Just when you thought Nike’s Air Max Day lineup was fully set, another significant pair joins the fray. The Beaverton brand plans to release an Air Max 1 “University Of Oregon” in collaboration with Division Street exclusively through GOAT on March 26th AT 12PM ET for $220.
Division Street, founded by Phil Knight and other Oregon supporters, was created to help Oregon student athletes build their own personal brands while making the most of their name, image and likeness marketing opportunities. As a collaborator, the organization produces limited-edition sneakers geared towards raising money for the school’s athletes and overall mission.
While many “Oregon” Nikes embrace vibrant green and yellow to reflect the school’s eccentric palette, this design goes in a different direction with a brown/grey/yellow mix. Patterned treatments towards the eyestay reflect the natural look of the Duck’s namesake mascot, while yellow laces and heel “Once A Duck, Always A Duck” stitch creates ties with the yellow “Ugly Duckling” Air Max 1 colorway.
Additionally, the shoes come with an added Oregon Ducks hangtag in green/yellow and special limited-edition packaging. The QR code on the box leads to the Ducks Of A Feather website, a Division Street sub-label that produces apparel and accessories by Oregon student athletes.
Enjoy detailed images below and hit the GOAT app on March 26th to take your shot at securing a pair. In related news, check out upcoming Air Max Dn offerings slated for March 26th.
