DTLR, a well-known sneaker retailer from Maryland, has teamed up once again with New Balance to release a special edition sneaker — the New Balance 1000 “Yards.” This collaboration continues DTLR’s ongoing effort to honor and support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the United States.
The sneaker’s name, “Yards,” comes from the term “Yardrunners,” a nickname for inspiring people who have made an impact on HBCU campuses. The design is a heartfelt tribute to students and alumni from all 107 HBCUs in the U.S., celebrating their achievements, culture, and community spirit.
The DTLR x New Balance 1000 “Yards” features a bold varsity-inspired design. It combines dark green, black, white, and metallic gold tones — colors often associated with school pride and team energy. Crafted with a mix of leather overlays and mesh panels, the sneaker offers both durability and comfort. Cream contrast stitching and gold “1000” embroidery add a touch of elegance, while a bright red New Balance logo pops against the dark green gradient on the tongue and heel, giving it a standout finish.
This limited-edition pair not only looks premium but also carries a deeper meaning — a salute to education, culture, and legacy within HBCU communities.
