Nike Trainer 1 – Chien-Ming Wang PE

Chien-Ming Wang might be the Yankees’ ‘Jared Jeffries‘, but both mediocre stat-guys are getting dope NY-themed PEs.It’s good to be a Yankee. Coming of the franchise’s 27th World Series championships, Nike has already dedicated a Trainer 1 to the legacy of the team, which we saw in detail here.

That wasn’t enough for Chien-Ming Wang though, as the Taiwanese pitcher has received his own PE different from the team’s.Wang is capitalizing on the Yanks’ twenty-seventh World Series championship with another Nike PE.  These split the difference between Wang’s Air Max 1 PE and the recent NYY Trainer 1: it’s a Trainer 1 in the Yankee palette  (notice how the Flywire strands perfectly match the pinstripes on the rear quarter) that prominently features his logo, a ‘King’ character that looks like a literally-fireball-throwing pitcher whirling toward home.

Stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release.Unlike the team PE, these feature a white and silver upper, with pinstripes on the heel panel. The forefoot lace loops use non-Yankee colors, appearing in royal blue, yellow and red. On the heel panel, where the Trainer 1 usually reads “Nike,” and the Yankee PE displayed “New York,” a Taiwanese character has been created out of a mid-pitch silhouette of Wang.
