Let’s be honest, the Air Jordan 8 ‘Oregon Ducks’ PE is an ugly shoe. However, it is so rare and so team specific, that it has a demand that is nearly unmatched. If you ever have a chance to cop a pair and it doesn’t involve criminal activity, you should definitely grab them. Let’s talk sneakers.

This never had a retail release and it never will. Two different shoes carry the name: a 2021 football PE, 100 pairs auctioned on StockX, and two 2022 basketball colorways, 400 pairs auctioned on GOAT. Both allocations funded Oregon athletes through Division Street before most people were saying NIL out loud. The black duck on the 2021 tongue was the first ever made and no other shoe has carried it since.
I’ve always thought this one should have stayed a football cleat. On the gridiron and paired with Oregon’s green unis, this one does real work. Outside of that environment, you’ll look like a rich dude who didn’t have anything better to spend his money on.
