Pressed on whether that indicated a cobranded something coming out from Nike and Apple the CEO refused offer much in the way of comments, just the two companies are still working together and he’s excited about what’s to come.
Pressed as well on whether Nike was going software only for wearable tech rather than the software hardware combo it’s run to this point the CEO refused offer much in the way of comment.
