Nike Trainer 1 Chien-Ming Wang PE

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.

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.
