Sons of NFL Legend Deion Sanders, who are noted for their exemplary talent in their field, are giving the world of modeling a shot.

The young sports icons, Shilo (23) and Shedeur (21), made an unexpected appearance on the runway for Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. The Colorado Buffaloes football stars made their runway debuts at Paris Fashion Week wearing similar camouflage outfits, according to US Magazine.

Shilo wore a green and orange camouflage puffer coat, a matching flannel shirt, and brown trousers, and carried a light brown leather duffel bag. Shedeur mirrored his brother’s look, sporting a green long-sleeve shirt, orange vest, matching camouflage trousers, and a crossbody bag.

The fashion show showcased Louis Vuitton’s men’s fall/winter 2024 collection, which was Pharrell Williams’ third show since he was named men’s creative director.

The collection, themed around Americana, incorporated elements such as camouflage, cowboy hats, lassos, and blankets collaboratively crafted with Native American artists from the Dakota and Lakota nations.

Celebrity attendees included Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Lil Yachty, and Karlie Kloss, adding star power to the showcase of the fashion brand’s latest collection.

Amidst the event’s excitement, the two brothers took the opportunity to connect with the designer, Williams.

“We want to be multi-dimensional. We don’t want to be just football,” Shilo was overheard telling Williams, 50, in a YouTube video uploaded by Well Off Media.

Williams responded by noting that they already are. “If I were you, I would change that language. I am multi-dimensional.”

Their father, Sanders, had a notable sports career, playing 14 seasons in the NFL and nine seasons in Major League Baseball before transitioning to coaching. Sanders is currently the head football coach at the University of Colorado Boulder, coaching his sons Shilo and Shedeur, both football players for the Colorado Buffaloes.

Sanders shares Shilo and Shedeur with his ex-wife, Pilar Sanders, and they also have a daughter named Shelmoni Sanders, aged 20.

Apart from them, Sanders is a father to daughter Deiondra Sanders (31) and son Deion Sanders Jr. (30), from his previous marriage to Carolyn Chambers.
