Manny Pacquiao Unveils New Kicks For His Bout With Sugar Shane Moseley

Boxing great Manny Pacquiao is a global icon. He's a legend in his native Philipines, a sure-fire box-office draw, and a product endorser extraordinaire. So, it stands to reason that Pacman would be debuting some new shoes prior to his bout with "Sugar" Shane Moseley. 

Pacman's new Nike Zoom Huarache Trainers are set to be released sometime this month, and bear a striking resemblance to some of the Filipino champ's other footwear. With the white, blue, red and gold emblematic of the Philipine flag and a translucent sole revealing his brand's "MP" logo, these are some slick kicks indeed.

The blue tongue features a red and gold version of Pacman's logo, as well, with the May 7 fight date with Moseley imprinted just below the crest. 

Given Pacman's global appeal, these shoes come as little surprise; they're slick, nice looking shoes, and the clear sole is a nice touch. 

The boxer has had new shoes for each of his last two fights, debuting a set of kicks prior to his 209 fight with Ricky Hatton and a whole clothing line before his fight with Antonio Margarito. Clearly, both of those debuts worked out well for the fighter, who has seen his popularity across the globe skyrocket in recent years. 

The newest installment in Pacman's line of apparel figures to be as big of a hit as the last few items he's debuted, as his ever rabid fan base figures to snatch up as many pairs of these shoes as they can get their hands on, even if they're only going to be a limited release at first. According to Sole Collector, the shoes are also going to be available to the general public with a different color scheme, perhaps one more widely available than a model he's actually fighting in.
