You can buy Deion Sandersâ Prime 21 sunglasses; Hereâs where to get them
Deion Sanders is moving a lot of shades these days, and you can get them at Blenders.
In the wake of Jay Norvell throwing shade at Coach Prime for wearing sunglasses during interviews, Sanders responded by handing out some of his signature sunglasses.
Sanders passed out pairs of Prime 21 sunglasses to his players during a team meeting — “I just want to see how y’all look in ‘em. You look good!” — and then gave some to the hosts of ESPN’s “First Take” and “The Pat McAfee Show” to wear on set Friday.
He told “College GameDay” he’s moved more than a million pairs since Norvell’s comments. Norvell took a swipe at Sanders’ habit of wearing his cap and sunglasses during media interviews.
“I sat down with ESPN today. And I don’t care if they hear it in Boulder. I told them, ‘I took my hat off, and I took my glasses off.’ And I said, ‘When I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.’ That’s what my mother taught me,” Norvell said. “They’re not going to like us, no matter what we say or do. It doesn’t matter. So, let’s go up there and play.”
Yet, the fans have responded, buy up the sunglasses.
Here’s how to get the Prime 21 sunglasses:
Blenders offers the glasses for $67 in both black and gold.
According to the site, “It’s COACH PRIME’s inaugural season as Colorado’s head man — and “You Gotta Believe” we’re ready! An exclusive collaboration with Deion Sanders, ‘PRIME 21’ scores with a bold monochromatic look that, like PRIME himself, “AINT HARD 2 FIND.” The shades show out with a crystal gold/black frame and a gold/black mirrored PureBlend Lens for superior scratch resistance and clarity. Metallic ‘PRIME’ and ‘WE COMING’ temple badging rounds out this salute to a sports icon.”
Due to the high demand, delivery will be delayed.
