Colorado Buffaloes head coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders made his child’s day by gifting her multiple pairs of his signature sneakers.

“Guess what came in the mail ,” his daughter and Alabama A&M basketball player Shelomi Sanders wrote at the top of her Instagram story on Sunday, along with a picture of the shoes inside the box.

Deion Sanders, 57, signed a new deal with Nike alongside his son and Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders in 2024. He then rereleased his Diamond Turf signature shoe in the "Colorado Home" and "Colorado Away" colorways in September.

He also released a version of the sneakers in the "DT Max ‘96 Falcons" style in November. When Sanders shoes were rereleased in the purple and black "Ravens" colorway on May 25, they sold out within 10 minutes on the Nike SNKRS app, demonstrating their popularity among his fans and sneaker enthusiasts.

Furthermore, Sanders released the shoes in the "Black and White" version on Thursday. The sneakers were made to highlight his former two-sport greatness as he used to split time between playing in the MLB and NFL while captivating fans with his swagger and ability to play both sports at a high level.

Sanders also uses his shoes as a gift for his children and players. For instance, on Oct. 10, he gifted a pair of the Nike LeBron Prime Shoes to his son and Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Shilo Sanders, which started a hilarious feud with former Colorado and now Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter.

Sanders' Diamond Turf sneakers prove his brand's popularity among fans, players and his children.
