Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 OG HQ2631-600

The return of Deion Sanders shoes to the Nike catalog has been highly celebrated among the OG sneakerhead crowd, with the Air DT Max 96 and original Air Diamond Turf both earning warm receptions since re-entering the brand’s catalog. Now that Deion’s signature line is fully back in play, we’re learning that the Air Diamond Turf 2 is the latest model being primed for a retro run. Last seen in 2012, we’re learning the sneaker’s original “Red/Gold” colorway is expected to come back during the Spring 2026 window.

The Air Diamond Turf 2 was originally released in 1994 when Deion laced up for the San Fransisco 49ers. As for the “Diamond” part of his career, Deion also played in MLB for the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds that year. While most clearly aligned with his football squad, this “Red/Gold” colorway fits in well with all three franchises.

Deion’s second Diamond Turf model pulls from its predecessor with a distinguishable lace strap, but differs with a new base featuring helix-shaped cutouts. Gold text reading “Diamond Turf” appears on the tongue, complemented by Deion’s signature logo on the heel.

Again, the Air Diamond Turf OG “Red/Gold” is set to return during the Spring 2026 shopping window (meaning between January-March). Budget for a retail price of $170 if you’re considering copping.
