Nike Air Trainer SC Broken Bats

Launched in early-2014, the Nike Air Trainer SC High Broken Bats celebrated Bo Jackson's ability to break bats -- both from his swinging prowess within the batter's box to his frustration when his swings were unfortuitous; notoriously, he would break bats right across his leg when he was upset. From his first at bat in 1986, Bo Jackson was a dual-sport (baseball and football) phenomenon. The Nike Air Trainer SC, along with many other Nike silhouettes like the Nike Air Trainer 1, were made incredibly popular with the infamous 'Bo Knows' Nike ad campaigns. According to some, the 'Bo Knows' advertisements were actually more popular than Jordan's Nike ads. This Broken Bats Nike Air Trainer SC High tells Bo's story through this Kansas City-inspired colorway. A woodgrain print in grey coats some of the white perforated leather upper, yet the key details are the icy blue outsoles with 'BROKEN BATS' that appear beneath them. The digitized Bo Jackson logo is prominently featured on both tongues and matches the digitzed number 16 at the heels. Nike is fond of telling stories to go along with shoes and the Nike Air Trainer SC High Broken Bats tells an incredibly nostalgic tale excellently.
