Nike made this Air Max 1 '87 Premium for the University of Oregon, working with the Ducks of a Feather group on Division Street; proceeds support Oregon's student-athletes. Perforated overlays in light brown leather sit over a suede mudguard, with leopard print panels worked into the build and iridescent detailing along the collar. "Once A Duck" and "Always A Duck" run across the two heels, while a chocolate brown suede tongue tag carries embroidered Nike and Ducks of a Feather branding.
A dark blue sockliner marked DOAF recreates a rippled water pattern underfoot, and a white polyurethane midsole houses the visible heel Air unit above a two-tone rubber outsole. Nike released the pair on March 26, 2024, Air Max Day, at a retail price of $220, priced above the model's standard colorways because of the leather build and embroidery. The hemp, university gold, sail and desert dust palette leans warm and collegiate rather than following a standard retail colorway.
