The Oregon Ducks women's basketball team will be modelling custom-made Lebron Soldier 9s this upcoming season. With the beginning of basketball season, both professionally and collegiate not far away, a flurry of sneaker releases have emerged. This Oregon Ducks-inspired Nike shoe may be the best one so far.
The Nike Lebron Soldier 9s will be outfitted in the Oregon Ducks iconic vibrant green school colors. Hints of yellow in the shoe's sole and tongue will also show off the school's famous yellow from its jerseys. The shoe lends itself nicely to being customized by its rather simple design. The mesh on the front allows the team's branding to shine across the middle.
Not only is the University of Oregon known for their athletic prowess and accomplishments, the team has also reinvented collegiate sportswear which is reflected by this shoe.
