Hi Gergane,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The Air DT Proto ’92 was originally developed as a prototype for the Air Diamond Turf line, meant as Deion “Prime Time” Sanders’s signature. The Proto version never reached retail back in the early 1990s, making this 2025 release especially notable among collectors. In the Black/White/Fire Red (also known as the "Braves" colorway) it featured rare early design elements like bold “NIKE” spelling across the midfoot strap (yours is an exception to that design), and a stitched Swoosh on the side panel—distinct from the later retail DT models.

As you noted, the “Braves” edition had an exclusive early drop in Atlanta (under 500 pairs) around MLB All-Star Weekend, with broader availability expected in Fall 2025 via SNKRS and select retailers; the retail price at the time was between $150 and $160.

Not knowing how many pairs were issued with factory flaws, it's a little hard to say definitively how much this would go for at auction but most sneaker experts at the top houses multiply retail prices by 20 for errors and, as you probably know, values at auction can be unpredictable, with results varying depending on how badly two or more people want a particular item.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
