I swear people forget he was a two-sport athlete. Everyone focuses on Bo Jackson.

Hell of a lead off hitter and centerfielder. So close to winning a WS and an SB as a starter....closer than anyone will ever come most likely.

Tim McCarver hated Dion with a passion, dude had some other issues IMO... I wasnt upset when Money did the 1st ever ice bucket challenge on him..

Dude, you really think I didn't know he was a two-sport athlete?
What I'm pointing out clearly is that the original color way of white, black, red and GOLD was also in reference to the BRAVES color way as there was NO GOLD in the Falcon's uniform and the Diamond Turf (with both references to football and baseball in the name) was advertised with him playing baseball yet the title of this thread indicates its a Falcon's color way alone which it is not

No wasn't putting you on blast. I appreciate you informing the uninformed.
I was referring to the population as a whole. He's remembered for being a great football player with little to no acknowledgement of his baseball career.

I always felt the gold was in reference to his personal style. Prime loved wearin them chains in the post game...hell during games i think lol.Dude, you really think I didn't know he was a two-sport athlete?

Ah, got ya no harm.
Yea you are right, he rarely gets any acknowledgement on the baseball end but did some great stuff. Nike definitely did a better job of marketing Bo then they did Deion for sure IMO
On a side note who remembers these Everlast Diamond Turf knock offs

This was mentioned before in an article back in the day. The gold did represent his flashy style and chains. "Must be the money!" Can't believe primetime tried to rap. He really was trying to do everything!!

Saw in person today at Champs.
They look and feel cheap in hand.
Will wait for sub-retail.

Why bother buying at all? I like the job they did with them. And the strap looks fine as leather.

I agree with this... had the OG's in 95 & the 2005 retro & now i have the 2017s it didn't bother me as much as i thought it would end up doing so.

no shame in that, I occasionally do the same thing. I will never purchase some colorways of a model no matter how low they go, unless its to flip.

Yep. There's a diff b/w knowing retail is too high and "let me grab these for low and rock'em as beaters"

JJ came thru. Ended up returning the flawed first pair that they shipped me.
Overall I can honestly say that I am happy w/ this sneaker even though NIKE has decided to replace some of its classic logo's.
Was on my way to purchase my tickets for the Tupac bio-pic over the weekend...Spotted a dude standing outside of his apartment w/ his dog.
On his feet were these Diamond Turfs looking box fresh...Just a random story I thought I would share.
