A bespoke pair of Nike Air Force 1 Lows have hit the market with the help of Dex Robinson. Robinson is honoring his alma mater Virginia Union University (VUU) with a pair of classic Nike low-tops inspired by the school’s rich heritage and its Panther mascot. The panther mascot is the inspiration behind the shaggy black upper constructed out of hair-on leather as a nod to the school’s strength and spirit. The Swoosh is outlined in steel and deep red accents hit the laces to add to the school spirit-inspired details. The heel tabs features text like “Dear Union” and “With Love, Dex Rob” as a symbol of Robinson’s heartfelt letter to his alma mater. The insoles feature a printed letter from Robinson himself set against a silhouette of the school’s campus sign, celebrating Panther pride. The “Virginia Union” pair further symbolizes HBCU excellence and Robinson’s legacy with VUU.
