Nike Teases Future Collaboration With Apple

Apple and Nike have a long partnership dating back to the Nike+ shoe sensor which could be slipped into specially designed Nike shoes to help log data on your run. In fact the Nike FuelBand wearable was also an exclusive for iOS devices, but now that Nike has exited the physical wearables market and with Apple launching the Apple Watch which doubles as a fitness tracker, what does the future have in store for both companies?

As it turns out Nike is still doing pretty well for themselves. There are over 60 million users of Nike’s apps and it seems that both Nike and Apple are still working on projects together. This was revealed during an interview with CNBC in which Nike’s CEO Mark Parker confirmed that their partnership with Apple is still ongoing and that both companies are still collaborating on things together, although what exactly they are working on remains to be seen.

According to Parker, “We’re excited about the potential of the Apple and Nike relationship.” He also mentions that there is a Nike+ Running app for the Apple Watch. “We’re continuing to develop apps and experiences, and we’re working with Apple and others as well. [There will] be more from Apple and Nike. Two great brands with lots of potential and opportunity.”
