Makati City, Philippines (April 23, 2009)? Nike today announced that it has created a special edition of its newest innovation, the Nike Trainer 1, in celebration of Manny Pacquiao, the world?s number one pound-for-pound boxer and Filipino pride as he prepares for battle in a highly anticipated event in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 2, 2009. Pacquiao will be one of the world?s first athletes to wear the Nike Trainer 1 as he dedicates himself to a grueling training regimen behind closed doors at the Wild Card Gym with trainer Freddie Roach. The special edition Nike Trainer 1 bears Pacquiao?s identity crest, a distinctive Filipino sockliner marked with a Philippine eagle graphic and the May 2, 2009 date of his bout on the tongue. The special edition Nike Trainer 1 will be packaged in its own themed shoe box. Nike designers drew upon more than two decades of inspiration and knowledge to create the Nike Trainer 1.. Equipped with Nike?s DiamondFLX and Max Air technologies, the shoe is developed to support multi-directional movements and provide impact protection while maintaining premium performance. Made from lightweight synthetics that provide superior protection, the Nike Trainer 1 provides durability and cushioning that speaks volumes about the future of Nike Training and the athletes who passionately represent it. ?We are proud of what Manny Pacquiao has accomplished as a boxer. His passion, determination and skill make him one of Nike?s biggest athletes. The Manny-Nike partnership is now on its fourth year and we continue our commitment through the Nike Trainer 1 to help him prepare for his upcoming fight,? said Mae Dichupa, Nike Philippines Country Marketing Manager.
