LeBron James has long admired Deion Sanders, growing up idolizing the NFL star’s on-field presence before developing a genuine friendship with him after establishing his own dominance in the NBA. As two of Nike’s most iconic athletes in recent history, it was inevitable that their personal connection would eventually be celebrated through footwear. Many of these collaborative moments have remained exclusive to James’ private collection, including the LeBron 7 “Heroes Pack”, which referenced Sanders’ time with the 49ers, and three distinct “LeBron Watch” 15s.

When James previously teased designs inspired by the Diamond Turf and Air DT Max ’96, even the most hopeful basketball shoe enthusiasts anticipated they would remain unreleased. However, Nike has now responded to public demand, first with the ’96 edition several months ago, and now with the Nike LeBron 21 Prime ’93 “Diamond Turf”.

About the Nike LeBron 21 Prime 93 “Diamond Turf”

Staying true to the original game-worn aesthetic, the “49ers” Diamond Turf is faithfully reinterpreted onto LeBron’s signature model, featuring its signature midfoot strap and mesh windows. The classic Bay Area color scheme of black, red, and white remains a stylish constant, completing the tribute.

Release Details

The Nike LeBron 21 Prime 93 “Diamond Turf” is set to launch on 17 July 2025 through SNKRS and other retailers, available exclusively in adult sizes for US$210. This release marks the second in a series transforming player-exclusive (PE) designs into public offerings, combining the core elements of the LeBron 21 with the iconic design of Deion Sanders’ Nike Air Diamond Turf.
