^ KO = Knockout. Canvas material of the shoes is similar to that used on a boxing shoe.
good lookin out
KO does NOT mean knockout. I remember a article where Gentry was asked this question, and he had no idea. Apparently it's just a code for the canvas version of the AJ1...
Edit: Boxing shoes are made of leather, NOT canvas. The ring floor is canvas...
Yeah, all of the KO stories I've heard involved the floor, not the shoes. Interesting to learn that the KO had no actual significance though.
