Bo Jackson v. Deion Sanders: The battle of the signature cross trainer

[tommy gibbs]

Nike signed the only two dual sports athletes in baseball and football, Bo Jackson and Neon Deion. Both released great signature lines. But who had thebest. This one might be tough as they ran in slighltly different eras with Prime Time's line starting as Bo's was ending, but the shoes wereridiculous. What do you guys think

 

[pinoypi]

it was tough, but I would go w/ Bo

 

[superblytrife]

I gotta roll with Bo Jax.

Deion's shoes were nice, but Bo's were just ridiculous. His shoes set the bar as far as trainers go, IMO.

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

1st Gen OG Air Diamond Turfs were

. But overall BoJax line washotter.

 

[kuprelli]

Bo's Line was hardly anything worth screaming over...but those Diamond Turf's were MAJOR....Deion all theway!

*%#?!!?? I'm rolling with the person who hit a homerun and scored a touchdown in the same week AND has both a super bowl ring as well as a world seriesring. Also the BOs are nice and the Deions have been ruined but it's still a few pairs I'd take anyday. IIs and Vs

Bos.

bo was setting the trend while deion still had eazy-e hair. bo. ballgame. and HE's the only guy ever elected to the all-star game and the pro bowl!

I love the Bo' "OG signature" line and not so much the retro line. and I'm not well versed into Deion's DT shoe history to make a trulyeducated remark, but here's some photos to persuade many others. I will say that Bo's top 3-4 og colorways battle Deions top 3-4 shoe model+c/ws quitewell. Retros should not be taken into account here by any means

in no truly particular order:


Diamond Turf:

DT2:

DT4:



DT5:


DT MAX 96: OG vs. RETRO... OGs easily rank among some of deion's hottest colorways

cowboys c.w:

og:

nice gold accents:

retro:

varsity maize?? come one now

Bo's line:

SC II (still unretroed to this day):
Highs and Lows with removable strap.

SC III highs and Lows:

OG vs retro:

Trainer Max '91:

OG vs. retro:

I will say the Bo's suffered quite a bit more with a true bastardization of colorways on a few models. out of the 4 here, two get murdered with shottycolors that number in the 30-40s and another model hant even been remade yet. The sympathy lies with bo's although the first diamond turfs have some uglycolorways that match that of Bo's struggles

Deion.

 

[mr whomp whomp]

BO

 

[shake n bake718]

These were one of the most durable pair of shoes I ever owned in my life. Id still take the BJ SC IIIs over any of them if I had to choose.

[cameron nelson]

DEFINITELY Deion...DT's and DT2's? Maaannnnnnnnn...I can't think of one person who DIDN'T have them...

[selectaclutchstar]

Bo! The "Bo Knows..." campaign was ahead of it's time.

 

[Mactastic4167]

Diamond Turfs for me all day, searching the world for DT4's as we speak

 

[superblytrife]

Man, looking at those pics Wally posted just reminded me how ugly DT's are, except for the first joints. Horrible. Entirely waaaay too much going on withthem.

 

[biggimike]

Bo Knows Nike... I can't wait for the Retros in this Fall.
