Last year, LeBron James showed his love for Deion Sanders, who, after years of disavowing Nike, returned to The Swoosh and began to drop his old signature sneakers by wearing a special pair of the Nike LeBron 21. This pair combined details from the Air DT Max ‘96 onto what was then his latest signature sneaker. While we know this pair will be released later this year, new images of another Deion-inspired Nike LeBron 21 have appeared — the LeBron 21 Prime 93.
LeBron’s 21st signature sneaker transforms, borrowing branding details and design elements from the Nike Air Diamond Turf, the first signature model from Deion Sanders’ Nike line. Paneling is redone to mimic the upper of the Diamond Turf, including the iconic Nike-branded lockdown strap on the forefoot, the mesh paneling on the midfoot, and the toebox’s perforations and stitching. Prime Time logos replace the LeBron logo atop the tongue, while golden Nike Air text is embroidered onto the heel tab.
The pair mimics the color scheme of the 49ers colorway, which was recently re-released in OG fashion. Finishing the upper are the gold hits trimming the white leather panels, the red sockliner, and the metallic red eyelets. Down below, the LeBron 21’s tooling setup remains untouched but comes coated in black, white, and red.
The Nike LeBron 21 Prime 93 will release on May 9, 2025, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $180.
