The inspiration for the Madden 11 Trainer was taken directly from the football. Brown pebbled leather, nubuck and synthetic materials were used for a majority of the upper, while white accents can be found along the inner liner, Swoosh border, laces, and midsole.

Though the look of the shoe is mostly inspired by the pigskin itself, there are also several storytelling elements in its design, including a salute to the reigning Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints. The EA Sports badge is placed front and center on the tongue of the shoe, while Madden 11 is lasered into the forefoot strap. Lasered into the heel of each shoe is an actual diagram of a touchdown-scoring play from Super Bowl XLIV. Additionally, the pre-game chant that Drew leads the Saints in before every game is sublimated on the sock liner top cloth.

When Nike announced that the EA Sports NCAA Football 11 version of its Nike Trainer 1.2 sneaker, specifically designed with former Florida Gators now Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow in mind, would go on sale on Friday, Aug. 6 at NikeStore.com, fans clamored to find out what lengths they would have to go to in order to get one of the 500 limited edition pairs.

While the company normally releases its new products at midnight, Nike had a trick up their collective sleeves Friday, putting the Tim Tebow Trainer 1.2 up for sale at exactly 1:50 a.m. Ironically, the sneaker sold out almost exactly 15 minutes later (though Nike claims it only lasted five), with the item officially appearing as sold out at 2:05 a.m.

The limited edition sneaker is “up there with some of the fastest sellouts,” according to the Nike Store’s Twitter account. The accompanying “Tebow Knows” T-shirt, which was also slated to be released Friday morning, is not yet available in the online store.

The Tim Tebow Trainer 1.2 features Tebow’s “Promise” speech from Sept. 27, 2008, along with a blue and orange color scheme, and EA Sports and NCAA Football 11 logos.

Me personally; I don’t know much about athletes. However; I do know that these Bryan Clay, Adrian Peterson, and Troy Polamalu PE’s of the Nike Air Trainer SC are DOPE!
