UPDATE 5/12/26: The Nike Air Diamond Turf Max 96 Low “Black/White” is set to release May 22nd via SNKRS. Available in men’s and kids’ sizing, the retail for the adult pairs are set at $170 USD.

Original Story 4/1/26:
Deion Sanders’ signature line continues to build momentum, and now it’s stepping into new territory. The classic Nike Air DT Max 96 is being reworked into a low-top version, signaling a fresh direction for one of Nike’s most recognizable ’90s designs.

This new low-cut edition keeps the DNA of the original intact while adjusting it for a more seasonal feel. The bulky, aggressive shape remains, along with the signature side cut-outs that reveal a mesh base. However, the shortened collar gives the shoe a lighter, more casual edge that fits better with warmer weather styling. The approach mirrors how Nike has modernized other retro models, trimming them down without losing their identity.

To introduce the updated silhouette, Nike leans on a familiar color scheme. The white, black, and gold combination returns, staying true to the look that helped define the original high-top version. It’s a safe but effective choice that connects longtime fans to the new build.

The Nike Air DT Max 96 Low is expected to release May 22, 2026 through select retailers and Nike.com. It will be offered in adult and grade school sizing, with adult pairs retailing for $170.
