As arguably the best pound for pound boxer in the history of the
sport, Manny Pacquiao has a relentless dedication to training. As the
world’s first eight-division champion, Pacquiao’s devotion to training
methods and elite, progressive gear has helped separate the 33-year old
from the competition. As he’s trained for his June 9th bout, Pacquiao
has been using the new Nike+ Training experience which fuses
high-intensity training drills with the appeal of gaming. For fight
night, Nike will outfit Pac Man in a collection of gear made from
environmentally-friendly materials for high impact in the ring and low
impact on the environment.
Nike+ Training connects Pacquiao’s training shoe, the Nike LunarTR1+,
with an interactive mobile application that together deliver a
highly-advanced training experience. This technology utilizes a new
Nike+ Pressure Sensor built into each of Pacquiao’s shoes that collects
information about his movement and then wirelessly transmits data to his
phone. It is then translated into different metrics, delivering
previously unknown information about his training session. The Nike
LunarTR1+ will be available and at retail June 29, 2012, in the US, UK,
France, Germany and Mainland China.
Beyond the Nike+ Training experience, Pac Man’s fight-night robe and
trunks for the June 9th fight will be pound for pound the most
sustainable gear in the ring.
