Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, continues to dominate headlines—both on and off the football field. While leading the Colorado Buffaloes and coaching his son Shedeur Sanders, a potential first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Deion is also bringing back one of his most iconic sneakers: the Nike Air Diamond Turf.
A Blast from the Past
First released in 1993, the Nike Air Diamond Turf became synonymous with Deion Sanders' legendary two-sport career in football and baseball. The standout colorway, inspired by Deion’s time with the San Francisco 49ers, has been reimagined for a Retro release.
The sneaker retains most of its original features, including the tongue and heel markings, but some changes are evident, such as the slightly less golden tone of the mesh netting on the mid-foot strap. Fans of the original will appreciate its faithful design while noting these subtle updates.
What’s New?
In addition to the lifestyle version, on-field cleat versions of the Air Diamond Turf have also been spotted. These cleats, designed in Home and Away colorways, are set to make waves during this football season, highlighting Deion's influence on both the game and sneaker culture.
Release Details
The Nike Air Diamond Turf Retro is set to drop on February 12th, 2025, just days after Super Bowl LIX, at a price of $150. This timing ensures it will have the full attention of football fans and sneakerheads alike.
With this re-release, fans can expect a wave of new colorways inspired by the original 1993 lineup and some modern takes that celebrate Deion Sanders' legacy.
Mark your calendars—this is a must-have for collectors and fans of the legendary Coach Prime!
