Nike releases new Pacquiao gear
MANILA, Philippines - Champions like Manny Pacquiao are not born but made through endless hours of training. Pacquiao trains in the new Nike Trainer 1.2, which is a main feature of Nike’s 2010 Manny Pacquiao apparel collection. The Nike Trainer 1.2 comes in two colorways: the red colorway and the limited-edition gold colorway with only less than 400 pairs in the country.
Nike designers customized the Trainer 1.2 (black/red P4,995) with Pacquiao-inspired elements like the meteor print that appears on the insole of the shoe. The meteor represents speed, power and destruction an appropriate metaphor for Pacquiao’s left arm, where the tattoo resides. The red colorway honors the Philippines while the outsole and sheen on the shoe symbolize the heat of a meteor as it enters the earth’s atmosphere.
