Bo Jackson went to Auburn, not Georgetown, but his Nike Air Trainer SC High has been brought back in a “Wolf Grey/Obsidian” colorway that gives off a healthy dose of Hoyas vibes. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and first released in 1990, the Air Trainer SC was known as a go-anywhere, do-anything training shoe. Now, 30 years later, it’s a lifestyle favorite that releases sporadicly — but always has a story to tell when it does drop.

The story on this “Wolf Grey/Obsidian” pair is its two-tone colorblocking, with a perforated grey nubuck base embellished by smooth navy nubuck overlays that run from the forefoot to the heel. On the rear, a strap-like piece surrounds a bold Nike text hit. Each side also features a duo of strap-like grey overlays with navy contrast stitching, and a white midfoot Swoosh on the lateral side adds some light contrast into the mix. Down below, midsoles are done up in white and house a visible Air unit in the heel. Outsoles take on an icy grey shade of their own. Moving back up top, the look is completed by thin grey rope laces and an original “Made in Vietnam” tag on the inside of the tongue.

Expect the Nike Air Trainer SC High “Wolf Grey/Obsidian” to hit the Nike webstore in the coming weeks. Its MSRP is set at a standard $130 USD.
