Air Force 1

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.
Thoughtful details bring Kahlana’s vision to life: Team Red accents honor her Washington D.C. alma mater and sorority as well as her late grandmother's lifelong legacy. Latitude and longitude marks on the toe ground the design in “The Yard”—the cultural heartbeat of every HBCU—where connection, culture and pride thrive. Kahlana’s signature on the tongue label seals the design with a personal mark of her love for the community that shaped her journey.
