Deion Sanders' Nike Ad Takes Over Dallas Cowboys Stadium

In this story:
The Colorado Buffaloes had a disappointing season, but it is safe to expect head coach Deion Sanders to lead his team back to competitiveness next year. In the meantime, Sanders remains atop the footwear industry.
Few, if any, former athletes are as influential in the sneaker world as Sanders. His retro Nike shoes have dropped in several original and new colorways, almost all of which have sold out quickly online.
Following the Dallas Cowboys' Christmas Day victory over the Washington Commanders, Sanders showed love to the Cowboys while promoting his Nike sneakers with a larger-than-life ad depicted inside AT&T Stadium.

On Friday morning, Sanders shared an AI-generated picture of an oversized pair of his Nike Air Diamond Turf "Cowboys" sneakers taking over the field inside of Jerry's World.
It is a pretty apt metaphor for Sanders' outsized influence among old-school NFL fans and sneakerheads. After reuniting with Nike in July 2023, the first two models from Sanders' signature line have enjoyed strong comebacks.
The Nike Air Diamond Turf "Cowboys" dropped earlier this month on December 5, 2025. Below is everything fans need to know about the legendary sneakers and how to buy them before they are entirely gone.

The Nike Air Diamond Turf was first released as a cross trainer in 1994 and has received a "street-ready refresh." This updated version features Air units in the heel and forefoot, plus durable leather and a midfoot strap for a secure fit.
The silhouette sports a white upper with College Navy overlays. Meanwhile, Metallic Silver accents provide the perfect pop on Sanders' logo and the legendary "Nike Air" branding on the heels.
