Nike's revival of the 1994 classic is the latest chapter in Sanders' enduring influence on sneaker culture. Originally designed to match Sanders' rare two-sport dominance in the NFL and MLB, the Air Diamond Turf 1 featured a midfoot strap, bold color blocking and a logo symbolizing both sports. The shoe quickly became synonymous with Sanders' flashy persona and remains a staple in the history of signature athletic footwear.
While many fans associate the Diamond Turf line with Sanders' 1994 season in San Francisco, the original model is tied to his early years in Atlanta with the Falcons and Braves.
The design's roots reflect the era when Sanders' star power first captivated the sports world. He's the only player to hit a home run and score a touchdown in the same week. A feat that will likely go untouched in history.

Also, Sanders' continued relevance in sports and fashion is evident. His return to Nike after years with Under Armour has only amplified excitement around his retro line.

Brother of NFL star commits to Kirby Smart and Georgia football in 2026 recruiting class
Kirby Smart helped Alabama land Minkah Fitzpatrick before he went on to become a five-time Pro Bowl safety in the NFL. Now the Georgia football coach has secured a commitment from his younger brother, Justice Fitzpatrick. Advertisement The 6-foot- 1/2 , 205-pound four-star cornerback from Fort Lauderdale picked the Bulldogs over Texas, Ohio State, Florida and Miami, according to his X account on Tuesday June 3. Smart in 2018 told the recruiting story of Minkah Fitzpatrick to Alabama. Smart and then offensive line coach Mario Cristobal were higher on him than coach Nick Saban. "[Saban] didn't like Minkah at one point," Smart told "That, to me, was just crazy because Mario Cristobal and I were fighting like hell [for Fitzpatrick]. We thought he was such a good kid." Justice Fitzpatrick, who plays for St. Thomas Aquinas, is the nation's No. 47 overall prospect and No. 3 cornerback. Advertisement Minkah Fitzpatrick played at Alabama from 2015-2017, winning the Jim Thorpe Award as nation's top defensive back in his last season. He was a Dolphins first-round pick, but traded from Miami in 2018. He has played with the Steelers since then.

Yankees-Red Sox Blockbuster Trade Possibility Would Bring $120M Superstar to Bronx
The New York Yankees may be looking for infielders near the trade deadline. The team has been using DJ LeMahieu and Jorbit Vivas at second base and plans to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to third base after Oswaldo Cabrera's injury. However, LeMahieu is hitting just .239 in 15 games and has a .640 OPS. He is no longer the same player who won two batting titles and three Silver Sluggers. The Yankees could add an infielder to move LeMahieu into a bench role. One player who could surprisingly be available is Alex Bregman of the Boston Red Sox. He signed a three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox in the offseason, but is on the injured list right now. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are struggling and may very well be sellers by the time the July 31 deadline rolls around. CBS Sports' Matt Snyder named Bregman as a player the team could trade away, and the Yankees may be willing to make it happen. NEW YORK, NY - MAY 14: Alex Bregman #2 of the Houston Astros reacts after hitting a grand slam in the frst inning against the New York Yankees in Game 2 on May 14, 2017... NEW YORK, NY - MAY 14: Alex Bregman #2 of the Houston Astros reacts after hitting a grand slam in the frst inning against the New York Yankees in Game 2 on May 14, 2017 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx borough of New York City."I think the biggest and most intriguing name is Alex Bregman," wrote Snyder. "He just went through a lengthy free agency before landing with the Red Sox on a creative three-year deal, but it has an opt-out clause after this season. He's injured right now, but prior to that was having his best season in years, perhaps even since he finished second in MVP voting in 2019 (that's what things like batting average, OPS+ and WAR say). If things continue on this path, Bregman could well be the big name this trade season." Bregman's contract has an opt-out after this season, so the Red Sox are risking him walking for nothing in return. He was hitting .299/.385/.553 with 11 home runs before his injury and would most likely find a better contract on the open market. For the Yankees, Bregman would be able to slot in as the everyday third baseman, allowing Chisholm to play second base, where he started the season. He would be a clear upgrade for their infield and will likely end up being a rental. Even if Bregman does not opt out, his payroll is just $25 million for this season, as his deal has $60 million in deferred money. Adding him as a rental would cost the Yankees a lot of prospect capital as is, but adding him from the Red Sox would cost them even more. However, it is a price the Yankees may be willing to pay in order to maximize their chance at a World Series this year. Meanwhile, the Red Sox may have to come to terms with the fact that trading him to the Yankees may yield the best return. If their season slips away, then they will have to seriously consider trading Bregman. More MLB: Yankees Bring Back All-Star, Place Reliever on IL in Massive Roster Move

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is optimistic about recovery from shoulder injury
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tyler Glasnow is feeling optimistic about his recovery from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him since late April, one of five Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitchers who are on the injured list. There's no timetable yet for his return. The 31-year-old right-hander got hurt against Pittsburgh on April 27. He was recently moved to the 60-day IL. 'My shoulder is totally fine,' he said Tuesday. Glasnow downplayed the general body soreness that manager Dave Roberts mentioned on Monday. He said back tightness after a bullpen session prompted a precautionary decision to rest him for a few days. 'We're both on the same wavelength,' he said of himself and the team. His shoulder feels better, he said, and he plans to throw a bullpen session later this week. He played catch in the outfield Tuesday. 'I'll be back as soon as I can in a healthy way to help the team in the playoffs is my goal,' he said. Last season, Glasnow didn't pitch in the postseason because of right elbow tendinitis. He signed a $135.5 million, five-year deal before the 2024 season. Also Tuesday, the Dodgers signed right-hander José Ureña, who was designated for assignment last weekend by Toronto. He was 0-0 with a 3.65 ERA in six appearances for the Blue Jays. He began the season with the New York Mets, giving up five runs in three innings of his lone appearance. Ureña, 33, has spent 11 years in the majors with Miami, Detroit, Milwaukee, Colorado, the Chicago White Sox, Texas, the Mets and Blue Jays. He is 44-77 with a 4.78 ERA in 239 games. The Dodgers also optioned right-handed pitcher Will Klein to Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated catcher Chuckie Robinson for assignment. ___ AP MLB:
