NEW YORK (AP) -- Ever wonder how high you can jump?
New shoes from Nike will not only answer that question, they'll help you share the info with your friends on social media.
Using a pressure sensor, Nike's new Hyperdunk+ basketball shoes will measure data about how high a wearer jumps, as well as how hard and quick they play, giving a basis for improvement.
In one mode, the shoes can record the data from a basketball dunk to video, which can then be shared on social networks. New Lunar Hyper Workout+ cross-training shoes will track data about how well a wearer does on certain workouts provided on a mobile app.
The technology expands Nike+ technology offerings. It has a similar program for running, which tracks how far runners go. First launched in 2006, that program now has 6 million members.
Nike+ technology-equipped basketball and training shoes will be available starting June 29.
