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

[finn]

Bo's, the Air Trainer SC High being the best in the Raiders silver & black colorway. Didn't the OGs have the "34" somewhere in the shoe?It's been so long. The Deion retro DT Max 96 sucked because of the small air bubble.

love deion, but i gotta go with the bo jacksons

As much as I love the Air Trainers, the Diamond Turfs were beautiful... I had the black/gold ones back in the day...

tough call.

[jaone626]

love my white/blk-red Air Diamond Turfs...

but Bo had the better line... IMO at least...

 

[theprocessofbelief]

SC Trainer (AT III) > All, IMO.

DTs were always too bulky and heavy. Bos early trainers will always be classics

 

[sylvestermcgrizzly]

Thats a very good point... the big velcro strap made it look very chunky...

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

Deions

 

[ksmith4768]

Deion is my favorite player of all time... but I gotta go with Bo...

Based primarily on the Trainer III... Deion has nothing that compares to that...

Not to mention 2 other pair I could mention...

 

[jordan23les]

i'll go with bo

 

[ogfiend]

Some of the later Deions were really nice but I'd have to go with Bo, his line was pretty revolutionary. Air units+ straps+ progressive designs...all ofhis trainers were great.

 

[S3NTINEL2001]

Deions!!

Diamond Turf's one of my all time fav's

 

[the heatstroker]

Bo Jackson all the way. The Trainer SC III High was my very first really dope shoe. 5th grade. Not to mention, I'm born and raised in KC.

 

[So Much Sole 23]

Love My Deions

......... Could Mos Def Use A Couple Pair Of Those Bo' Trainers Tho!

 

[size 15 please]

tough question right here.....imma say its a tie...i dig em both!

 

[11wordisbond]

Dion's were dope back in the day but IMHO should stay in the 90's. Bo's have a more classic look that would look fresh in any decade.

 

[jthagreat]

PrimeTime for me.

 

[yungchamp]

I'll take Deions

 

[ponson02]

I would have to say the Bo's hands down.

What makes me mad though is how Nike has done the retros. I have a pair of the grey/yellow and two pairs of the black/white trainer max 91 retros that Ican't wear because of the way the toe is made. It curls up and makes me feel like the Iron Shiek. Does anyone else have this problem?

 

[air justinxi]

Deions mos def

 

[sneakerking757]

Easy...Bo's.

 

[airuphere23]

Deion's first Diamond Turf shoe was tough. I really liked that shoe as a kid. But Bo Jackson's shoes are just fantastic!

 

[bigben1986]

There's no battle. nike signed these 2 players, and made them great kicks in an era when nike was killing the shoe market (they still do). i remember inthose days when you walked into a store and came out dissapointed because you only had enough money for 1 pair, being that there was sooooooooooo much heat YOUWANTED THEM ALL!!. LOL

so both Bo, and Deon win in my book, along withbarkley, jordan, agassi, flights, forces, ken griff, etc etc etc. you see i still get mad I don't know which one to pick.
