In an innovative partnership, Division Street’s Ducks of a Feather (DOAF) brand has collaborated with GOAT and Flight Club to unveil the Nike Dunk Low “What the Duck.” This exclusive release features two dynamic colorways, aptly named “Home” and “Away,” both offered at a price point of $275. These sneakers are a limited edition homage to the University of Oregon’s prestigious athletic legacy, particularly celebrating its impact over the past quarter-century.
The design ethos behind the Nike Dunk Low “What the Duck” meticulously embodies over two decades of the University’s athletic uniform evolution. Utilizing a patchwork design, the sneakers incorporate a medley of vibrant hues and textures that draw inspiration from different eras of sports apparel. Notably, the color schemes—featuring shades of green and yellow, alongside metallic accents—pay tribute to Oregon’s bold and experimental sports fashion. Moreover, reflective elements and distinctive stitching enrich the visual appeal, while a variety of materials cleverly nod to the heritage of Oregon football.
Strategically planned to support the athletes of tomorrow, sales from the Nike Dunk Low “What the Duck” will directly contribute to the University of Oregon’s student-athlete programs. The initial launch is set for October 5, 2024, available at Flight Club locations in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Tokyo. A subsequent release is anticipated on October 11, exclusively through GOAT’s digital platform.
This collaboration not only merges sneaker culture with collegiate sports but also highlights the lasting influence of the University of Oregon on contemporary sports fashion. It is a celebration of the synthesis between athleticism, style, and community engagement, underscoring the University’s enduring impact on modern athletic aesthetics.
With the introduction of the Nike Dunk Low “What the Duck,” the collaboration extends beyond a typical sneaker release; it’s a festivity of both tradition and progress in athletic design. This initiative underscores Division Street’s commitment to enhancing the university’s athletic programs while fostering the future of its student-athletes.
Details for each colorway are as follows:
- Home Edition: Black/Vivid Pink-Volt-Apple Green, Style Code: HV1454-001, set for release on October 5, 2024, at Flight Club, and October 11, 2024, on GOAT.
- Away Edition: White/Metallic Silver-Apple Green-Black, Style Code: HV1454-100, with the same release dates as the Home edition.
Adding to the uniqueness of this launch, GOAT will also offer an exclusive bundle including a book titled “Innovation University,” which explores Nike’s historical ties with the University of Oregon. Priced at $500, this package will be available alongside the October 5 release, with the sneakers also sold separately on October 11 for $275. This initiative provides aficionados and collectors an opportunity to delve deeper into the narrative behind this iconic collaboration.
