Chris, I had the originals, and I worked in a UK Footlocker in 1990. These were always called the SC3's, with the previous version being called the SC2's (the one with the removeable velcro forefoot strap, & separate padded ankle piece). A Nike rep who visited the store also told us back in the day that if there was a visible window, there was always a separate forefoot air unit. They provided us with loads of air units to show to customers also. I remember the orange part of the tongue being a silky material too, that one looks a little rougher to the touch?
We always called them Bo Jackson back in da days. They came out with 3 colors. Auburn color, Raiders color and Royals color. Raiders color back then had 34 on the back and Royals had 8 on the back. They were terrible basketball shoe, better casual wear.
The BEST pair of shoes I’ve ever owned! So comfortable. I wore nothing but then for about three years of my 20s. Now as a man close to 60 I see that I can have a pair, noice!
The Air Trainer SC will seemingly never go out of style.They were dope in the 90's, and they're still dope now, imo. Thanks for another great video from Weartesters!
I absolutely loved these - but the only problem I had with them is that particular rubber compound in some of them was too soft for a sneaker you can do almost anything in. Very often you burn through those outsoles while the upper is still in amazing shape and looks better with age also 👌🏿
Had these in the 90’s and recently my wife found some and hooked me up with a pair as a surprise. May be/sound corny and I don’t care but they immediately took me back to when I first got a pair. I actually like pretty much all of the color schemes, too. These, Barkley’s, Pippen’s, Rodman’s, Shawn Kemps, David Robinson’s Dee Brown’s Pumps and all of the MJ’s are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are my youth! I had Air Trainer IIIs in high school. I'm so glad Chris likes these. To me they encapsulate 90s fun. I remember the leather being fairly thick but the stitching wasn't always super great and they eventually fell apart. But damn I loved them ❤️
Back in the late 80’s and 90’s, I was a big fan of cross trainers. My first pair was the one that featured Bo Jackson in the medicine ball color-way. Right now, I’m in the process of trying to secure the shoe you just featured, but in the KC Royals color-way.
Classics. Man, the Auburn cw has been retro’d helllllaaa times. 😊🤷🏻♂️ I remember the 98 retros. Hecka people had them. These always hit outlets for $50-$60 but, I’ve never grabbed a pair. 😂🤦🏻♂️. I like the Raiders cw. I grew a Niners fan so, I’ve never grabbed them either. Lol
I had those exact shoes when I was a kid and they had heel with a separate forefoot air unit. The Air Trainer 1 is the only trainer with full-length air that I can think of unless it's visible like the Ubiquitous max or Pillar. I'm always suspicious if there is forefoot air in retros as we all know how Nike skimps on stuff unless someone cuts them in half to verify. Keep up the great work you two!
These were my first Nikes in 1990! I had the choice between these and the Air Jordan’s, but chose these to save my parents money…plus at the time didn’t know who Jordan was, I picked up basketball the following year. Yes, I copped crap from everyone over the choice. But when your parents are poor & you have large feet, you make the financial choice.
aww something similar in mexico but here, just can get these in low quantities, no much models but i got mines and yes were a bit cheaper than the jordans, but in my case these were stacked with a better set up, more air, i mean, also visible at these times, i think were before tham the jordan3, but i dont remember so well but also the Utra force, were another basketballl with the visible air in hell and forefoor non visible
I remember having these. I wasn’t into Jordan’s. Bo WAS the guy, and I held my money for these, but I had the Raiders color way with the 34 on the back.
I saw these in my finishline when I was picking up either my military black 4’s or my infrared 4’s and almost bought them. Had so many pairs of these throughout the years I love when they bring them back randomly
I got the last retro of these and the paint started peeling around the heel pretty early on, so I haven't work them as often as I'd like to. Copped a new pair last week so now I can wear the old pair more often and not worry so much if they get beat up.
When I was kid I use to wear really garbage velcro sneakers. I wanted to change that up so every year on my birthday my Grams would buy me sneakers my first pair was jordan 6 infrared. Wore em till the heels fell off. This was my second pair. I absolutely loved these as a kid. So many memories all the "Bo Knows" swag an commercials. Love the channel Chris keep up the dynamite vids.....
I had these in a low with a white and green colourway back in around ‘91. They cost £70 back then which was a tonne of money. Then my best buddy trumped me with a pair of Jordan 6 in black. We looked so rad
Found them today at Foot Locker. I normally take an 11, but they had a 10.5. I tried them on and they fit perfectly. Love the shoe. Big fan of Bo also!
