Chien-Ming Wang x Nike Air Max 1 Premium

Chien-Ming Wang, a Taiwanese  pitcher who is currently playing for the New York Yankees, recently teamed up with the folks over at Nike to design a new colorway of the Air Max 1. This time around, the AM1 host a white premium leather upper with black accents seen on the mid-sole and inner tongue, while gold accents are visible via the stitching, heel, out-sole, and lace holes. A couple key features of this pair include the baseball-like stitching which goes around the whole sneaker as well as the inner tongue which yields Wang’s jersey number, 40. The “Chien-Ming Wang” Nike Air Max 1 Premium is expected to release in Taiwan on July 10, while U.S. retailers will be receiving their shipments later this year.

  1. TAIWANESE, not CHINESE. Also the print on the tongue resembles the shape of the chinese character "WANG".

  2. d*mn man i love that theyre tryna show some love to wang but the way hes been pitchin lately he hardly deserves it =/

  3. Too bad he's having the worst year of his career..he sucks big time. It's an ugly shoe anyway

  4. could use a bit more color, feels a bit OD on the white. Baseball stitches are great though. Good look.
