Nike's Next Pair Could Reach the Shelf Sooner

Nike has shown again that it can still come up with something new, and a new way of working inside the company, called Pace, is meant to get those new shoes from the drawing board to the shoe wall faster than before. For readers who keep track of what was on whose feet and when, that matters: a shorter wait between first sketch and first sighting means less time between seeing a shoe and owning it. The news is about how the shoes get made and shipped, not one shoe in particular, so a closet-by-closet record could soon have new entries to log. We'll be keeping an eye on the sidewalks.
