Nice conceptual project from designer Michael Robinson in the form of Nike+ 26 shoes. Robinson has identified that while we can now collect all sorts of data while running, thanks to pedometers and heart-rate monitors, we don't usually make that data public. His Nike + 26 prototype use marathon spikes with 26 lights in them. For every mile you run, a light turns on, creating an info-graphic of the wearer's progress in a marathon. Nike have approached a slew of designers and asked them to re-purpose a pair of Nikes for an exhibition to be shown later in the year.
