Nike Air Force 1 Low "Virginia Union"

Here's the short version: The Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘VUU Panthers’ will be released on 18 December 2024 for €120 at selected retailers, and then on 21 December at SNKRS. The sneaker was created in collaboration with Dex Robinson, founder of DIALLO. It honours Virginia Union University, Robinson's alma mater, as part of Nike's Yardrunners initiative. As always, more information is available at Grailify.

The look pays homage to VUU's panther mascot and features a black faux pony hair upper that gives the shoe a textured, luxurious finish. A shimmering, iridescent Swoosh edge, pebbled leather on the tongue and heel, and a semi-transparent gum outsole round off the design.

Special details such as red rope laces, metallic dubraes and personalised heel tabs with ‘Dear Union’ and ‘With Love, Dex Rob’ make the shoe something very special. A printed letter in the inlay commemorates the university's 160-year history and makes the model a meaningful collector's item.

The sneaker will be available in selected stores on 18 December 2024 and worldwide via Nike SNKRS on 21 December 2024. It costs €120.

It is available at Nike.com (SNKRS) and at a few selected retailers. For anyone looking for updates on the Yardrunners series, it's worth checking Grailify regularly.