Dope shoe, 🔥 colorway! Man that $40 budget for new shoes was me too! That was my Mom’s back to school new shoe 👟 budget, $40. I remember having to put in the leg work weeks before back to school shopping hitting up all the shoe stores in the mall for their sales. Then hoping🤞and 🙏 praying that they would have my size when the time came. I rocked so many last year models as my new model for the first day of school 😎. What a trip down memory lane….
Strange. I have the previous release still on ice and the materials feel fairly good. I believe they went down in quality. Love these though! Also to mention, the foam feels incredibly comfortable on my pair, so much that I think it's phylon instead of PU. I sized mine half down and they're perfect too. So I guess sizing changed here
I had an all white pair with a little bit of Carolina Blue in the early 2000s. I didn’t notice a forefoot air unit when they eventually fell apart. I have the recent 180 version of those with lunarlon in the forefoot that I got a few years ago. Much more comfortable!
That “Bo Knows” advertising campaigns were genius and fit perfectly in capturing the cross-training versatility of the shoe… although Bo only played 2 sports. These would be great as a ProTro.
These are a thing of beauty! So glad they've re-released these, I'll definitely be ordering a pair this time around! I dunno what it is about 90's trainers but they just look sooo much better than most of today's designs! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm currently in Green Acres mall looking at these right now. As an 80's baby, these are a must-have. I'm just trying to figure out if I should order them in a size 14 because I don't want them to be too small when they arrive. I'm a 14/15 in most of my footwear.
and the air trainer iii?? u are wrong, but. the sc never said nothng in the thongg was just written NIKE in theere and in the trainer iii. yes it is written in the nike tab in the front as same as the trainer 1
I had those when they released back in the day, but could only get half a size small. Loved them... through the pain 😂 Bakc the I thought it was the lightest sneaker ever. We need those back in Europe 😍
What's going on bro,,,I'm new to your channel but I love your content,,, every thing you cover is dope but I love when you cover the 90s and early 2000s era of shoes,,,my era so I love it,,, I would love to see your shoes collection,,,
I just got the raiders color way sc trainers they're not as comfortable as I thought they would be but they are super dope especially in the raiders color way
hellooo from mexico,,,, it was one of my fav pair i ever used in the early;s trainers frist the 1. clorophiyl. then the SC. i wore the blue roya. and gray, and another pair in green and gray, and both were used till the end, and both were stacked with a air in the heel. and capsule on the forefoot, the weir thing is that the right foot. was used a bigger capsule, and the left was smaller, suppoused cause is to give the base ball support , but i took off in both, in fact, i cut the blues ones, made them LOWS.. and were for me part of how much i loved and wanted to watch em ending in the gray collar as the trainers 1 stiyle , and still were wearable, i got a retros, in the 2015 but in a non fav colour theme was like baby blue, and gray, but the escence was there, but those three, the midsole foam , collapsed, it crumbled, into dust, but is a lengendary sneacker, in all my swimmer age, i was a nationan and centro american swimmer championships, and to wear a SC trainners, or a nike air tech huarache, form the agassi lines, the black ones with purple forefoot front were so hyped. awww alla many memories. and i actualy i just have a trainer iii... the camo version.. in 10 US hope not to boring and excuse me my bad english but im a real fan of these models! and deep from heart fan of your channel chris!! saludos!! y abrazos
Man. I've had so many SC trainers over the past decade and the only complaint I have is the 🤬 midsole paint SUCKED after awhile. *Edited* yes, the Auburn color is for the University he went to in Alabama. Auburn tigers
I just copped a pair of these Badboys, a couple of weekends back at DTLR, and I always wanted this OG colorway. My only dislike is that Nike could have did a better job with the Leather Material.. plus the Tongue is too short, the older versions from 90s tongues were longer!!
I been had the black & blanco Bose but the paint on the heel started peeling put em away it’s too hot in Los Angeles for black leather material & the toe began to crease nostalgic not comfortable
Hey Guys! Time to check out the Nike Air Trainer SC High. We're excited! Hope you are too! Leave your thoughts on them down below and have a good one.
I'm still waiting on the uk release.
These are one of my all time favourites. My 2013 still look incredibly well to say they're now my go to beaters.
These shoes are still some of the sweetest designs to come from a signature line. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Word. Came here to say the same thing. I had the SC2s and the SC3s. Hope Nike re-up the SC2s in the blue/pink and the Carnivore’s

