The Nike Air DT Max ‘96 Low “Black/White” is the latest installment in Deion Sanders’ sneaker saga. The original Air DT Max ‘96 was a household turf trainer in the mid-1990s thanks to its iconic zig-zag overlays and unmistakable presence.

The upcoming low-top model for Summer 2026 is no less distinct. Nike streamlines the silhouette while keeping the same “Black/Metallic Gold/White” color scheme. The upper is defined by leather panels and the shoe’s signature cutout design. Small matte gold Swooshes on the sidewalls are a subtle contrast to zig-zag stitching that unapologetically echoes the original sneaker’s swagger. A visible Air unit in the heel grounds the Air DT Max ‘96 Low in performance heritage.

The Air DT Max ‘96 was built to meet Deion Sanders’ powerful explosiveness on both the gridiron and the baseball diamond. The energy around the original remains inseparable from his larger-than-life persona. The return of the Air DT Max ‘96, now in a low-top configuration, is a welcomed addition to any sneaker rotation that still oozes attitude. The lower profile gives the shoe a sleeker look and feel that is more in line with current tastes. That fresh energy makes it stand out from the pack of sneaker returns.
