College Sports-Inspired Sneakers

Nike's Air Huarache “Oregon Ducks” Colorway is a Limited Release

— March 3, 2023 — Lifestyle
Nike unveils its latest Air Huarache model inspired by the University of Oregon’s football team's colors -- the shoe is also named Oregon Ducks after the team. The University of Oregon is known as one of the most elite schools to participate in the NCAA programs. Additionally, with the long-term business relationship between Nike‘s headquarters in Beaverton and the University of Oregon’s brand, players, coaches, and staff were behind making this sneaker and colorway happen.

There are only 345 pairs of this iteration produced and this is noted on the interior of the tongues which display each pair’s individual number. The Oregon Ducks’ logo is placed on the tongues in the form of the “O” insignia. The base layers are made in neoprene and are colored white along with the team’s forest and volt green accents dispersed throughout. The laces and the heel cages are colored gray and the neon Nike logo is printed around the toe of the sneaker. These exclusive sneakers are not available to the general public.
