The University of Oregon Men's Basketball Team Receives Air Jordan 9 PE in Time for March Madness

The 2025 March Madness tournament is officially underway, which means collegiate programs sponsored by Nike, Inc. have recently received special gifts to commemorate the occasion. Case in point?: The University of Oregon's Men's Basketball Team has just unveiled a Player-Exclusive edition of the Air Jordan 9.

Teased by the school's football team ahead of a matchup against its Washington Huskies rivals last November, the Oregon Ducks' official Instagram account shared a video of the Men's Basketball squad opening up its latest gift from Jordan Brand last night. Accompanied by a caption reading "Stepping into postseason in style," the pair features the university's iconic green-and-yellow color scheme. Team-specific nods also arrive across Tinker Hatfield's iconic design from 1993.

The gift arrives as the ninth Air Jordan silhouette celebrates its 32nd anniversary. A recent retro of the 'Cool Grey' style from 2002 quickly sold out despite initial anticipation that the pair would sit.

Patent leather appears on the Ducks' PE, delivering a shimmering look fit for college basketball's biggest stage. Oregon Ducks text comes together across both tongue labels, cementing yet another addition in the expansive catalog of special gifts from the Swoosh empire for Phil Knight's alma mater.
