Nike Brings Back Deion Sanders' Air Diamond Turf for the Gridiron

The iconic Air Diamond Turf silhouette, famously worn by NFL legend Deion "Prime Time" Sanders, is making a comeback - but this time it's designed for the actual turf.

Nike is dropping a new version of the Air Diamond Turf specifically engineered for on-field performance. Featuring the classic "Falcons" colorway, this updated model combines the original design DNA with modern upgrades to make it game-ready.

The upper features a full leather construction with the signature thick midfoot strap and light gold mesh paneling that defined the original. However, Nike has added a compression ankle sleeve for a locked-in fit and stability. Underneath, the shoes are equipped with the Vapor Edge plate, providing the traction and support needed for the rigors of the football field.

"Coach Prime's re-emergence to the forefront of American football culture has paved the way for a proper return of his Nike classics," the brand stated. "Although short-lived, the Diamond Turf series is as strong as ever as it intends to expand its product line beyond the streets."

Sneakerheads and football fans alike will be able to get their hands on these on-field Deion Sanders shoes starting January 30, 2025 for $220. For those looking for a more casual, street-ready version, an earlier release is planned for January 24th at $150.

With Deion Sanders back in the spotlight as a high-profile college football coach, the timing couldn't be better for the return of this iconic silhouette. The Air Diamond Turf is poised to once again capture the hearts and minds of both style-conscious sneakerheads and performance-driven athletes.
