Almost Pitied Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao almost had me. After hearing about the boxer’s canceled concert in Hawaii, I felt for the poor guy. The Pac Man must be so busy whooping everyone’s butt, running for office in the Philippines, entertaining fans with his vocals, and inspiring his very own Nike kicks.

So there I was, faced with these, the Nike Air Trainer SC 2010 in a special Pac Man colorway.

Do I get them and give Pac Man his props? Alas, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t justifiably rock the colors of the Philippine nation. So instead, I went with a more traditional white colorway.

Sorry Pac Man.

And how are the Air Trainer SC 2010? Not bad at all, especially when using a Footlocker Friends and Family discount. This is the first shoe I have with FlyWire, and it’s interesting. With the thin FlyWire providing strength and support, there’s less shoe material and weight. The shoe also flexes until you hit the tension of the FlyWire. For whatever reason, I had to get a 0.5 size smaller shoe. The smaller size gave a more lock down fit while my regular size felt too spacious. Something to do with the FlyWire construction?
