Nike Air Trainer 1 x Manny Pacquiao, Adrian Peterson
If the Nike Air Trainer 1 collaborated with Anthony Carter, it would officially be the greatest shoe of all time. Right now, it’s on the cusp. Nike has already created exclusive makeups for some of the sweetest athletes in the universe: Manny Pacquiao, Adrian Peterson, Brandon Roy, Larry Fitzgerald, and Troy Polomalu. Add AC in there and it’d be a sealed deal.
The Pacquiao collab is the red/white shoe above. It’s release is pretty limited.
A release date is set for May 2nd with 200 pairs created. 100 pairs will be given to Manny as friends & family giveaways while the rest will be retailed through UNDFTD, Fatlace, Niketown SF and Las Vegas.
Here is the Adrian Peterson makeup. Though I’m partial to AD, I think that Pacquiao’s colorway is nicer. The black and purple really works only if you’re a Viking.
I’ve clearly made my push for the Anthony Carter makeup, but don’t you think that these kicks would look phenomenal in a Nuggets colorway? Instead of the Manny Pacquiao logo on the back of his shoes, a nice “ABC” (for Anthony Bernard Carter) logo would work even better.

manny pacquiao is an arrogant dimwit. He embarrasses the rp to other countries. compared to lang lang of china, pacman does not fit to be a hero.

@Kimbie
Please enlighten us.
I’m Filipino, and although Pacquiao is very wrongly regarded as a hero (what the hell has he done except win boxing matches and give politicians votes from illiterate voters?) here, he has put the Philippines on the map.

Where’s Nike’s Floyd Mayweather Jr’s model? He SAID he is the best P4P boxer that ever lived.

Kimbie, you’re an idiot. Pacquiao is one of the most humble boxers in the history of the sport.

He may be hardup in speaking english when he’s on cam… But say, how about asking mayweather or any american for that matter trying to say a few words in Filipino? Hell, the TV commentators are don’t even know how to pronounce Donaire’s name (Do-nay-re)
