Where to Buy the Nike Air DT Max ’96 “Love Letter to Connie”
Published:May 01, 2025
Love and respect take center stage this spring with the upcoming release of the Nike Air DT Max ’96 “Love Letter to Connie,” a bold tribute to Deion Sanders’ mother, slated to hit shelves just before Mother’s Day.
Originally introduced in the mid-‘90s, the Nike Air DT Max ’96 became synonymous with Sanders’ magnetic personality and unmatched athleticism. Now, nearly three decades later, Nike reimagines the silhouette through a deeply personal lens. This new take brings fresh life to the retro design, drenched in a striking fusion of red tones.
The upper is dressed in “Red Crush” leather, complemented by bright “University Red” overlays. A “Red Crush” foam midsole with visible Air Max cushioning provides underfoot comfort and cements the all-red look. Thoughtful detailing, such as the thoughtful lettering on the insoles, adds emotional depth to the sneaker.
Whether you're a long-time Prime fan, a lover of bold ‘90s retros, or someone who appreciates kicks that carry meaning, the “Love Letter to Connie” is a must-have addition to your rotation.
Need a pair? The Nike Air DT Max ’96 “Love Letter to Connie” will be available on Wednesday, May 7th, in-store and online at DTLR.com for a retail price of $170.
