Bo Jackson’s time on the gridiron and baseball diamond led to iconic sneaker moments. Included in this was the release of the Air Trainer SC High, with colorways on this sneaker often drawing on Jackson’s personal life and career. While 2022 marked the return of the original Auburn colorway, which is an homage to Jackson’s time playing for Auburn University, the sneaker is again set to make a comeback in Summer 2025.
Retaining the same SKU as the 2022 release, this version is expected to remain identical to the last release, featuring a mixture of nubuck, TPU, and tumbled and smooth leather. The Auburn Tigers’ colors of blue, orange, and grey also make an appearance throughout the design, with the orange hues dominating the top of the tongue, the TPU wing supports on the lacing setup, and the semi-translucent TPU straps on the midfoot. As for the blue shades, these land on a leather panel near the lateral toe and the top plastic eyelets.
A large grey nubuck panel works its way from the toe to the heel tab, hosting debossed Nike text on the spine of the heel. As for the rest of the upper, we see perforated leather paneling in white along the toebox, midfoot, and collar, while smooth leather in white lines the mudguard. Underfoot sits a white and orange rubber midsole with an exposed Air unit in the heel paired with a navy, white, and orange outsole.
The Nike Air Trainer SC High Auburn will release in Summer 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $135, a $5 increase from the 2022 version.
