Nike, Class Trip and the University of Oregon are coming together to unveil the Grateful Ducks collection: a vibrant fusion of sport, music and counterculture that pays tribute to the enduring bond between the Grateful Dead and its home away from home. Inspired by the nights when Mac Court echoed with both roaring crowds and free-flowing jams, this limited run Nike x University of Oregon basketball honors the unlikely crossover of Ducks hoops and Dead-era Eugene. Built for the court but worthy of the shelf, it’s a tribute to basketball, music, and the moments where culture collides. The new collaboration honors nearly 60 years of connection between the iconic band, whose genre-defying sound and psychedelia redefined American music, and Eugene, the birthplace of Nike and home to the University of Oregon. Get it while it lasts. Built for the hardwood. Inspired by legendary Grateful Dead performances at Mac Court. This premium pebbled leather basketball features exclusive Grateful Ducks iconography, merging the heritage of Oregon hoops with the unmistakable spirit of the Dead. Limited Release.
