Nike Air Max 1 ’87 Luxe ‘University Of Oregon’ PE HQ2640-200

Description

A new chapter in collegiate footwear history is here. Division St., a student-athlete empowerment organization with University of Oregon roots, returns with a fresh take on the legendary Nike Air Max 1.

The Division St. x Nike Air Max 1 ’87 features a premium build with a twist. The shoe showcases buttery Horween leather and perforated leather for breathability. Built for comfort, the eye-catching animal print steals the show. A stunning iridescent green collar adds a touch of grandeur, reminiscent of a majestic Northern Shoveler duck.

Ducks are a recurring theme. The tongue tag proudly displays the “DOAF” (Ducks of a Feather) motto, a symbol of a new era for student-athletes. The heel features a heartwarming sentiment: “Once a Duck, always a Duck,” reminding everyone of the university’s connections.

A classic white midsole and a tan outsole complete the design, staying true to tradition while referencing the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty.

In 1987, the Air Max 1 changed the world of footwear forever. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the icon made the invisible visible, with the arrival of visible Air Max cushioning.

Air Max Vs AF: 3 key differences in the Nike sneakers

1) Design

The most noticeable difference between Air Max and Air Force is the design of the shoes. Both sneakers are known for their unique and eye-catching designs. However, Air Max shoes feature a visible air unit in the sole, which gives them a distinct, futuristic look.

Air Force , on the other hand, have a more classic design with a smooth, solid sole.

2) Comfort

Both Air Max and Air Force are designed with comfort in mind, but they use different technologies to achieve this. Air Max shoes have a more cushioned sole with a larger air unit, which provides a bouncier and more responsive feel. Air Force shoes have a more traditional sole with less cushioning, which provides a firmer and more stable feel.

3) Functionality

While both Air Max and Air Force are popular for casual wear, they have different intended purposes. Air Max shoes are designed more for running and athletic activities, while Air Force shoes are designed more for basketball and other court sports.

Air Max are typically lighter and more flexible, while Air Force are more durable and supportive.
