Nike is honoring NY Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang with his own pair of Nike Air Max 1. Chien-Ming Wang originally from Taiwan pitched in the very first game at the new Yankee Stadium and is currently expecting his first child so his own Air Max 1 will be icing on the cake for the pitcher. The sneaker is made from the the same premium leather as a baseball glove but instead of the usual brown leather, this sneaker features premium white baseball glove leather. Other nice details include his number, #40 on the inner tongue, a play on an image of a pitch into his surname “王” on the top side of the tongue and of course gold baseball like stitching through out the sneaker. Look for this sneaker at Nike Taiwan retailers on Friday, July 10th with a limited worldwide release later on. Via Freshness
