The new Nike+ app, which will launch in June 2016, provides members easy access to Nike’s world of services, including the company’s footwear and apparel, customized recommendations, guided workouts, motivational music mixes and rare invitations.
"The NIKE+ app brings together on demand coaching, a personal store, and amazing experiences, all through one mobile access point," said Mark Parker, President and CEO. "Through NIKE+ we offer training programs that adapt to your changing schedule and performance, syncing performance data directly from the NIKE+ app in a range of partner devices and we send reserve invitations guaranteeing our most coveted sneakers and gear up packs tailored just for you that get you started on a new goal or a new sport."
