Manny Pacquiao, the current P4P king is a dynamic fighter and is known not only for his explosive power in both hands but also for his mind-boggling speed and footwork, attributes that the shoe purveyors at Nike had kept in mind when they came up with the design of the state-of-the-art MP ring boot which it describes as:
"Blinding speed and cheetah quickness require stability. The next generation of Manny Pacquiao’s ring boot combines lightweight strength with lockdown containment building for Manny’s agility, power and footwork in the ring."
And history is not lost on the Nike designers as well since we all know that great footwear is not only "intended to protect and comfort" the feet but also has become an art form, a decoration or medium that reflects the wearer's fashion sense or personality.
Thus, Nike made a truly beautiful footwear that not only complements Manny Pacquiao's constant activity inside the ring but also pays homage to the Pacman's character and achievements.
Nike describes the ring boot's personalized aesthetics: the "royal blue color pays tribute to the Philippines, while additional touches such as Manny’s logo on the upper, eight stars aligned on the tongue tab, and reflective ink spelling ‘Manny Pacquiao’ wrapping the heel of both boots, provide a personal touch fit for a champion."
...and explains the footwear's technological upside- "Flywire technology strength, herringbone traction and forefoot stability provide technical elements required for a professional bout at boxing’s highest level. Manny’s feet are incredibly quick and strong, in constant motion, creating tremendous torque and rigor on his boots."
