Nike To Release Deion Sanders’ Air Diamond Turf Max ’96

The expected arrival to retailers is during the month of November when fans and sneakerheads can purchase the footwear at $170.

Coach Prime previously wore a different colorway of the Nike Air DT Max ’96 when he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys back in the 90s. They were his third signature sneaker with Nike and were released in 1996.

Last year, shortly after signing with Colorado, Coach Prime announced that he re-signed with the sports apparel giant. He left Nike in 2017 after being disappointed that the brand did not adequately compensate him for designing his own shoe. At the time, he vowed to never work with them again.

The Nike Air Diamond Turf debuted in 1993, according to Complex. There were follow-up versions of the original: The Air Diamond Turf 2 came out in 1994. The Diamond Turf Max ’96 was released two years later. In 1997, the Air Diamond Turf 4 went on sale, and then the last in the series, the Air Diamond Turf 5, debuted in 1998.

The University of Colorado has had an exclusive contract with Nike since 1995. In the contract Sanders signed after leaving Jackson State University after three successful seasons, he is required to wear Nike gear supplied by the sneaker company.
