In collaboration with Division Street, Nike whipped up an Air Max 1 “University of Oregon” PE to further encapsulate the spirit of Air Max Day. A portion of the proceeds will be used to support the student-athletes of the University of Oregon.
Shelves both on and offline are currently flooded with new and old Air Max colorways and variations, but who’s to complain, when the iconic silhouette just does it. This current rendition gives off a slightly similar makeup to, the Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 “Safari,” originally released in 2002, which opted for a Mandarin duck palette.
Following the hues of a Mallard Drake, the upper shoe is constructed with earthy tones like that of duck feathers shaped in various materials from suede to perforated leather and canvas. To give it a more playful feel, animal patterns are stitched above the toe box, around the lace eyelets and capping off the heel. The main and mini Swooshes are done up in sleek Navy complementing the iridescent olive green details. Completing the design are the words “Once a duck, always a duck” embroidered on the mid-heel. A pair comes with three laces in off-white, green, and yellow neatly packaged in a neon green box.
The Nike Air Max 1 “University of Oregon” PE is exclusively available on GOAT.
