"Need y'all to blow Nike up": Deion Sanders makes clear request to Colorado faithful, shows off cleats & sneakers from latest collab
Deion Sanders has made a request to the Colorado fans after releasing his new Nike cleats and sneakers. In an Instagram video that he posted on Thursday, Coach Prime was seen endorsing the sports apparel brand and flaunting some of his new cleats in collaboration with Nike.
"New 🔥 Brought to you by @usnikefootball I need y’all to blow @usnikefootball up! #CoachPrime" Sanders captioned the IG video.
Sanders has a long history with Nike. He was signed by the brand in 1992 when he was in his prime in the NFL.
Sanders worked with Nike for several years before their relationship ended in 2017. At the time, Sanders said he would never work with the brand again.
However, in July last year, Sanders announced that he was teaming up with Nike after leaving his collaboration with Under Armour. Coach Prime has also released some flashy sneakers and cleats with the brand since then, and it appears that their partnership is now blooming.
While Sanders has been endorsing his new sneakers and cleats with Nike, he will soon shift his focus on his Colorado team heading into the final stretch of the college football regular season.
Deion Sanders' Colorado will aim to qualify for College Football Playoff this season
Deion Sanders has done a fantastic job with No.16 Colorado (8-2, 6-1 in Big 12) this season. The Buffaloes are in contention to reach the College Football Playoff if they win their two remaining regular season games.
Colorado has been one of the most improved teams in the country this year. The Buffs finished last season with a dismal 4-8 record, failing to qualify for a bowl game.
This season, the Buffs have an opportunity to go toe to toe with some of the best teams in the country if they qualify for the playoffs. Their chances of reaching the playoffs are also boosted by the performances of two Heisman contenders, quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter.
