Division Street's Ducks of a Feather dropped two of the most texture-rich Air Max 95s of the year just in time for Air Max Day, debuting "The Woods" and "Lumber Yard" colorways at $250 a pair at Flight Club locations in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami on March 21, before hitting GOAT on March 26.

The DOAF program from Division Street has once again teamed up with Flight Club and GOAT, this time producing two colorways of the Air Max 95 to coincide with Air Max Day, each celebrating the scenic Pacific Northwest. The release marks a meaningful milestone: with its first-ever take on the Nike Air Max 95, DOAF pays tribute to one of the most essential parts of Oregon basketball, the court at Matthew Knight Arena. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the arena's "Deep in the Woods" court pays tribute to the "Tall Firs," the 1938-39 Oregon Ducks team that claimed the first-ever NCAA basketball championship.

The floor's design references silhouettes of Pacific Northwest tree lines, giving the impression of being lost in the forest, earning it the moniker "Deep in the Woods." That court becomes the conceptual anchor for both pairs, translated from hardwood to suede through two very different material vocabularies.

"The Woods" is the greener, wilder of the two. The Air Max 95 BB DOAF Oregon "The Woods" PE embodies the lush Pacific Northwest landscape, dressed in fir, electric green, and tomatillo tones, with a hairy suede upper paired with moss-textured textile overlays that mimic the density of the forest floor. Fuzzy laces secure the suede tongue, displaying dual branding, while both the sockliner and outsole spine continue the concept with printed graphics underfoot. The Woods is cued by the forests that cover 47 percent of the state, and the shoe wears that statistic literally: every panel of shaggy green suede pulls the eye deeper into the canopy.

"Lumber Yard" works the opposite register. "The Air Max 95 BB DOAF Oregon 'Lumber Yard' PE honors the Pacific Northwest's timber heritage, rendered in desert sand, baroque brown and mink brown with hemp accents, with the design characterized by wood suede overlays and heavy grain-embossed suede throughout the upper. Rope laces add a rugged, utilitarian aesthetic, while a wood-grain graphic covers the sockliner, paired with a forest motif on the outsole. The effect is closer to workwear than sportswear: a sneaker that looks like it belongs in a sawmill as much as a collector's rotation. Both colorways carry DOAF and Nike co-branding on the tongue tag, with "Feather" placed on the lace aglets and split logos for Oregon and DOAF on the insole. The Lumber Yard pair burns the logo into a wooden graphic print, while The Woods colorway features a Realtree camo-esque graphic.

Final details include an added DOAF square hangtag, tonal midsoles with "big bubble" Air units, and an outsole featuring graphics corresponding to each colorway in the heel.

The drop is exclusive by design. Because these are not seeing a standard Nike SNKRS or wide boutique release, the extremely limited stock is locked entirely to GOAT and Flight Club. The NIL dimension adds another layer of intent to the purchase: like all initiatives from Division Street's Ducks of a Feather brand, proceeds generated from the Nike Air Max 95 BB will benefit participating University of Oregon student-athletes. Division Street was started by notable University of Oregon alumni and donors, most notably Nike founder Phil Knight, as an in-house NIL collective to help empower their student-athletes.

While past Oregon Ducks collaborations leaned heavily on bold green-and-yellow palettes, this collection shifts focus to storytelling, specifically the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest and the iconic Matthew Knight Arena court. At $250, the pack is priced where collector demand and NIL purpose meet. Both colorways are now available on GOAT.
