Mar 25 · Nike Air Diamond Turf – White – Black – Red + Black- Purple – Fall 2010

Deion Sanders was another big-name two-sport athlete that Nike endorsed in the 90s; Sanders possessed everything necessary for an athlete to become a successful market icon. The Nike Air Diamond Turf was easily one of the best of the 90s, with the sleek design and domineering velcro strap, and the 2004 re-release was a big thumbs up for fans of Turf trainers. 2010 will see another re-release of the OG colorway of the Turf Trainer, as we saw sample pics in our Fall 2010 Turf Trainer Preview. With the 49ers colorway already covered, we also now get a look at the OG black and purple colorway with sheer gold material that emanates the Baltimore Ravens color scheme to a tee. Look forward for these to release in Fall 2010.

these were way off back a few years for the retro, and they are still using that terrible template.

JUST SAY NO TO THIS CRAP

DO NOT EQUAL:

-black/white heel color should be flipped.
-forefoot white piece shouldnt go all the way through to the front toe

Terrible in my eyes from a historical perspective, but Nike has gotten away with it for years now. what else is new. We're talking two retro cycles now, spread apart atleast 6 years and the QA department still lets this slide.

The motto shall be ingrained into all of us by now, "Close enough is good enough".
 
WHy are they coming out with these again?

I remember them just being in stores in 2007. But we cant get a Air Force Command retro?????

These sat before, and will sit again. I'll probably get a pair on sale this time.

THAT'S what it is!!  Ever since I posted the pics, I kept looking at the black ones and wondering why they didn't look quite like I remembered the OG's.  Yeah, I hope they fix that before release day. The OG's were fire, it would be a shame if they dropped these instead.
 
^Don't count on them fixing that.These will get the DT Max treatment.
IGNORED!
 
i will cop the white joints since i passed on the last 2 retros. always liked that c/w, but never copped.
