The Sanders brothers are planning a heist! We know how much game the family is when it comes to style and sneakers are a big part of it. While Deion Sanders recently relaunched his Nike Air DT Max ’96 sneakers, his son Shedeur received a stunning gift from LeBron James earlier this year. Still, Shedeur and his brother Deion Sanders Jr. have their eyes set on their father’s prime prize.

Deion Jr. has had his eyes peeled on Coach Prime’s white-and-red “Prime Years” for quite some time now. Sharing a picture of the sneakers, Deion Sanders wrote, “I found these in your office, you might as well let me wear these to Miami tomorrow – @deionsandersjr (I asked you on here because you can’t say no in front of everybody).”

The “Prime Year” LeBron is a special edition design that pays tribute to Deion Sander and James. Inspired by Deion’s classic Nike Air DT Max ’96 design, the shoes feature a vibrant red and white colorway with a black tongue and laces. The No. 21 represents both LeBron’s 21 years in basketball and Deion’s iconic jersey number. So there is little surprise as to why Bucky would want them. But little did he realize that his brother, Shedeur, too, was in the queue.

Underneath the post, the Buffs QB commented, “Bring them white on white ones.” This led to Bucky and Shedeur joining forces to wrest their dad’s treasured sneakers. With this, Deion Jr. came up with a reassurance, “I’m about to go to his office. I’ll FaceTime u in a second.” 

James debuted the Nike LeBron 21 in the “Prime Year” colorway in April as a sign of respect to Deion Sanders and his retro signature sneakers. The colorway signifies what Nike could achieve in a bygone era. The Buffs’ head coach was an ace athlete who straddled different sports. It is, therefore, apt that his cross-trainers are popular on the court.

Following this Sanders and Nike teamed up to relaunch Nike Air DT Max ’96 in June in the “Coach Prime” colorway. The colorway sports a black and white upper with gold detailing to match the Buffaloes’ football uniforms.

Meanwhile, Deion Sanders Jr. also posted pictures on Instagram where he flaunted a pair of white-and-gold Nike Air Max DT ’96s which he claimed to have ‘stolen’ from Shedeur. In the caption, Bucky revealed, “@deionsanders Shedeur took these shoes from your office, and I stole them from him.” Well, it looks like the alliance 

Still, Shedeur won’t sweat it too much, especially since he already has one from James’ collection.  

Shedeur received a pair of sneakers from “The King”

On October 24, last year, Deion’s QB son came up with his wish as he asked the NBA legend for shoes and a jersey after the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Denver Nuggets in the season’s opening match. He didn’t foresee the Lakers superstar making his starry-eyed dreams come true.

In February, James sent him a signed pair of game-used shoes worth $200, along with a personalized jersey complete with the crown. Shedeur’s treasure handed by the NBA star was worth $319. 

James’ sneakers were inspired by the claw marks on the Air DT Max ’96, commonly known as the Diamond Turf 3. The shoe also had a white-and-black color scheme with gold accents, corresponding to the Colorado Buffaloes’ color code. In addition to the red claw marks and gold accents, which remind us of Nike’s golden days, the LeBron 21 “Prime Year” colorway is a collector’s dream.

The NBA legend’s gift to Sheduer caught the attention of the Buffs lockerroom as they stopped to check and admire the goods. So, as it turns out Shedeur already has a legendary pair of cleats, but who is going to say no to having more such kicks?
