Nike<\/a> is releasing a special edition sneaker to celebrate Deion Sanders<\/a>\u2019 historic achievement of playing in both an NFL<\/a> and MLB<\/a> game on the same day.<\/p>\n

Deion Sanders<\/a> is truly a \u201cone-of-one\u201d talent. From electrifying punt returns and game-changing interceptions to starring as a professional in two major sports leagues, \u201cPrime Time<\/a>\u201d has left a legacy that may never be matched. Now, Nike<\/a> is paying tribute to his legendary feat with the Nike Air DT Proto 92 \u201cBraves\u201d<\/a>, a sneaker that honors the iconic \u201cDeion Double Play<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Nike<\/strong> said<\/a>: \u201cThe retro Nike Air DT Proto ’92 is inspired by the day Deion Sanders suited up for both the Atlanta Falcons and Braves in October 1992.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Celebrating a Day for the History Books<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On October 11, 1992, Deion Sanders<\/a> did the impossible\u2014he played for the Atlanta Falcon<\/a>s in an NFL<\/a> game during the afternoon and then flew to Pittsburgh to join the Atlanta Braves<\/a> for a National League Championship Series game that same night. The Nike Air DT Proto 92 \u201cBraves\u201d<\/a> is designed to capture the spirit and energy of that unforgettable day.<\/p>\n

\n

Nike<\/strong> said<\/a>: \u201cThis special edition pays tribute to that defining moment in sports history with a bold, city-exclusive drop rumored to be limited to under 1,000 pairs. It will release exclusively in Atlanta during MLB All-Star Weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Prototype Brought to Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Air DT Proto 92 \u201cBraves\u201d<\/a> isn\u2019t just another retro\u2014it\u2019s a prototype that never saw a public release until now. This model retains the DNA of the original Diamond Turf line but brings back unique design features that were previously shelved. The sneaker boasts a black nubuck and mesh upper, white Swooshes, gold accents, and a striking red sockliner. The iconic \u201cNIKE\u201d strap and Deion\u2019s \u201cPrime Time\u201d logo on the tongue complete the look.<\/p>\n

\n

Nice Kicks<\/strong> said<\/a>: \u201cThe Proto 92, even more so than the more well-known Diamond Turf 1, is a throwback to Nike\u2019s renaissance. The white logos, red sock liner, on a mostly black nubuck material with Deion\u2019s signature gold, this model harkens back to the 1990-1994 design tendencies that made Nike the \u2018King of the Hill\u2019 they still are.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Colorway with a Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some fans may wonder why the \u201cBraves\u201d edition features so much black, since the Atlanta Brave<\/a>s\u2019 official colors don\u2019t include it. But in 1992, league rules required most shoes to be black or white, and many players\u2014including Sanders\u2014wore black, red, and white cleats with their uniforms. The chosen colorway is a nod to the era\u2019s style and practicality.<\/p>\n

\n

Sneaker News<\/strong> said<\/a>: \u201cMost major sports leagues in 1992 still adhered to mostly black or mostly white. Also, from a practical standpoint, navy next to black is a poor design choice as those colors bleed into each other. In turn, Nike and Sanders have opted to keep to the blk\/red\/wht colorway worn by Braves at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Limited Atlanta Release<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nike hasn\u2019t announced a full national release yet, but sneaker insiders report that a shock drop is planned for Atlanta during Major League Baseball\u2019s All-Star break, between July 12\u201315. Only 1,000 pairs will be available, making this one of the most exclusive sneaker drops of the year. Past Deion Sanders releases have been held at Lenox Square, so history could repeat itself.<\/p>\n

\n

Kicks on Fire<\/strong> said<\/a>: \u201cThe sneaker is rumored to be limited to under 1,000 pairs and will reportedly drop exclusively in Atlanta during the MLB All-Star Weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A wider release for the Nike Air DT Proto 92 \u201cBlack\u201d is expected in Fall 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com<\/a>, with a retail price of $155.<\/p>\n

For fans of Deion Sanders, Atlanta sports, or sneaker history, the Nike Air DT Proto 92 \u201cBraves\u201d is more than just a shoe\u2014it\u2019s a piece of sports folklore brought to life. As Sanders himself put it:<\/p>\n

\n

Deion Sanders<\/strong> said<\/a>: \u201cI told you \u2018We were Coming\u2019! #CoachPrime @nike<\/a> @nikefootball<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
