Bo Jackson was a dream athlete for Nike because he was so good at so many different sports, which was exactly what their cross-training category was meant to do. All of the versions of the Air Trainer series were made to be good for all kinds of sports, and Mr. Jackson was one of the few people who was the best in more than one.
Interesting details make this shoe more special
This upcoming Air Trainer 1 comes in all-white leather, but the outsole has two-toned blocking that matches the Kansas City Royals’ uniforms perfectly. Behind the tongue tags is the first scripted line from that famous ad, “Don’t I Know You.” The heel has the heavy stitching you see on footballs and baseball gloves, which is a nod to Bo’s short but successful time in the NFL and MLB.
Summary
The Air Trainer 1 shoe represents Bo’s rise from baseball to football and back to baseball. It also shows that Nike respects how important his legacy was for both sports and how it remembers the ups and downs of his career. How do you feel about this shoe?
