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

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.

*%#?!!?? 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

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:

nike air trainer sc (now named the trainer iii):

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

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.
