NIKE STUDIO WRAP: Unwrapped

26/8/2014

Comments

 
Nike Wrap
I did 4 solid years of pilates and whilst I will talk more about that on another occasion, one of the things that were most challenging for me, was to do planks. Not because of my core, but because my feet would slip on the mat. Resulting in me hating any plank type of exercise, but I may have found an awesome solution:


the Nike Studio Wrap and if you are into yoga, pilates, barre or any other type of class that has you bare feet, then read along.
I have always been a Nike fan. Not just because they make great running or cross-fit shoes and neither because of the legendary Jordans. I have been a fan, because I believe that Nike more than any other sportswear brands, really invests a lot of time and research to better their products.  

Nike Free TX Luxe 2.0
I bought a pair of Nike Training Free TR Luxe 2.0 in New York when they came out in 2012, which proved to be a heavens' sent whilst walking through the terrible sidewalks, street and hills of Manhattan, Queens and Harlem. Now, 2 years later they are still perfect and I see myself using them for time to come. This is what I love about Nike, not only did I get a fantastic product that make me feel lighter and comfortable walking or running, but also despite the heavy usage, it lasts!  So when I first heard, quite recently of the Nike Studio Wraps I was, needless to say, interested to know more.

What is the NIKE STUDIO WRAP PACK

The Nike Studio Wrap Pack is a product designed to help you better enjoy exercise that is usually done barefoot. Think yoga, pilates, barre, dance classes they are all requiring to be barefoot and like I mentioned earlier, some of the exercises can become frustrating if you're slipping on the mat or the floor, so Nike came up with this: The NIKE Studio Wrap pack

where to buy the nike studio wrap pack

Even though this product came out at the beginning of 2013 with some reviews even dating to the end of 2012, I have not discovered it until basically, now!

I understand that products get released in different countries at different times, but there was no buzz created around, what I feel is a product that has revolutionized the way a person can do yoga, pilates barre, dance, etc. 

During my research I found a total of THREE blogs in the UAE who spoke about the NIKE Studio Wrap Pack.  I felt overwhelmed by the coverage. Yes, I am being sarcastic! 
There was more coverage in comparison for a Limited Edition collection produced by Nike in collaboration with Japanese artist Yuko Kanatani which launched earlier in 2014 and included a Studio Wrap as part of the look. 

In a city like the one I live, where many women are on a quest for a holistic life, you hear about new yoga, pilates, barre, dance studios and classes opening constantly. I frequented a popular studio in town and which has several branches, for all of last year and part of this and never saw one person from the attendees to the instructors wearing the Nike Studio Wrap. 

Not one, maybe I was too much in my zen zone and I wasn't looking...anyway I guess better later than never, right?
The Studio Wrap and Studio Wrap Pack can be bought at the NIKE Stores in your town. 
I inquired at the Nike Store at The Dubai Mall and the Studio Wrap alone goes for  $62 (229 AED) and the Studio Wrap Pack for $122 (449 AED).

It's higher than at the Nike Online Store, but I am not sure if they deliver directly to this country or not, so as far as I am concerned, I will buy it at the store and get back to work on those planks! 


If you would like to see a review of this product, here's one I liked by Yoga instructor Brett Larking, whose channel I follow on YouTube

What do you think of the NIKE Studio Wrap? Have you used it, or are you thinking of buying it? Let me know below your thoughts.
