NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Norfolk State University (NSU) is one of four Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that will receive a unique Nike Air Max 95 sneaker in 2025.
The green and gold shoes are part of Nike’s Yardrunner series, which began in 2020 to commemorate HBCUs. Morehouse College, Spelman College and Florida A&M University are also represented in 2025’s collection. NSU graduate Kelo Bonds thinks Nike shining a spotlight on the university with these new kicks is a big deal.
“I got a great feeling about Nike coming to the area and just showing love to seven, five, seven,” said Bonds. “I think this is a big opportunity for us to honor one of our great universities, bring together some community and really shine a light on what we have to offer here in the seven five,”
The shoes will release on Oct.11, costing $190 dollars…
