Due to its legacy ties to the sportswear giant, the University of Oregon has a plethora of exclusive Nike sneakers — far more than any other college. And while public releases of the school’s special styles have become more common, there are still plenty of pairs that remain exclusive to Oregon athletes. However, the latest trend in Ducks exclusives has been sneakers that are gifted to players before later receiving retail releases.
The Ducks-exclusive Nike Air Force 1s worn by Oregon football players at the end of last season will make their way to retail this holiday season. The news was shared by trusted leaker Sneaker Files, which states that both the school’s “Orchard Premium” style in Apple Green/Apple Green (style code JF5453-300) and the Black/Black “Stealth Premium” (style code JF5453-001) colorways will be released later this year.
