In pregame warm-ups at Arizona, Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders drew attention not only for his passing proficiency but also for his bold fashion statement.

Sanders was spotted wearing the green Nike Air Max Diamond Turf '96, a sleek new colorway of the classic shoe featuring a green base with white spikes. This footwear choice paid homage to his father, Deion Sanders, who originally popularized the Diamond Turf line during his Hall of Fame career. The colorway stood out on the field, combining style with a nod to his family’s legacy in sports.
