Hibbett x Nike Yardrunners "FAMU" Activation Recap

Oct 20, 2025

Hibbett and Nike recently headed to Tallahassee to honor the release of the Air Max 95 Yardrunners Pack — and Florida A&M University made sure it was a celebration to remember. This special activation brought together style, culture, and community in true Rattler fashion, highlighting the pride and legacy of HBCUs through Nike’s ongoing Yardrunners initiative.

A Day on the Yard

The FAMU campus came alive as Hibbett and Nike transformed the yard into a hub of music, fashion, and school spirit. Attendees got early access to the exclusive Air Max 95 Yardrunners at a first-look pop-up shop, along with opportunities to grab custom merch and capture the moment at photo ops around the space.

The event kept the energy high with live performances from Luh Tyler, hosted by Melanie Mitchell, Caitlynn Davis, and Mulbe Dillard, plus DJ sets that had the yard jumping all afternoon. And because no FAMU event is complete without some friendly fun, there was even putt-putt on the yard for everyone to enjoy.

Honoring the Yardrunners Legacy

Nike’s Yardrunners program celebrates the influence and impact of HBCU students and alumni — the thinkers, creators, and doers who lead with purpose. The Air Max 95 Yardrunners Pack pays tribute to that legacy, blending Nike’s iconic design heritage with the bold creativity of HBCU culture.

Rooted in Community

From the music and fashion to the campus energy, the FAMU activation embodied what happens when culture meets community. Hibbett and Nike are proud to continue supporting HBCUs and the next generation of leaders shaping what’s next.
