University of Oregon Flexes over 20 Nike PEs Ahead of March Madness

Alright, alright, shut it down. This NCAA basketball season has been full of incredible PE sneakers, with adidas, Jordan Brand, and, most notably, Nike going all out for their sponsored schools, shipping what seem like endless boxes of PE colorways to major college programs. But while Duke, USC, Kentucky, and more have been showing off endless heat all season, the real champs are here, straight from Nike’s backyard.

Ahead of this month’s March Madness tournaments, the University of Oregon Basketball Team decided to remind everyone who really runs things in the PE sneaker world, posting a series of glamour shots compiling the entire year’s Nike PE lineup, running through Ja 3s, KD 18s, Giannis Freak 7s, GT Cut 3s, Kobe 5s, Sabrina 3s, and LeBron 23s. Each silhouette is done in three colorways: a home pair, an away version, and an alternate to match any uni the team laces up.

Adding insult to injury for other schools, a new pair of GT Futures covered in subtle feather print was added to the mix over the weekend. In Phoenix, Devin Booker added more heat to the collection, keeping his college PE run going, warming up in a new grey, black, and gold Oregon Book 2 PE.

If you were putting together a March Madness bracket of PE sneakers from this season, Oregon is undeniably taking a number one seed all the way to a ladder and a pair of scissors. To keep up with all the latest NCAA PE news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
