Reebok makes life easier for the shoe addicts with the release of their app which allows users to customize the shoe design of their liking, somewhat similar to what the Nike website offers to its users. The app named “Your Reebok” allows you to customize your next potential shoes and allows you to order them online.

The only problem is that this Reebok iPhone app is only available in US and UK territories for now. But if this becomes successful (which seems likely), expect it to go global soon!

A new Apple patent has been discovered. The product described involves the future Nike+ system. In the 20 pages Apple shows how Nike+ is going to evolve in the future. The shoes will have various technological improvements. There’s GPS inside and a processor which would keep track of your performance. You will be able to monitor your results and input things like your weight, age and gender.

Inside there will also be an indicator which will tell you when the shoes are to be replaced. That’s a neat trick for increasing Nike sales wouldn’t you say? If such an “Apple” shoe gets created, we’ll let you know in advanced.
