With the introduction of Name, Image and Likeness within collegiate sports came the founding of Division Street, a collective of University of Oregon alumni aiming to empower student-athletes amidst the NCAA’s changing landscape. Throughout the past few years, the organization’s Ducks of a Feather program has provided further revenue opportunities to athletes in Eugene by releasing exclusive Duck-themed footwear to the public, the latest of which arrives in the form of a crisp white Air Force 1 Low later this week.
Coming off the heels of an Air Jordan 14 PE and this past Spring’s Dunk Low, the Bruce Kilgore design opts for a familiar exclusivity by releasing just 1,000 pairs. Boasting a near triple-white treatment across the smooth leather upper overlays, metallic chrome accents shine across the eyelets while the midsole opts for a subtle “Sail” compliment. Inspired by elements of the University’s football program, grassy suede patches dress the profile swooshes, the upper tongue and letter “O” adorned heel counter. Contrasting the bright white ambiguity through a clad grey tread, a litany of Ducks of a Feather branding touches down across the cork insoles, debossed hang tags and dubraes.
According to Division Street, the special edition Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ducks of a Feather” will be released exclusively via the GOAT app for a retail price of $175 on October 20th; just 1,000 pairs will be released.
In other news, the adidas Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to release next week.
