This is my personal collection. I’d love to see everyone else’s. I know some people have insane sneakers. Especially those PE’s!

Here’s a look at my collection from earlier this year, I’ve added a few more since this was taken.

Wow!!! The Holy Grail!! You definitely have some sort of connection, right? There’s only one guy on the internet that I’ve seen who has a collection as good or maybe better than yours and it’s this guy:

Thanks! There’s a closet behind me full of GR Oregon Nike’s as well. The tall stack on the left is 13 containers floor to ceiling.

I’ve been chasing and collecting Oregon Ducks sneakers for well over a decade, my first PEs were the AF25 green woven pair but I had some IDs and GRs already. University surplus sales, online resale platforms, thrift shops in PDX, Beaverton, and Eugene as well as networking on social media is where I’ve sourced most of my collection over the years (disclaimer: I am currently employed by Nike).

Collectors like @ordananceslp @quacksonquacks and @sneaker_galactus who were early prolific Oregon PE collectors, really inspired me and I’ve built a collection that reflects my passion for the Ducks.

Oregon Grail and Perfect Pair both have far more Oregon PE Jordans than I do, but I might have them in the number of individual pairs of Oregon kicks. I’m closing in on 200 style code/sku/bom with a handful of pairs I’ve doubled and tripled up on. I also have some pairs that are much rarer than the team issued Jordans (a pair made for Equipment Manager Kenny Farr with his kids names on the inside of the tongue for example). I really enjoy hunting down variants and odd ball pairs.

Living in Washington, I love nothing more than wearing this as often as possible, paired with a ducks shirt.

Anyone else remember the oregonauthentic site from like 2012ish when you could get these without a mortgage payment

u/StuffedDoughboy 1d ago

The best part was they came with a COA from the equipment staff, I have a few pairs I picked up from that site.

Had them custom made in Vietnam. This wasn't the plan but when I saw the matte green and shiny gold leather, all my plans went straight out the window.

Where in Vietnam?!? And how? I go back to Vietnam once a year.

Hoi An, a town known for their custom tailor shops and custom shoe shops. I had my wedding suit and shoes made there. I've been back several times and have favorite spots.

This place made my shoes.

Those are sick

u/Elephlump 1d ago

Hey thanks! I've always wanted some fancy Nike duck shoes but the price tag has always been too high. So I had these custom made to fit perfectly all for $70 which I'm happy with because they feel like they'll hold up for a decade

Might not be as flashy as some of the new designs but I get a shit eating grin every time I wear them

Those must have cost a pretty penny

u/Anonymousduck65 1d ago

They did, one of my good friends from UO’s dad happened to be one of the higher ups at the Beaverton Nike HQ. So got them discounted but not cheap.

Not officially Duck shoes but I like to order custom Converse in Duck colors from their website.

Those 4s and 5s are my all time favorite J’s and even more so in school colors.

u/RaineFilms 1d ago

I’d love to own a pair of those!
