Nike’s planned retro treatment next year for Deion Sanders’ first signature shoe, the Air Diamond Turf, will include this new colorway previewed on the popular YouTube vlog of his son Deion Sanders Jr. The vlog doesn’t give any details on the sneaker, tucking a quick clip of it at the end of a 20-minute episode.
A sneaker industry source tells Complex that this pair will be dubbed the “Must Be the Money” Air Diamond Turf in reference to the elder Sanders’ song of the same name. The shoe, which uses a white leather base and accents in gold and light blue, is slated for release as part of Nike’s Fall 2025 lineup.
The shoe in the clip has barely visible “SAMPLE” text on the liner and a set of sample tags.
What else does Nike have in the works for Sanders’ retros? The original white, black, and red colorway from 1993 is coming back, as is the black-based “Ravens” version. According to Sole Retriever, next year’s Diamond Turf will retail for $150.
Sanders’ line of Nikes shoes was popular during his peak in the 1990s, but their relationship soured in the 2000s when Nike reissued his shoes after Sanders’ endorsement contract was up. Sanders later signed with Under Armour and vowed to never work with Nike again. He eventually re-signed with Nike in 2023. Since then, it’s reintroduced steadily more old Sanders shoes, like this year’s retro of the DT Max ‘96.
