Nike Pays Homage to Deion Sanders' Untouchable ‘Double Play' Feat
Nike Pays Homage to Deion Sanders' Untouchable 'Double Play' Feat originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Deion Sanders remains a 'one-of-one' talent. Whether it was his electric punt returns, field carving interceptions and receptions, or his ability to be a pro in two leagues, there may never be another 'Prime Time'. Advertisement Nike is planning to roll out a special colorway for a shoe to commemorate an incredible achievement. The Nike Air DT Proto 92 'Braves' aims to celebrate the 'Deion Double Play.' It's a term that refers to October 11, 1992 when Sanders suited up for two different teams. He played for the Atlanta Falcons in the afternoon and then flew to Pittsburgh to join the Atlanta Braves for a National League Championship Series game. Prior to the release of the Nike Air Proto 92 'White Black', the concept shoe had never previously been released to the public. The allure should be in the name. This is a prototype that got shelved in favor of the 'no swoosh on the side panel' version fans have become very familiar with. The Proto 92 maintains most of what fans have come to expect from the Diamond Turf line, while adding back in, the design features that were discarded prior to its wide release. The Proto 92, even more so than the more well-known Diamond Turf 1, is a throwback to Nike's renaissance. The white logos, red sock liner, on a mostly black nubuck material with Deion's signature gold, this model harkens back to the 1990-1994 design tendencies that made Nike the 'King of the Hill' they still are. Advertisement The Proto 92 'Braves' utilizes a mostly black colorway which does absolutely track with the Falcons. Some jersey purists might counter that the Braves colors don't include black. While that is true, Sanders and many players in 1992 often wore black/red/white cleats with their navy, red, white uniforms as leagues had not yet green lit shoes and cleats for team specific colors. Most major sports leagues in 1992 still adhered to mostly black or mostly white. Also, from a practical standpoint, navy next to black is a poor design choice as those colors bleed into each other. In turn, Nike and Sanders have opted to keep to the blk/red/wht colorway worn by Braves at the time. View the 6 images of this gallery on the original article Advertisement The release date information is still vague. Nike has not officially announced a release date, but a shock drop is now being widely reported. The event predates the official release date and typically has a specific reason for happening. In the case of the Proto 92 'Braves,' Nike plans a shock drop for the Atlanta area to coincide with Major League Baseball's All-Star break. Suggesting fans in the Atlanta area could secure their pair somewhere between July 12-15. The pre-release will be limited to 1,000 pairs. While details of the shock drop are still unclear, the last regional shock drop related to a Deion Sanders shoe did take place at Lenox Square. If previous drops are an indicator.

This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 29, 2025, where it first appeared.

A 27-year-old man told his girlfriend he doesn't want to pay her rent if she doesn't have a job His girlfriend quit her job with no warning, notice or plan People on the internet agreed with him setting a boundaryA man found himself in a standoff with his girlfriend after she "quit her job over a vibe." The 27-year-old man took to Reddit to ask if he handled the situation correctly, explaining that he has been with his 26-year-old girlfriend for two years, and they moved in together six months ago. However, three weeks ago, his girlfriend quit her job with no warning, notice, or plan for the future. 'She said her manager 'gave her weird energy' and she was tired of being around people who didn't 'see her full self,'" the poster explains. "I asked what her plan was, and she said she was going to 'take time to realign.' " While things were fine at first, "now rent is due, and she says she can't cover her half." She asked the poster if he could just "take care of it" and that she would "make it up to [him] spiritually." 'I laughed,' the man shares. 'I genuinely thought she was joking. She wasn't.' The man told his girlfriend that he would cover her rent this month, but he's 'not her bank.' 'She flipped out and said I'm 'capitalist-minded' and lack emotional support,' the man shares. 'Now she's pouting around the apartment calling me transactional.'

Although the man was unsure if he was in the wrong, the commenters were squarely on his side, calling out the hypocrisy of his girlfriend labeling him "transactional" while simultaneously expecting him to support her financially. 'Her vibe is definitely being a leech who takes advantage of people which will definitely darken her 'aura.' Not good vibes at all," one commenter wrote. 'Explain to her that's how things work. You pay rent and you can continue living there," another added. "Tell her that she will have to pay her half of the rent and other bills. If she doesn't have the money, she can borrow from the spirits.' Read the original article on People

Groomsman Missed Save the Date Being Shared in Facebook Message and Booked a Vacation. Now He's Wants to Skip the Nuptials
A 21-year-old man says that his cousin asked him to be a groomsman in his wedding — but a later wedding invite with a wedding date was sent over Facebook, so he didn't see it The man says that he had already booked a vacation during the wedding, and now he 'can't afford' to change the flights The man shared his story on Reddit and asked his fellow Redditors if missing the wedding would be a faux pas given the circumstancesA man says he may need to miss a family wedding due to a scheduling conflict, but he's not sure he's the one at fault. The 21-year-old detailed his story on the popular Reddit forum 'Am I the A------?,' a place where Reddit users can go to seek advice about interpersonal dilemmas. In the post, the Redditor explained that he was asked to be a groomsman in his cousin's wedding 'months ago,' but did not subsequently receive an invitation or information on a wedding time. The man then booked a vacation, only to find out 'weeks later' that it overlapped with the wedding. The original poster (OP) went on to explain that it turned out he had, in fact, received a wedding invitation with the date — but that it was sent via Facebook and he never saw it. 'I don't use Facebook, so I must've cleared the notifications weeks or even months ago without realizing,' he said. The OP said that he can't afford to change his flights for the vacation, but he also feels 'soooo bad' for missing the wedding, especially because he is supposed to be in the wedding party. 'I personally am not that desperate to go [to the wedding], as I don't see my family often anyway,' he continued, adding, 'But it is giving me so much anxiety, and saying no feels like I am committing a great evil.' 'Would I be [the a------] for declining?' he asked at the end of his post. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. A number of post commenters said that they did not think the OP was at fault given that he never received a formal invitation. 'NTA [not the a------],' one person said. 'If you were invited to be in the wedding party, you should have been provided dates, details, and a proper, formal invitation to the ceremony like everyone else. A Facebook invite? Please. Go on your holiday, enjoy it, and don't look back.' 'NTA,' added someone else. 'If your cousin is too cheap to mail a proper save-the-date and invitation, you shouldn't feel bad for not having it at the forefront of your mind. This was a communication breakdown on their part. Enjoy your vacation!' Another person, however, thought that the OP should have done his due diligence and asked his cousin for a ballpark wedding date before booking a trip. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'You never bothered to ask about when the wedding might be before booking the trip? Seems you subconsciously decided not to go even before booking the trip. However, only receiving a FB invite for a wedding is odd,' the person said. Another person thought everyone was at fault in the situation. 'ESH [everyone sucks here],' the person wrote. 'I find it hard to believe that they only told you the date via Facebook, but if so, that's on them. But you apparently agreed to be a groomsman and had so little interest that you never asked for any details before booking a conflicting holiday.' Read the original article on People
