Nike LeBron 21 “Diamond Turf Max 96” sneaker: Everything we know so far

Another fresh iteration in the Nike LeBron 21 lineup, Diamond Turf Max 96, has shared its first look just before Super Bowl LVIII, offering new footwear that is themed on Diamond Turf. LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers player, paid tribute to his childhood idol Deoin Sanders through this sneaker.

The 21st season of the NBA became a significant event for LeBron and the number was worn by Deion Sanders as well. Both incidents drove the release of the sneaker, and the first look of LeBron 21 confirms it.

Taking the theme of Deion's Diamond Turf, this sneaker will incorporate the black and white color scheme while the golden touch will add elegance. However, the release date of the sneaker has not been published yet. As per Sneaker Bar Detroit, it might come in the latter part of this year.
