Apple and Nike reportedly developing a ‘smart band’ with gesture controls

nike Nike has decided against making wearable hardware, CNET reports, as the popular sportswear company has fired the majority of FuelBand employees. Instead, Nike will focus on software in the future, with the rumored slimmer FuelBand having been canceled.

nike shoe “As a fast-paced, global business we continually align resources with business priorities,” Nike spokesman Brian Strong told the publication. “As our Digital Sport priorities evolve, we expect to make changes within the team, and there will be a small number of layoffs. We do not comment on individual employment matters.”

Some of the team members will be staying on at Nike until May, but it’s not clear whether the former FuelBand team members will join other Nike divisions. The Nike Digital Tech division that works on the Web software for the FuelBand has not been affected by the move.
