Release: DOAF x Nike Air Max 1 'Tokyo'
In partnership with Division Street's Ducks of a Feather (DOAF), Flight Club introduces the DOAF x Nike Air Max 1 'Tokyo.’ This limited-edition release celebrates the enduring legacy of Tinker Hatfield's groundbreaking 1987 design while tying Tokyo's style of simplicity and craftsmanship with the vital spirit of the Oregon Ducks.
Available exclusively through Flight Club Drawings and at Flight Club Tokyo on June 28, the release coincides with the Tokyo Oregon Football Showcase presented by Flight Club, further strengthening the connection between Oregon Athletics and Japan's next generation of American football athletes.
DESIGN
UPPER
The Air Max 1 'Tokyo' is dressed in grey tones inspired by Tokyo's understated approach to design. The neutral foundation allows the silhouette's intricate details to take center stage, creating a balanced composition that feels both timeless and contemporary.
Vibrant multicolor accents reference the illuminated streets of Shibuya and Harajuku, capturing the contrast between Tokyo's quiet elegance and its electric nighttime energy.
GRAPHICS + DETAILS
At the heart of the design is a custom Ducks of a Feather duck head graphic rendered in a multicolor treatment. The motif represents the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives that make up the University of Oregon family.
Additional storytelling arrives through custom Japanese characters embroidered on the tongue, spelling "GO DUCKS" as a tribute to Oregon's global family of athletes, alumni and supporters.
HERITAGE
Few sneakers have shaped global sneaker culture like the Air Max 1. Designed by Nike legend Tinker Hatfield in 1987, the silhouette introduced visible Air technology and forever changed the relationship between performance innovation and design.
Nearly four decades later, the Air Max 1 continues to resonate across generations and countries. In Japan, the silhouette has long held a special place within sneaker culture, embraced for its collectibility and enduring relevance.
A GLOBAL DUCKS FAMILY
Limited to just 300 individually numbered pairs worldwide, the DOAF x Nike Air Max 1 'Tokyo' proudly celebrates the people that continue to shape Oregon's future.
Available exclusively through Flight Club Drawings and released only at Flight Club Tokyo, the project continues Ducks of a Feather's mission to unite athletics, culture and opportunity. As with all DOAF initiatives, proceeds from the release will directly benefit participating University of Oregon student-athletes.
Flight Club Drawings will be open from June 23 through June 26 online and in-store, with winners notified on June 27. On June 26, Flight Club Tokyo will also host a special meet-and-greet with Tinker Hatfield, alongside a curated display of rare Oregon Player Exclusives and archival pieces celebrating the University's rich design heritage.
