Kahlana Barfield Brown pens a heartfelt tribute to HBCUs with her signature Air Force 1 "Yardrunners." The rich, deep brown colorway celebrates the beauty of melanin and the generations of Black excellence that connect students to their roots. Vintage cream leather pays homage to the storied legacy of HBCUs established in 1837, while the brick-patterned sockliner reflects the timeless foundations of campus buildings that stand as symbols of resilience.
