In the middle of June we brought you a look at a pair of the Nike Air Max 1 Premium designed in part as an effort to commemorate the accomplishments of the Taiwanese MLB pitcher Chien-Ming Wang. Nike decided to do the same thing again, except this time using the Nike Air Trainer 1- which was also recently used to celebrate another MLB pitcher in Yu Darvish. Wang’s Nike Air Trainer 1 comes in a New York Yankees blue/white/silver colorway and dons the team’s pinstripes. After the jump you can check out detailed photographic accounts of this shoe, which still may or may not release to the general public.

While Nike has experienced a great amount of success with the “Bo Knows” campaign, which includes an Oakland Raiders colorway of the Nike Air Trainer 1, the brand is well aware of the fact that with new times come new superstars. Using the aforementioned Nike Air Trainer 1 silhouette, Nike is now celebrating the efforts of offensive juggernaut Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals and defensive beast Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fitzgerald’s pair of PEs come in Cardinals red/grey/white, while Polamalu’s are decked out in Steelers yellow/black/white. These are both available now through Nike’s online store, but for how long nobody can say.

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.
