time when smartphone fitness apps were not yet dominant. It also helped establish the idea that a running shoe could participate in a broader digital ecosystem.

Nike+iPod is not the same as Nike Run Club, which is a later software and community platform. It is also different from Nike FuelBand, a wearable introduced afterward to track broader daily activity rather than focusing primarily on runs through a shoe sensor.
