The Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 "Black/Gym Red" Releases November 2026

Nike is bringing back the Air Diamond Turf 2 this Fall 2026 with a patent leather build that leans into the personality of the shoe's signature athlete, Deion Sanders. The "Black/Gym Red" colorway keeps things largely dark and glossy, letting the material choice do most of the visual work while a few bright accents break up the monochromatic base.

Patent black covers the majority of the upper, including the large overlays that wrap the sides and the midfoot strap, one of the defining construction details that sets the Air Diamond Turf 2 apart from other cross-training silhouettes of its era. Black carries through into the midsole as well, keeping the palette consistent from top to bottom. Gym Red picks up around the branding, heel, and pull tabs, while Metallic Gold appears more sparingly across smaller details, adding contrast without pulling focus from the dark overall build.

The patent finish connects naturally to Sanders' Prime Time image, a period defined as much by his wardrobe and persona as by his play on the field. The black and red combination also echoes the aesthetic he was associated with during his peak years. Beneath the updated material treatment, the DT 2 retains its original heavy tooling, layered panel construction, and strapped silhouette from the early 1990s cross-training era.
