While the star players of college football like JJ McCarthy and Travis Hunter got engaged this year, Deion Sanders’ relationship with his sneakers trended as the hottest one, stealing the spotlight from them. Prime’s love for sneakers is no secret, a public affair rather. However, it became the talk of the town after Deion Sanders signed a contract with Nike, the $158.10 billion sneaker giant. Their collaborations became a dream come true for each die-hard Buffs and sneakers fans, including Shilo Sanders.

Shilo Sanders had sky-high dreams when his father joined hands with Nike, wishing hard to get his hands on the best merch. However, they quickly shattered as Deion Sanders kept dragging Shilo Sanders back to the reality world whenever he lost it, after seeing Prime wearing new kicks almost every other day. When Shilo Sanders said, “I have the same ones” Prime was quick to retort with “ Nah, those aren’t the same ones,” resulting in Shilo Sanders’ being hilariously disappointed. After all, it was one of the most awaited combos by not only the football but also the basketball community of the season at stake.

Deion Sanders was flaunting the latest kicks from Lakers’ star, Le Bron James merch as he donned Air DT Max ’96, better known as LeBron 21. So, getting straight to the naming of the shoes, Deion Sanders asked his fans the better option among Prime LeBron’s or LeBron Prime’s, as he gave a “shoutout to my dwag LeBron.” Shilo and the ones around him were in awe as Prime proudly showed off LeBron James’s collection.

As the name suggests, the fancy kicks commemorate LeBron James’s 21st season in the NBA, along with the launch of his 21st pair of sneakers. The color scheme of the shoes paid a special tribute to Coach Prime, featuring his signature colorway. The LeBron 21 ‘Coach Prime’ colorway was launched in September 2023, along with other colorway variants of the LeBron 21 collection. James honoring Deion Sanders shows the friendly relationship kindling between Sanders’ family and James.

Hunter had asked a favor from James then, a signed jersey, and James promised to send him a personalized care package. So, when it arrived in Colorado, they couldn’t be happier. Shedeur Sanders could not stop showing off his LeBron James signed jersey and the special LeBron basketball shoes, as the Well Off Media covered.
