Oregon Ducks NIL Collective Set to Release Special Nike Air Max Sneakers

Last Updated on March 12, 2025

University of Oregon-based collective Division Street and its clothing brand, Ducks of a Feather, recently announced their collaboration with GOAT and Flight Club for this year’s Air Max Day, unveiling a first-of-its-kind Nike Air Max 95/97 sneaker.

Inspired by the theme of Nature Reimagined, these exclusive designs merge elements from two iconic Nike silhouettes – the Nike Air Max 95 and the Nike Air Max 97 – creating an unprecedented fusion of classic sneaker heritage and modern innovation. The new hybrid silhouette incorporates the tooling from the Air Max 95 with the upper of the Air Max 97, featuring vibrant reflective and mesh materials in the signature University of Oregon colors.

The Nature Reimagined theme reflects the University of Oregon’s unique blend of technological progress and its breathtaking Pacific Northwest surroundings.

Exclusive Colorways and Release Details

Nike Air Max 95/97 “Lightning” – Showcasing reflective rainbow and silver synthetic materials with green glow-in-the-dark airbags, this colorway will be available via raffle entry starting March 15 and in-store at Flight Club Tokyo on March 21. It will also be released on the GOAT app for the Asia-Pacific region on March 24.
Nike Air Max 95/97 “Thunder” – Featuring a green and gold color shift synthetic upper with yellow glow-in-the-dark airbags, this design will drop on the GOAT app for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region on March 21.
Nike Air Max 95/97 “Storm” – With a gold and green/gold shift synthetic upper, “Storm” will be released in Flight Club locations in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami on March 22, followed by a global drop on the GOAT app on March 26.

As with all Ducks of a Feather initiatives, proceeds from this limited-edition sneaker release will benefit participating University of Oregon college athletes, further supporting their growth and development.

A Sneaker Worth Thousands

The demand for exclusive Division Street x Ducks of a Feather sneakers has skyrocketed, with resale prices reaching astronomical levels. Previous collaborations have seen resale values soar, such as the Division Street x Tinker Hatfield x Air Max 1 “University of Oregon” Ducks of a Feather sneaker, with sizes listed up to an astounding $22,512 on GOAT. This latest release is expected to follow suit, making it not only a collector’s dream but also a high-value investment in the sneaker market.
