NFL legend and two-sport icon Deion Sanders continues to excite the sneaker community well after his playing days. While "Coach Prime" is still writing history as the head coach for the Colorado Buffaloes, it is fun to relive his glory days as a player.
Nike has done an excellent job of telling stories from Sanders' Hall of Fame career to a new generation of fans through his retro shoes.
So far, colorways have dropped for the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, and soon, the Dallas Cowboys.
