Nike Air Trainer III Bo Knows Horse Racing

The Nike Air Trainer III Bo Knows Horse Racing harken back to Bo Jackson's incredibly successful Nike advertisements; his 'Bo Knows' Nike ads were arguably more popular than Michael Jordan's ads. Bo Jackson was a true rarity, a dual-sport professional athlete with mastery on the gridiron and on the diamond. However, Jackson did far more than just football and baseball -- his ads showed him surfing, playing cricket, and most important for this Air Trainer III, competitive horse racing. The colors on this iconic Nike cross trainer (Bo Jackson can be credited with almost single-handedly creating the cross training footwear genre) are plucked from Bo's pink and yellow jockey outfit. The Nike Air Trainer 3 Bo Knows Horse Racing showcases its theme with the duo of pixelated logos on the tongue and heel; one sports Bo's now-retired collegiate number while the other flaunts a horse and jockey team. The tonal grey upper and translucent plastic heel cage allow for the pink and yellow accents to pop, while the grey speckles against the black midsole add character. Launched originally at the beginning of May, 2014, this Nike Air Trainer 3 is a certified neckbreaker that the sneaker community won't soon forget.
