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.
