Nike Air Trainer SC Black Grey GS DX3764-001

The 1990's Nike Air Trainer SC III, referred to as the Nike Air Trainer SC Black Grey GS around the turn of the century, is most commonly remembered for its association with Bo Jackson. Known as the greatest athlete of all time, Bo Jackson held high scores while playing for both Los Angeles Raiders and Kansas City Royals. Back in those days, you tuned into Bo Jackson if you wanted to see great sportsmanship. Jackson was a two-sport star, playing both baseball and football. In 1989, Jackson was featured in a now-famous Nike commercial where he is seen hitting a baseball into a football field goal. As the commercial goes on, Jackson is seen to hit more and more targets, including a moving car. The tagline at the end of the ad reads "Bo knows", which perfectly encapsulates Jackson's skills in both baseball and football.

In addition to its association with Bo Jackson, the Nike Air Trainer SC III was also popular in the hip-hop community. The Nike Air Trainer SC was featured in several rap songs throughout the early 1990s. In fact, one of the most popular rap songs of all time, "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" by Dr. Dre, features the Nike Air Trainer SC III prominently.

The Air Trainer SC III was one of the most popular shoes during that period, and it was particularly popular in the orange/blue "Auburn" colourway, although later "Raiders" versions were just as popular. Nike will resurrect the West Coast colours on the model in 2022, with a full black/grey combination replacing the original Retro version.

Nike Air Trainer SC Black Grey GS will be a hit in 2022. So, be ready to get your beloved shoe; keep your eyes locked on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts for up-to-date sneaks release information.
