Roman Reigns is a WWE champion with a massive fan base. He has been missing from WWE action ever since WrestleMania almost four months ago, but made an appearance on Monday Night Raw in style. In a 3-way match that included Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM. Reigns return to the ring was not a scheduled match. He jumped in during that broadcast to come to the aid of Jey Uso and and CM Punk.
The big sneaker news amidst Reigns big return was the presence of Deion Sanders' Nike Air Diamond Turf 1 “Atlanta”. This is the first signature shoe Deion Sanders wore as a player in its original Atlanta Falcons colorway. Reigns wearing Nike “heat” in the ring is not new and has worn any number of high end sneakers. His choices have always been received well by the sneaker community. Whether its rare AJ1s or Travis Scott collabs, Reigns has never been shy about wearing something rare in the ring.
Reigns in Diamond Turfs seems be a first though. Which is only made more interesting when we consider he’s wearing the same colorway fans can easily obtain through Nike or their retail partners. This was not an elite exclusive. Only further proving the point that Deion Sanders’ signature line moves the needle without unnecessary hype. The Diamond Turf collection is not a "must have" for flippers and resellers making them much more accessible for regular fans.
While the Diamond Turf 1 were released earlier this year, most sizes are still available at only a modest markup from 3rd party retailers. Fans might want to act fast though, as the Roman Reigns spot on Monday Night Raw might actually raise the demand on a shrinking supply.
