A few weeks ago I had never heard of Nike ID, but that all changed when a friend told me to check it out. Nike ID is a web shop that is way cool. You choose a product (mostly shoes, bags, and watches), and then you can customize it to your heart’s content. When you’ve placed your order they manufacture the item(s) and UPS them to you (or, as in my case, to your neighbour). I find it intriguing that they manage to manufacture customized product without charging a fortune.

I would probably not have bought anything had it not been for the price. I don’t know how the price point is in relation to stores, but when I ordered something funky was going on with some of the prices. Mistake or marketing I don’t know, but there was a 90% price cut on a number of shoes. $20 instead of $150, delivered to the door (of my neighbour) is a sweet deal in my book!

Anyhow, if you’re about to buy a Nike product, I can recommend checking Nike ID out first to see if they “stock” the product you want. It is a great feeling to have “designed” your own shoes.

ps. the “yo” is partly due to brain melt down and to the store not accepting “jonas” for some unknown reason.
