Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer “Pittsburgh” Posted: 10 Jul 2010 02:58 PM PDT Nike also created a “Pittsburgh” colorway of the Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer for Larry Fitzgerald. The Arizona Cardinals star often speaks very highly of his alma mater and often visits the campus in his free time. Therefore, Nike used his relationship with Pittsburgh as a stepping stone to another themed Huarache Trainer for Fitzgerald. Navy blue covers the majority of the base, while minimal gold (neoprene bootie, tongue logo) and white (D-Ring strap, midsole, heel branding) accents bring the entire Pittsburgh color scheme together. Fortunately, this is not a player exclusive for Fitzgerald and will release in the coming months.

Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer “Superheroes” for Larry Fitzgerald Posted: 10 Jul 2010 01:28 PM PDT A couple of months ago, Nike unveiled its innovative and upgraded Zoom Huarache Trainer, a sneaker that garnered a lot of positive feedback from the sneaker community. It’s improved performance attributes, such as a dual density inner core, non-stitched D-Ring strap and enlarged side panel voids for breathability, give this shoe an all-purpose appeal. Besides its performance elements, Nike worked closely with Arizona Cardinals superstar Larry Fitzgerald on special, themed colorways for this sneaker that are sure to be instantly purchased by many when they release. With that said, hit the jump to view this Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer tri-series and learn about how each one is inspired by a DC superhero. Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer "Green Hornet" Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer "Green Hornet" If you recall, DC rapper Wale was spotted wearing this particular Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer at a party a couple of months ago. It has been labeled the “Green Hornet” and borrows the color scheme of the masked superhero. The Green Hornet was known for having superior hand-to-hand combat; therefore, Nike likened Larry Fitzgerald’s ability to rid his defender (using his hands) when getting jammed at the line to the superhero’s obvious strengths.
