Sneaker Showcase #1 "Air Trainer SC III Bo Jackson" Edition


Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Bo Jackson. My top three athletes of all time...in that order. Of course Air Jordans (as far as athlete endorsed shoes are concerned) are infinitely more popular than any other sneaker in existence to date, period, but imagine a pair of Jordans in some type of "white sox" edition, like when he played for the ChiSox farm team that one year. This pair of Bo Jacksons would be akin to that, but better!

This Air Trainer SC III came out around 1990, and was remade in 1999 with a swoosh on the back. Lame. This being one of the more rare and original pairs with the raiders color make-up, but the rare part is the 34 on the back (bo's number with the raiders). There is a version without the 34, but why even bother?

I've seen a handful of these over the years, most have been beat to shit, a few from Japan as well that are cracked to hell from bad storage, elements, etc. This pair is brand new, with the original box, sz 9. it took me 10 years to find these, and I wouldn't normally buy this size shoe, but they can't be worn anyway so I guess it really doesnt matter. It would be easier finding a sasquatch at the beach than finding these in this condition. I figured the OG LA Raiders proline snap back hat would be a nice touch.
