The Oregon Ducks have most definitely kicked their presence on the sneaker scene up quite a few notches in 2013. Aside from already have quite an impressive catalog of Air Jordan PE’s made in their likeness, the Ducks have thus claimed their fair share of Nike Trainers as well. So far, the Air Diamond Turf, Air Max 360 Diamond Griff and CJ81 Trainer Max have been outfitted with the teams infamous color scheme. Joining the growing list is this pair of Nike Air Missions. While the Air Mission retro isn’t scheduled to return to the retail world until sometime in 2014, that hasn’t stopped the folks over at Nike from outfitting the forthcoming retro with some UO love. In pulling inspiration from the teams dope jerseys, all of you sneakerheads will notice the Duck wing pattern that flows throughout the shoes build. Just in case that isn’t enough, the shoes muse is put on full display thanks largely in part to Oregon O logo about the tongue and the set of duck feet near the rear of the shoe. Regardless of whether you are a huge fan or foe of the Oregon Ducks, you can’t deny the massive impact they have had on the sneaker world. And now that they have branched out, we are certain that their will indeed be a hell of a whole lot more UO-inspired kicks in the works. No shoe is safe.
