Nike’s love for the University of Oregon knows no bounds, and their latest ode to the college and its football team coming in the form of the Nike Free Trainer 5.0 “Fighting Ducks.” Expectedly, Oregon green is the driving force, holding down the forefoot, with black bringing up the rear and interweaving along the mid-foot. Continuing the theme, the Duck mascot is present on the tongue, with “Fighting Ducks” featured on the pull tabs. Not to be left out, yellow completes the silhouette via the Free technology outsole. A Nike.com release is slated for the November 30 in honor of the annual Civil War game, so stay tuned to Nice Kicks for all future details and release updates.
