Fast Company provides us with an exclusive look at the first-ever Fuelband prototype presented to Nike CEO Mark Parker back in 2010.

Developed by a secret team of 13 back in 2010, the first Nike Fuelband prototype takes inspiration from a traditional tennis sweatband and features E-Ink technology in "performance color." Parker immediately saw it as a "Smart" version of the iconic Livestrong band with its sleek and simple design, and quickly approved the product into development and production.
