Hasbro and Nike have decided to partner up and release a limited edition 3-shoe pack, including a 5-inch action figure. According to Nike, this is the first time Hasbro has created an action figure for an athlete in conjunction with a shoe release. Included in the pack will be the CJ81 Megatron Trainer Max, the Megatron Nike Air Trainer SC II, and a special edition Nike CJ81 Megatron Elite TD Cleat.
Megatron, a name that was given to Calvin Johnson a couple of years ago, is a name that Nike feels fits the athlete, as he plays the game relentlessly and without mercy. Lets take a brief look at our favorite shoe in the collection, the CJ81 Trainer Max. It will feature a dominant purple upper, such as the action figure, along with red accents. Transformers detailing can be found onto the heel, along with a decepticon logo on the tongue. Found below the strap will be Calvin Johnson’s favorite quote “Show no mercy”.
The Nike Air Trainer SC II is fairly different from the other two silhouettes, more simpler. It comes to us in a tonal black upper with a touch of green, orange, and purple accents. Just like the sneaker mentioned previous, this pair will also have the decepticon found on the heel. The final sneaker is basically a counterpart to the first, including the same colorways and detailing, except it’s seen in a cleat form.
In honor of Calvin Johnson’s number, 81 Nike Megatron Rises 3-packs will release exclusively at 21 Mercer in NYC, select Nike Yardline doors and Nike. If you don’t plan on copping the pack, don’t worry, both the CJ81 Megatron Trainer Max and the Megatron Nike Air Trainer SC II will be available individually at select Nike retailers, including nike.com.
