Saturday night was another epic moment for the Deion Sanders era in Boulder, Colorado. Almost every college football fan in the country stayed up late to watch the Colorado Buffaloes defeat the Colorado State Rams in a double-overtime thriller. 

Everything from ESPN College GameDay to Lil Wayne's pregame concert was glamorous. Once known as "Primetime" and now "Coach Prime," Sanders showed he is still as electric as ever. So, with all eyes on the field, it was only fitting that Sanders debut another unreleased pair of his Nike sneakers.

Sanders wore a black, white, and gold colorway of his player-exclusive Nike DT React training shoes. Last week, we discussed how Nike has designed unique sneakers for Sanders to help him combat his lower-body health issues.

Similar to Sanders' signature shoes from the 1990s, the Nike DT React has been retooled with the brand's React technology. Not only has the cushion been upgraded, but the unreleased model features special "Coach Prime" branding throughout the shoe.

Sanders has proven capable of shaking up the NCAA landscape with ease. Last season, the University of Colorado was essentially giving away tickets to its football games. This season, celebrities and professional athletes are cramming into Folsom Field to be part of the excitement.

At this time, Sanders' sneakers have not hit shelves. Additionally, all of the "Coach Prime" apparel on Nike's website sold out quickly after being restocked earlier this month. Luckily, it is only a matter of time before fans get another shot at purchasing Sanders' merchandise online. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news from the sports world.