*not full length air. It has air in the rear and then a seperate one in the front. The Air Mariah the same year had FULL length air though.
and the right foot has a bigger than in the left show, why? i never knew but were comfortable
“I copped the Jordan’s and the Fila’s too, yo I loved the Bo Jackson’s, the orange and blue” - NORE

I love this style of Nike tongue - so simple, branding kinda subtle, but the tongue itself kinda sticks out in the right way

Had to cop these. They have been sitting too. I personally find the air trainer to be one of the best shoe silhouette of all time.
The one that started it ALL for me 🙌🏾
I had those when I was in eighth grade. I just bought the grey and blues a month ago. I'll look for the orange ones next. Great video
Love'em, Finishline just restocked earlier this week and was able to cop.
They need 2 bring the Webber's back(no.2 on the shoe horn) & David Robinson's dat pumped up in 2 places. Nightwing is in My top 5. Great content.💯
I remember having these. I wasn’t into Jordan’s. Bo WAS the guy, and I held my money for these, but I had the Raiders color way with the 34 on the back.

I was waiting for a Tim Allen reference because this is a shoe that would definitely be on that show! These are great
Yeah pretty much all the 🔥 shoes they rocked on the show Home improvement back in the 90's
i got home from a trip and wifey and kids got me a pair for fathers day. love'em the shoes lol, kids and wife too lol
I have two pairs of these and love that they resell below retail generally. Beautiful colorway and shoe.
Thanks!
🙏🏼
Love the retro intro!!!
So glad that you reviewed these, looks so awesome and was waiting for your thoughts
Love these. Got my pair!!
that two page splash ad 😍
Those are so beautiful. I’m getting my pair this weekend. 😄 Great review as always.✌️
My dad met Bo Jackson once and raved on how nice he was….I had to get these for him, and he loves them!
I have these and they are AMAZING. I love everything about them. An absolute MUST get.

They are constructed with terrible materials You’ve been had
@@jefft6038 u dead ass gang? I was about to buy them but the quality trash?
@@rugerred8659 it’s all opinions.. you have to see them yourself
I agree from every angle the toebox is on point.
Dope shoe, 🔥 colorway! Man that $40 budget for new shoes was me too! That was my Mom’s back to school new shoe 👟 budget, $40. I remember having to put in the leg work weeks before back to school shopping hitting up all the shoe stores in the mall for their sales. Then hoping🤞and 🙏 praying that they would have my size when the time came. I rocked so many last year models as my new model for the first day of school 😎. What a trip down memory lane….
Strange. I have the previous release still on ice and the materials feel fairly good. I believe they went down in quality. Love these though!
Also to mention, the foam feels incredibly comfortable on my pair, so much that I think it's phylon instead of PU.
I sized mine half down and they're perfect too. So I guess sizing changed here
the retros, OG. crumbled the midsole foams. not so ethernal but yes at their new times were comfortable ones
Dope!! Love these high school joints i had. The ultimate retro for me would be the Black/White Nike Veers. Still waiting on that retro!!!
I had an all white pair with a little bit of Carolina Blue in the early 2000s. I didn’t notice a forefoot air unit when they eventually fell apart. I have the recent 180 version of those with lunarlon in the forefoot that I got a few years ago. Much more comfortable!
WearTesters should do a collab video with Rose Anvil - both really care about quality footwear/materials
Damn. I had these in elementary school!! My moms still got them as keepsakes to reminisce them days. Damn I gotta get these.
Fire kick I cop the
For the second time I my life a true classic “Bo knows “ I love the Fluorescent colorway juggalos is fire
That “Bo Knows” advertising campaigns were genius and fit perfectly in capturing the cross-training versatility of the shoe… although Bo only played 2 sports. These would be great as a ProTro.
The black ones with 34 on the heel are the greatest
I definitely need these AGAIN ASAP!

Jerry Seinfeld used to wear these ( in a different colorway ) on his show all the time.

This shoe is sexy, orange and grey look so good!! Oh god i miss the 90s so much.
Love that intro man very nostalgic👍😁
The graphic is accurate. The retros were renumbered, for example: Air Trainer TW became the Air Trainer 2, Air Trainer SC became the Air Trainer 3

Love the retro look 👀
The Bo Jackson's are the Black and Gray (Raiders) ones with the 34 on the back, and they need to retro those asap.
Literally my favorite shoes off all time, I would wear those everyday if I could. These are a staple In Connecticut 💯
A Classic and Must Get for me 🙏🏾

Bo Jackson’s are favorite sneakers…Jordan’s became my default because so many was made
Had the originals and I loved them!
Had these with the straps back in college
I really want the raiders Bo Diddly black and gray but can't see paying the price hopefully they retro in O.G. form and colorway
Get mine soon last time i had a pair bk in the 90s
Want the black silver and gray, had those I thing they like a suede leather. Don't have a lot of orange things.
I have mine! Blessed🔥🔥🔥
Great review
I just got the raiders color way sc trainers they're not as comfortable as I thought they would be but they are super dope especially in the raiders color way

Ps I was 7 years young when my grandma blessed me with these.
Auburn
I remember them Drippin when I was in High School!!!! BO was my Guy from Auburn!!!!
great colorway.
Absolute classic

There is also forefoot in there. I have the full tech specks on these.
Man. I've had so many SC trainers over the past decade and the only complaint I have is the 🤬 midsole paint SUCKED after awhile.
*Edited* yes, the Auburn color is for the University he went to in Alabama. Auburn tigers
I think they mad the toe box out of the less expensive stuff because over the years the leather was too soft and they would crease bad
Those like nice! There was a pair of these I wanted in the Optimus prime color way but never find
Hope these are releasing in sweden soon... My 2009 pair is pretty beat up about now... haha
Copped these!
Hibbett Sports still have sizes, copped me a pair with a 20 % off promo.
Hey Chris is it true that the Air Max Penny Hardaway 1 got pushed back from July 1st to August
I just copped a pair of these Badboys, a couple of weekends back at DTLR, and I always wanted this OG colorway. My only dislike is that Nike could have did a better job with the Leather Material.. plus the Tongue is too short, the older versions from 90s tongues were longer!!
Aww man I had these in the 5th grade and they released them again my senior year
Finish Line’s website has them in stock, size 8 through 10.5 as of this message.
Them nice!!! I still have a pair of Grey and Blue.
