Statistically, Chien-Ming Wang didn’t have such a great 2009 season, but he’s got nothing to complain about. In addition to a World Series ring with the Yankees, Wang has also just received another Nike PE. You might remember his Air Max 1 PE from a few months back, and now coming on the heels of the New York Yankees Trainer 1, he gets his very own personalized pair. The shoe features a Navy and White Yankees color scheme with a pinstriped heel panel and the Chinese character for his name stitched on top. Some additional accents like multi-colored lace loops add a little extra spice to the shoe, and once we get a look at the tongue, there are sure to be some more touches of interest. There is no word yet on when and if these will be released, but for now, you can get a look at a few more pics after the jump. Via Kenlu.

Two new Nike Zoom Sharkalaid PE’s were just dropped at House of Hoops. One pair for Utah Jazz Point Guard Deron Williams and another for Memphis Grizzlies Foward Rudy Gay. Both pairs of Sharkalaids feature a patent leather upper with mesh side panels and cross straps with contrast stitching, taken from the Nike Air Raid design.

Which ever you prefer, both pairs are show stoppers and are sure to turn heads. Via FootlockerUnlocked

You know how St. Vincent St. Mary always gets the flyest LeBron PEs and Kobe has a few schools that he supports?  Well, Jordan Brand has the same sort of deal going with Carmelo Anthony’s high school alma mater, Oak Hill Academy.  The Virginia prep school has such a high profile that one of their games last fall was the real-life debut for the Air Jordan Sixty Plus, which has gone on to be a huge seller.  These Air Jordan XX1 (21) PEs won’t be, as this pair might be the only one you ever have the chance to get.  Done in an impressive combination of grey and black nubucks, these joints are available from ISS on eBay.

What does the Superbowl, video games and Nike’s new Trainer 1’s have in common.  They have all been now graced with the presence of two football giants.  Last season’s Superbowl was one for the records as Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals took on Troy Polamalu and the Steelers.  Subsequently, the two juggernauts were featured on the latest edition of Madden NFL 10.

As if these two scenarios were prestigious enough to their careers, Nike is now privileging these two gifted athletes with their own Nike Trainer 1 PE’s.  The shoes pretty much speak for themselves.  Technological progressive footwear sporting the team colors of each respective player.  Both the Fitz and Polamalu PE’s already available on the NikeStore, these two are just some more great athletic inspirations to add to the roster of this new trainer.

Earlier this month we gave you a glimpse at the Nike Air Max Rise in the black/white-varsity royal color way. Here is a look at the black/white-varsity red and white/black-varsity red versions. Brandon Roy of the Portland Trail Blazers has been wearing these for home and away games, repping the team’s “Young Guns” nickname thanks to the heel logo. As opposed to the suede upper of previous versions we’ve seen, these Air Max Rise’s feature leather uppers, with a patent leather ankle strap and multi-colored red and black laces. The swoosh can be found on the side panel as well as a black and red carbon fiber heel, visible air unit and red gradient strip running along the midsole. Look for both pairs to hit select retailers such as FootLocker this month.

There have been some pretty fresh looking pairs of Player Edition sneakers popping up here and there.  With the surfacing of the Jared Jeffries AJ 5 – Away’s, we now look at the Home versions.  Taking on a white upper, the orange accents on these samples don’t really do the Knicks’ team colors justice.  Looking more of a red than Orange Flash, it only forces us to think about the Fusion 5’s that comes in a seemingly similar colorway.  Nonetheless, its a rare find.  Take a look after the jump at what rate of this particular pair is going for.  via Shoesholic

New York Knicks forward, Jared Jeffries hasn’t exactly been setting the league ablaze with his play this year. The Knicks are off to a 1-9 start, and despite a lack of substantial playing time in that stretch, Jeffries has been making some noise with his kicks instead. Despite the struggles of Jeffries and his team, he still has his Air Jordan PE’s to take consolation in. Last week, we gave you a look at a fresh pair of Air Jordan XX3 PE’s created for Jeffries, and now we turn our attention to a personalized Air Jordan V well-suited for Knicks away games. The shoe sports a Black nubuck upper with the traditional Red and Silver accents replaced with some touches of Blue Ribbon and Orange Flash (although it looks more Red in these photos). Keep reading for a look at some more pics and stay tuned for more PE heat from Jared Jeffries. Via Shoesholic.

Whether he and LeBron could end up as teammates is a matter of wild speculation at this point, but Dwyane Wade is most definitely getting his hands (and feet) onto (and into) some dope Air Jordans.  We just saw his Air Jordan 16.5 PE against King James and the Cavaliers, and now D-Wade’s Twitter is showing off a brand new colourway of the recently unveiled 25th edition of the series, Air Jordan 2010.  This one is black nubuck with a white circle enclosing the ‘window’ and grey on the midsole and heel tab, plus ‘WADE’ on the inner eye placket to signify the PE-status.  Expect these in February 2010.
