Thanksgiving will come with the chance to buy a redone piece of nostalgia from the Detroit Lions past.
Nike is re-releasing 2,053 pairs of the Air Zoom Turf Jet 97 on Thursday, with 250 pairs being sold at Ford Field and the rest on Nike’s website. The total honors Sanders' rushing total from 1997.

Sanders, who wore the shoe during his career with the Lions, retired 20 years ago -- spurring Nike to re-release the limited edition footwear.
