On Tuesday, we noted how Barry Sanders had been cryptically posting videos of himself with puppies throughout the week. On Wednesday morning, we finally were given the reason for the delightful videos.
Sanders has partnered with Nike to release a replica of his 1997 Nike Air Zoom Turf Jet shoes that he worse during his NFL career. Yes, those puppies.
The new shoes have everything a nostalgic person could ever want. The velcro strap, the circus “LIONS” font, and the Honolulu Blue swirls all over it.
As a nice touch, Nike is releasing a limited amount of shoes for sale: 2,053—the exact number of rushing yards Sanders had in his best career year.
