Colorado Buffaloes Football Head Coach Deion Sanders has brought an all new sense of swagger to Boulder, Colorado and it's no surprise due to the flair from his playing days. Signed to Nike since 1992, Sanders and the sneaker giant have been busy bringing back some of his signature sneakers from the 90's.

The Nike Air DT Max was first released in 1996 when Deion Sanders arrived to the Dallas Cowboys. It was the hybrid athlete's third signature shoe and the first to feature a Nike Air bubble unit. It was also the most aggressive model in terms of style, highlighted by the classic “claw” look through the upper.

The University of Colorado Football program has certainly gained a significant amount of hype over the last two years with Nike making Sanders and his athletes the center of their marketing for his signature line. Recently, “Prime Time” shared four upcoming colorways of the DT Max '96.
