Virginia Tech is arguably the most successful college football program to never have won a national championship, and Nike uniforms and cleats have been a part of the Hokies’ success for quite a while. The contract extends through 2015, so we can expect to see more models like this exclusive promo sample Nike Trainer 1 Mid that looks like it was once scheduled to release during the 2009 pigskin season. These come equipped with a tessellated gradient that blends the school’s unique palette together, a look that would have been equally impressive with any of the other schools that tend to get cutting-edge gridiron garb. Examine this cutting room casualty after the jump and check out the auction available from dballaholic on eBay.
