Deion Sanders’ legacy continues as the former dual-sport athlete and signature shoe athlete-turned-head coach has another colorway for his iconic Nike Air Diamond Turf Max ’96 model with the Nike Air Diamond Turf Max ’96 “Love Letter to Connie” iteration.

Following a series of OG and Colorado-themed releases, the DT Max ’96 goes deeper with the storytelling as the latest iteration is inspired by Deion’s mother, Connie Sanders.
Arriving in an all-red look with white details, the upcoming colorway is a testament to Prime Time’s love for his mother in the form of a sneaker.
