Jimmy Fallon welcomed Philidelphia Eagles players Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley to an episode of “The Tonight Show” while paying homage to Kendrick Lamar‘s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performance look in a video posted to Instagram yesterday.
The short reel was accompanied by the caption “Jimmy has his @kendricklamar Super Bowl jeans on with @jalenhurts & @saquon! #FallonTonight.” Fallon danced alongside Hurts and Barkley in Nike Air DT Max ’96 in the black and white “Colorado Away” colorway, the same sneakers Lamar wore during his Feb. 9 performance.

The high-top silhouette features white leather uppers equipped with graphic black tiger-esque striping. White laces transition into rubber soles, rounded toes and contrasting gold Nike accents. The Nike silhouette can be shopped via Nike’s website and retails for $170. If white and black aren’t your thing, the Nike Air DT Max ’96 also comes in a slew of other unique colorways.
Those seeking out the sneaker better act fast. The style’s popularity has risen thanks to Lamar, meaning the Nike silhouette is getting harder to purchase. In fact, according to online apparel reselling platform StockX, resales of Nike Air DT Max ’96 sneakers shot up 413% following the highly-anticipated performance after Kendrick wore the shoes onstage accompanied by flared Celine jeans. Lamar’s performance featured cameos from Samuel Jackson, Serena Williams, SZA and Mustard.
The Air DT Max 96, short for “Diamond Turf,” launched in the year that gave it its name and in the year which Deion Sanders won his second Super Bowl in a row by moving to the Dallas Cowboys. The Air DT Max 96 was brought back multiple times including in 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2018.
The episode featuring the Super Bowl champs aired yesterday via NBC. Both football players spoke about their massive Super Bowl win against the Kansas City Chiefs and Hurts used a photo from his Super Bowl LVII loss as motivation before shotgunning beers with the Eagles’ starting offensive line.
