Detroit — Commemorating the 20th anniversary of his retirement, as well as his most productive season, Nike is releasing a limited-edition Barry Sanders shoe on Thanksgiving that will be sold both at Ford Field as well as on the shoemaker's website.
Named the Nike Air Zoom Turf Jet 97, and modeled after the cleats Sanders wore during his playing career, only 2,053 pairs will be made. That correlates with the number of yards Sanders rushed for during the 1997 season.
