Deion Sanders took to social media on Friday to show off his Nike Air DT Max '96. The Colorado Buffaloes coach posted an image of the stylish sneakers with three colors — black, white and varsity maize — on his Instagram story.
Sanders also added a text to the post, which read:
"We Coming."
Sanders and Nike reunited their collaboration in July last year after the coach ended his partnership with Under Armour. It now appears that Coach Prime will market the Nike Air DT Max '96 before and during the 2024 college football season.
Per reports, Sanders had initially signed with Nike in 1992. However, their relationship turned sour, which led to an acrimonious split many years ago.
During an interview with Complex in 2017, Sanders said he would never work with Nike again. However, just over six years later, the Pro Football Hall of Famer has renewed ties with the sports apparel brand.
Notably, Sanders has been mocked by his children over his footwear in recent weeks. However, it appears that playful jibes from his family won't stop the former Jackson State coach from continuing to flaunt his upcoming signature product.
