Yes they lost the College Football Championship and got utterly smashed by Ohio State. But in terms of kicks, Oregon is still winning, and it’s not even close.
Large donations by Oregon alum and Nike co-founder Phil Knight and mind boggling designs by fellow alum and Jordan Brand designer, Tinker Hatfield, make sure Nike athletes stay freshly dipped in the best custom kicks. If you’re in doubt, look at these 11 #OregonDucks edition Jordans worth going broke for, and resist the temptation to drain your account.

Jordan V Oregon Ducks Player Edition (Black)
Sweet Jesus. Good luck finding a pair of these that don’t cost as much or more than a good Macbook Pro.
Jordan III Oregon Pit Crew (Away)
According to ESPN, there are only 500 pairs of these in existence. A quick trip to eBay will confirm that these kicks especially designed for Oregon’s student section at home games are going for four figures.
Jordan III Oregon Pit Crew (Home)
You can’t have a pair of Jordan III’s without the alternate home colors. These are rumored to be Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota’s favorite player edition kicks.
Jordan IV “Jumpduck” (White)
The first time most of us saw the almost universally recognized Jumpman icon flipped into a duck was on the Jordan IV Oregon Ducks sneaker. If you’ve ever hated Marky Mark, these gave you a justified reason to do so.
Jordan IV Retro (Oregon Ducks)
These are arguably the Jordan’s that set everything off. The metallic, green apple trim (that just happens to match the Oregon football helmet) is quite the detail.
Jordan V Oregon Ducks Promo Sample (Apple Green)
These have been spotted on eBay for upwards of three bands…they’ve also been spotted on Johnny Manziel’s feet because he has a great Jordan Brand connect.
Jordan IX Retro Oregon Ducks (Black)
(Almost) All black everything, because sometimes less is more.
Air Jordan XI Oregon PE (Low)
These aren’t for everyone, but they’re incredibly rare. They popped up on Reddit in November of 2013, and questions still linger.
Jumpman23 XX Oregon Duck
These have been sported by the likes of Boston Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino and DJ Clark Kent. That duck icon on the back makes all the difference.
Jordan MeloM10 Oregon Ducks
Consider these just reckless stunting. They’re not necessary, and Melo went to Syracuse not Oregon. But Nike and Oregon do this kind of stuff because they can, and some poor sap will lose an organ buying these off eBay.
Jordan X Oregon Ducks
Fabolous kind of broke the Internet when he stunted on everyone with these…very rare, very based.
