Nike’s Yardrunners initiative continues spotlighting Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This year, the program partners with Virginia Union University (VUU) alumni and fashion entrepreneur Dex Robinson for a unique rendition of the Air Force 1.

Known for his DIALLO label and his work with athletes like Jalen Hurts and Tyrod Taylor, Robinson infuses his signature style into this joint effort.

About the Dex Robinson x Nike Air Force 1 Low “VUU Panthers”

Clad in luxurious black faux pony hair, the shoe pays homage to VUU’s panther mascot, exuding a bold and textured aesthetic. An iridescent border adorns the Swoosh, adding a touch of opulence and a mesmerizing shimmer.

Pebbled leather accents provide depth and contrast, while the semi-translucent gum sole offers a subtle, stylish foundation. Robinson incorporates red and black rope laces and custom metal dubraes to further honor VUU’s 160th anniversary.

Release Details

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “VUU Panthers” is expected to be released in November 2024 for US$130. However, it will only be available in Virginia.
