Florida A&M University x Nike Dunk Low "Rattlers" DR6188-800
The Florida A&M University x Nike Dunk Low “Rattlers” DR6188-800 stands out as a distinctive sneaker, skillfully merging FAMU’s unique essence with Nike’s innovative design. This collaboration celebrates the fusion of traditional athletic heritage and modern fashion sensibilities.
Drawing inspiration from FAMU’s iconic colour palette, the design features a white leather base with vibrant orange overlays and a bold green Swoosh, honoring the university’s sports teams. The sneaker also showcases the text ‘COLAC’ (College of Love and Charity) embroidered on the lateral forefoot, capturing the spirit of the university.
The design further personalizes with ‘We Bragg Different’ inscribed on the heel, a tribute to FAMU’s Bragg Memorial Stadium. It pairs with a ‘FAMU’ lace lock and a rattlesnake motif on the tongue tags, celebrating the school’s mascot. Additionally, the sneaker marks FAMU’s founding year, 1887, on the heel tab for historical significance.
FAMU alum Caitlyn Davis created this sneaker for Nike’s HBCU-focused Yardrunners campaign, embodying university pride. The shoe features a translucent outsole with a reptilian image and a comfortable white midsole, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and functionality.
