Nike Training shoes have come along way since the days of John McEnroe and kicks like the original Air Trainer. The new generation of the Nike Trainer 1 series has gone through some changes over the past few years, to become a series of designs that could be considered the most popular training shoes available. Following the Air Max TR1+ and the Nike Trainer 1.2+ is the upcoming Nike Trainer 1.3.

The Nike Trainer 1.3 launched with the help of special versions for Nike athletes Manny Pacquiao and Bo Jackson. Today we get our first good look at a color combination that will release in July. The Trainer 1.3 is covered in familiar colors like White, Dark Grey and Black, and then accented with the always popular Volt. With Max Air cushioning in the heel and a modified waffle sole pattern for stability and traction, the Trainer 1.3 is set to carry the Nike Trainer namesake into the winter.
