Nike Sky Force Hi “Tecmo Bo”
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 6, 2009 This year marks the 20th anniversary of the famous “Bo Knows” commercial series. Along with the introduction of the Nike Trainer 1, Nike has rolled out a number of shoes honoring the best who represented the Nike Training category.
Bo Jackson was arguably one of the best athletes in his prime excelling at virtually every sport he played. Though he played professionally in just football and baseball, his training routine included a number of others. To honor Bo Jackson, Nike has rolled out a number of retro releases inspired by the man who knew. This Nike Sky Force Hi, originally released in 1984, comes with the “Tecmo Bo” theme. The upper features pixelate graphics that throwback to the 8bit video game as well as a tongue graphic of Bo Jackson himself. Colors used for the shoes are none other than the LOS ANGELES Raiders. Yes, the team is not located in Oakland, but Bo only played in LA. The “Tecmo Bo” Nike Sky Forces are available at NikeStore and select retailers for $82. |
