An integral part of the New York Yankee’s starting bull-pen, pitcher Chien-Ming Wang had the honor of pitching from the mound at Yankee stadium’s inaugural game. As the pride of Taiwan and a popular Taiwanese figure, Wang was given the opportunity to create and customize his very own Air Max 1 Premium. The result doesn’t stray far from his baseball roots as he combines premium leathers with a symbolic baseball stitching in gold. Subtle and understated hints to his place with the Yankees can be seen via navy #40 embroidery. Rounding out the design are a silhouette of Wang lasered into the tongue and a translucent gold outsole. The shoe will launch on Friday, July 10th at select retailers of Nike in Taiwan with a global release soon after.

    there ok but the stitch could have been done better, perhaps just the back half of the shoe or near the eyeletts or around the swoosh or something. the lines the stitches make done compliment the sole at all, there kind of awkward to look at. these may have come out better as a dunk or something else.

    1) The pitching silhouette logo failed to appear as an honest Wang character: 丕 ≠ 王 (Wang);

    2) Stitch idea is too predictable and getting a bit tired to me;

    3) If you hide something that well on the INSIDE OF THE TONGUE, might as well use a pin-up picture, or something. (e.g. Wang’s favorite porn star?)

    4) F I R S T.
