Nike Air DT Max '96 Low Black Metallic Gold

Deion Sanders’ Nike line is in the middle of a retro renaissance. Pushed by his status on the sidelines at the University of Colorado and his son Shadeur’s heavily publicized rookie year in the NFL, Prime Time is once again, well, prime time, and Nike is cashing in with a retro run of the Nike Diamond Turf line, including the iconic Diamond Turf 2 and the DT Max ‘96.

The latest colorway of the Nike DT Max ‘96 crosstrainer set for a 2026 release is a classic black and white pair with gold accents, but for the first time ever it’s getting cut down to a low-top. On top of the men’s pairs we already reported on last year, it turns out the kids will get a shot at this colorway as well. For kids who love the Nike Ja 3, with its animal scratch paneling, the clawed up paneling of the DT Max ‘96 should be a familiar sight in retro packaging.

On the black and white colorway, the pair starts with black nubuck on the toebox and half of the side panel, with more black on the tongue and laces, and textured white leather on the base of the side panels, as if they were scratched out of the black nubuck. Gold accents are added on the Swooshes at the vamp and the lateral heel, plus the stitching on the lace panel.

The Nike Air DT Max '96 Low Black Metallic Gold will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in full-family sizing, the retail prices are set at $170 (men), $132 (GS), $122 (PS), and $112 (TD).
