The collegiate sports landscape has witnessed a tectonic shift with the introduction of Name, Image, and Likeness rights. Amidst these winds of change stands Division Street, a collective created by University of Oregon alumni. Their mission? To empower the next generation of student-athletes in this evolving environment. In recent years, their innovative "Ducks of a Feather" program has been at the forefront of this mission, offering unique revenue streams to Eugene-based athletes by releasing limited-edition, Duck-themed footwear.
The latest gem to emerge from this initiative is a pristine white Air Force 1 Low. This new release follows closely with an Air Jordan 14 PE and a highly sought-after Dunk Low unveiled earlier in Spring. Crafted under the keen eye of designer Bruce Kilgore, this Air Force 1 iteration takes exclusivity up a notch, with only 1,000 pairs set to grace the market.
The sneaker exudes elegance with its almost monochromatic white theme, broken only by subtle metallic chrome touches on the eyelets and a muted “Sail” hue on the midsole. However, what makes it truly stand out are the nods to the University's rich football legacy.
Glimpses of this heritage can be seen in the grass-inspired suede patches on the profile Swooshes, and the upper tongue, all the way to the heel counter showcasing the iconic letter "O." While a contrasting grey tread juxtaposes its gleaming white demeanor, it's the details that underscore its exclusivity. The cork insoles, debossed hang tags, and dubraes adorn the "Ducks of a Feather" insignia, emphasizing its unique lineage.
For those eager to get their hands on this piece of sneaker history, Division Street has announced an exclusive release on the GOAT app on October 20.
Priced at $175, this limited-edition Nike Air Force 1 Low "Ducks of a Feather" will be limited, with only 1,000 pairs up for grabs.
