There aren’t too many Nike spots around the world that have the same rich history as their Chicago retail experience, the massive store being a high volume account for as long as anyone can remember thanks in no small part to one Michael Jordan bringing so much energy to the Windy City. They’ve had their doors closed for a minute now though, with the grand re-opening taking place today, September 27th. The 50,000 square foot space is set to be steeped in Chicago history, paying homage via Chicago Bears historical photos, a complete collection of Jordan footwear on display, and more. And if that’s not enough for you Bo Jackson will be hanging out as well for the ribbon cutting. Click through for a full photo set on what’s poised to be one of Nike’s premier retail experiences and click through for the full word on the space from Nike.

Nike Trainers have come a long way from the mid-cut forefoot-strapped Air Trainer 1 to the modern-day Free or Air Max-soled renditions we see today. Combining state-of-the-art design and function with one of the most historic Air Trainers of all-time is this sick one-of-one sample of the Nike Air Max TR1 360 designed after Bo Jackson’s ‘Auburn’ colorway of the Nike Air Trainer SC; it clearly takes on some of the most notable details of the Air Trainer SC, like the perforated leather upper and the outrigger fortified by the tensile cables embedded into the material (a predecessor to Flywire, if you will). You won’t ever see these release, but this one-of-one sample is here for your viewing so check out the gallery below and see what the asking price is from identitiesrevealed on eBay.

“If I could just a little bit of sunshine in their life…”
Bo knows how to inspire. The multi-sport mega-athlete is embarking on a 300-mile biking journey through his home state of Alabama, which is currently mired in a state of disarray as it was recently hit with a massive tornado. Bo Jackson’s goal? To raise $1 million for the Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund to assist with the recovery. Joining him are a group of other prominent Nike athletes, like Ken Griffey Jr., Scottie Pippen, Lance Armstrong, and Picabo Street, and during this ride, Bo will wear four special colorways of the Nike LunarTR1 decorated in colors that represent his success and contributions to his former college and professional teams, like Auburn and the LA Raiders. At the end of the ride, a special event will take place this Saturday at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheatre with Bo, the families of the victims, ride sponsors, survivors, and more. Take a look at the inspirational video below and check out all four colorways of these ‘Bo Bikes ‘Bama’ colorways and let us know what you think.
