Football news can get a bit slow between Draft Day and Pre-Season. Some of us prepare for the fantasy frenzy, while others check in on their new rookies’ practice reports. However, we have a breaking story that everyone can look forward to this month, especially with the historical revival of the Air DT Max!
Deion Sanders, “Prime Time”
53 interceptions, two-time Super Bowl Champion, and the only athlete to play in both a Super Bowl and a World Series… Mr. Deion Sanders! Not only is he an icon of football, but he’s also an influential cultural symbol too. With his powerful performances in the game field and undeniable attitude outside it, Sanders, better yet known as “Prime Time”, has managed to capture sports enthusiasts all over the world. The news of his Air DT Max coming back was like adding more fuel to the already high excitement.
After Deion Sanders finished his football career, he remained closely connected to the sport. Football served as a steady compass in his life. After coaching at the high school level from 2012 to 2019, Sanders moved to HBCU Jackson State for three seasons before taking on his current position as the Head Coach for the Colorado Buffaloes. From analyzing plays on television to nurturing young talent, “Prime Time” has continually kept himself engaged in the dynamic football scene, always shaping the game with his influential tactics.
The Air DT Max ’96, “Diamond Turf”
We can talk about Prime Time’s legacy all day, but we gotta get into the goods. The Air DT Max ’96 returns and Nike is set to introduce some notable updates, but one thing’s certain, that classic goalpost logo on the tongue and insole remains and continues to pay homage to Sanders’ playing days.
Here’s the kicker (pun intended): The new Air DT Max showcases “Coach Prime” present-day logos on the heel pull tabs, thereby infusing it with a contemporary twist. The classic silhouette comes back with that white leather foundation paired with black nubuck panels – creating its cherished ripple-like design. The accents on each Swoosh adds a pop of color, enhancing the shoe’s visual appeal, the midfoot strap and football logo on the tongue finish off the look, reminding us the Air Max DT is a revered classic from the Air Max era. Standing out with its dynamic design and superior craftsmanship, this sneaker is the pinnacle of timeless style and performance.
