With Deion Sanders back at the forefront of sports and culture as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Nike has capitalized on the renewed attention by re-releasing his iconic signature sneakers from the '90s. The Nike Air DT Max 96 has been leading the charge, with the sneaker soon coming in Home and Away colorways inspired by Sanders’ role in Boulder. Nike is adding a third iteration to the collection, this time in a White Vegas Gold colorway.
Previously seen on the feet of Sanders, the Nike Air DT Max 96 White Vegas Gold features a premium construction that blends smooth white leather, breathable mesh, and luxurious Vegas Gold tumbled leather accents. The sneaker’s distinctive slashed midfoot panels—hallmarks of the DT Max 96—come in white leather, contrasting sharply against the gold detailing. Black hits are strategically placed on the Swoosh logos and Deion branding on the strap, collar, and tongue. The sneaker also incorporates P21ME branding on the pull tab, a nod to Sanders’ famous Prime Time nickname, previously seen on the friends and family iteration of the Black Varsity Maize from earlier in the year. Beneath the striking upper, Vegas Gold wraps around the midsole, seamlessly connecting the design elements. The white rubber outsole features the iconic Air bubble near the heel, enhanced with a portrait of Deion Sanders’ face, adding a personal touch to this college-inspired release.
The Nike Air DT Max 96 White Vegas Gold will release on August 28, 2024, via a Shock Drop through Nike SNKRS. A wider release is yet to be announced. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $170. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
