Nike CJ81 Megatron Trainer Max
Dec 28th
Calvin Johnson has redefined the wide-receiver position and become an un-guardable force with a powerful nickname – MEGATRON. Like the fictional TRANSFORMERS DECEPTICON leader, Johnson taps into his superhuman-like skills to push the limits of his position, and the game, in a relentless quest for dominance. Designed to amplify Johnson’s powerhouse athletic ability when training in the gym and on the turf, the Nike CJ81 Megatron Trainer Max features adaptive traction, lockdown support, and Max Air cushioning. In true MEGATRON form, all core attributes of the shoe are energized in a design that marries Johnson’s on-field persona with his human side.
The Nike CJ81 Megatron Trainer’s purple upper gives the shoe a robotic, armored look, while the red accents refer back to the secondary color of the action figure. Under the forefoot strap, Johnson’s favorite MEGATRON quote, “Show no mercy,” appears. It’s a reminder of the athletic mindset needed to succeed at the highest level, and the perseverance required to rise to the top. The metallic silver heel of the trainer carries a classic TRANSFORMERS grid pattern as well as a bold, iconic DECEPTICON logo at center.
The Nike CJ81 “Megatron” Trainer Max is now arriving at select Foot Locker stores in limited quantities for $ 120. As a special addition, with every purchase you will receive the first ever Hasbro TRANSFORMERS action figure designed for an athlete! Check the Launch Locator to see which stores are carrying this release and let us know what you think of the shoe in comments.
