Nike has announced its 6th Yardrunners collection, recognizing four different Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) this homecoming season. Florida A&M University, Spelman College , Morehouse College, & Norfolk State University all served as the source of inspiration for this year’s spirited Air Max 95s. The initiative, established in 2020, is described as an example of Nike’s commitment to Black institutions through purpose-driven product, storytelling, recruitment, and investments.
