LeBron James rocks Deion Sanders-inspired sneakers at the 20th NBA All-Star Game

Colorado coach Deion Sanders expressed his elation as NBA star LeBron James sported sneakers inspired by his signature Nike series from the 90s during his 20th NBA All-Star game.

Sanders, who has a net worth of $50 million, congratulated James on his remarkable career milestone and thanked him for showcasing the "Primes" on the court.

"Congratulations to my brother @kingjames for his Class, Grace, Passion, Commitment to excellence & consistency for 21 years!! Thank u as well for Rocking them 'Primes' on your stage. Love ya man from Day 1. I need that basketball version," Sanders wrote in the caption.

James' sneakers drew inspiration from the claw mark striping of the Air DT Max '96, also known as the Diamond Turf 3, featuring a white and black color scheme with gold accents matching the Colorado Buffaloes' colors.

Nike has periodically revived Sanders' signature series, adapting them for various purposes, with James' sneakers marking the first application of the concept to basketball shoes under the Nike LeBron 21 line.

While James' shoe series debuted in September of the previous year, it has since undergone numerous color combinations.

Despite the recent release of Coach Prime's third signature shoe, complete with his logo, it remains uncertain whether LeBron James' limited edition Sanders-inspired sneakers will be available for purchase.
