“Those Are Hard”: Shilo Sanders Moves Past Bankruptcy Chapter To Celebrate Nike’s Tribute To Coach Prime And His Sons

Seems like Shilo Sanders is moving on from his lawsuit already. The youngster had everyone shocked when he lost the lawsuit to his former security guard in his school back in 2015, John Darjean. Filing for bankruptcy later when he was ordered to pay 11.89 million dollars, he is now continuing on and celebrating with his family. 

The much-anticipated release of Deion Sanders’ Nike Air DT Max ‘96 shoes saw them sold out in minutes. In an X post featuring a sleek photo of himself with his three sons, he captioned, “They said “I Sold Out,” they must’ve been talking bout my shoes.” This milestone is obviously a big deal for the family. The shoes nicknamed the “Varsity Maize”, are only part one of the story. With the release of the Nike DT 3 colorways, Sanders already teased a D1, which is yet to drop. No wonder why even Shilo came out of the woodwork to congratulate his dad! 

Shilo Sanders shows Dad love for selling out new shoes

In the Well Off Media episode on YouTube uploaded on June 14, Shilo Sanders and Deion Sanders Jr. made a sweet little conversation. The older brother captured the safety’s Nike Air DT Max ‘96 shoes and said, “These shoes just dropped today.” Shilo Sanders revealed more: “They posted our pictures on Nike today… Dad said you won the pictures.” Deion Sanders Jr. remained humble as he said, “All I did was Instagram.” But Shilo Sanders knows the worth as he said, “Nah, those are hard.”

Amidst the celebration, Shilo Sanders is still to put an end to the bankruptcy case. While he was ordered to pay the due amount after failing to show up in court, his attorney Victor Vital revealed to 247Sports’ Carl Reed, the 24-year-old Buffs safety is now fighting back, saying that he “cannot wait for the trial to share his [Shilo] side of the story.” Vital further added, “Since [Shilo] did not have the opportunity to present his case, the trial in the Bankruptcy Court will be the avenue for Shilo to present evidence of what happened and we look forward to vindicating Shilo’s rights in Court.” But as the case rests, for now, Shilo Sanders isn’t letting it get in the way of life. Supporting his dad’s new venture, he even did a photo shoot in the Nike DT 96′.

The Sanders celebrate their achievement with a sleek photo 

Shilo Sanders took to Instagram to encourage the fans the buy not only the shoes but the entire collection, “Shop the Nike Air DT Max 96, both sneaker and cleat, plus full apparel collection on Nike.com and select retailers today.” However, he went all out with his photoshoot to promote the footwear. He rocked an all-black outfit and a t-shirt with Prime’s face on it, complimented with the now sold-out shoe. 

The credit goes mainly to Coach Prime’s ability to sell out his signature shoes in minutes, but what also stood out is the pristine photography. As Deion Sanders Jr. reposted a fan’s reaction on his Instagram story which read, “Sports & sneakers aside, this is the hardest shoot in photography period in 2024 so far! Black excellence, pure opulence.” The rest of the photoshoot had all the Sanders men unite for an iconic photo in a similar outfit, with, of course, all wearing the pair. 

Nike-branded sneakers can boost moods and It’s heartening to witness Shilo Sanders’ spirit rising again after his unceremonious drag through the bankruptcy crisis, as the Sanders brothers celebrate the big moment.
