Nike recently released a very special Air Trainer 1 in commemoration of Manny Pacquiao’s “Lights Out” performance in the boxing ring against Ricky Hatton. Now, the brand has prepared a second Nike Air Trainer 1 pictured here, in a rather “American” red/white/blue colorway. Much like the “Lights Out” pair, there are graphics that run through the mid panels and heel of this Nike Air Trainer 1, while slight yellow accents exist on places such as the stitching and around the patented Nike swoosh. This shoe is being released as part of the “Under the Hood” event that aims to give followers a closer look at the man behind the boxing gloves and shorts, as he prepares to set a record by aiming for his 7th title, each in 7 different weight classes. For more pictures and details about the event, check us out after the jump.

By now, it should be quite clear that there is something about the performance of a Nike Air Trainer 1 that has made it popular among many athletic circles. So, whether you’re wearing them to represent for New York City, to train in, or simply look good, a pair of Nike Air Trainer 1 is sure to turn some heads. Now, we have also discovered that the Ducks of Oregon have received special treatment by way of the Nike Air Trainer 1 pictured here that dons the team’s colors. While these are done up in materials such as a smoked nubuck upper and patent leather overlays, don’t expect it to be all that possible to snag a pair of these. So far, only the Oregon football team is known to be in possession of a good amount of these. In other words, keep dreaming… BUT enjoy the teaser pix after the jump.

Two spring seasons ago, Nike directly paid homage to the world class tennis player John McEnroe with a black Zoom Tennis Trainer. Now, after seeing athletes like Adrian Peterson and Bo Jackson get the Nike Air Trainer 1 treatment, Nike is set to remind us that “Mac (also) Knows.” Pictured here is a Nike Air Trainer 1 made up in a mostly light grey/white/black colorway with tennis ball green accents on places such as the Nike swoosh’s outline and the shoe’s insole. This pair will also release as early as next week, along with the “Bo Knows” release. This almost BEGS the question- which Nike Air Trainer 1 “knows” better than the other what the sneakerheads will gravitate towards? Is either colorway or the other a great consolation prize?

It was all the way back in May when we first brought you a look at a Nike Air Trainer 1 made in commemoration of Bo Jackson and his athletic achievements. But we got such an early look at the shoe that rumors ran wild about the exclusivity of this shoe- leaving most people to deal with the cruel “reality” that this could be a 1-of-a-kind production. But no need to fret- we now have word that the “Bo Knows” Nike Air Trainer 1 will be hitting select FootLocker locations as soon as next week. Naturally, the shoe comes in Oakland Raiders silver & black, but also has other touches specific to Bo Jackson’s career- such as what appears to be an OG baseball video game rendition of the superstar that transcended so many sports. You will NOT want to sleep on these, as they will not only be limited, but also sell like hot cakes.

“I want to thank Good Lord for making me a Yankee,” said Joe Dimaggio. Such is true, as the whole New York Yankees team received exclusive Nike Air Trainer 1s in a sweet NY Yankees colorway. The Nike Air Trainer 1 is decked out in Yankee blue at the toebox and flywire panel. White contrasts the dark blue at the toe, swoosh, and inner lining. New York makes its name at the back heel and tongue tag. The insole commemorates the retired numbers of the Yankee greats. On the opposite side of the tongue tag sports the Yankees logo and the aforementioned quote by Dimaggio. Too bad this is a team exclusive, because these would be great additions to any Yanks fan.
