Nike continues its streak of creativity with the Oregon Ducks by unveiling the Oregon Ducks x Nike Vaporposite “Mummy Duck” Cleats. While the Ducks have long been known for their audacious uniforms and footwear, the latest design features the perfect combination of school pride and tongue-in-cheek storytelling.
The “Mummy Duck” cleats come in a bone white base, covered by mummy-esque layers wrapped around a Foamposite-style shell. Lights up, reflective accents give a ghoulish pop, while black Swooshes are torn and frayed for a distressed appearance. Volt plates and pull tabs complete the vibrant look for maximum contrast and in-game impact.
Oregon-specific details bring it all together. The tongue of the cleat features the Ducks’ mascot wrapped in mummy bandages, while the heel pull tabs carry the school’s signature “O.” A design with a healthy dose of Halloween fun, but with enough nods to the program’s identity to remain authentic. Functionally, the Vaporposite technology provides a super-lightweight structure with elite grip. It’s the perfect marriage of bravado and performance that makes Oregon’s player exclusives so appealing.
Like with most Ducks footwear, this pair will remain exclusive to the program. “Mummy Duck” cleats won’t drop retail, but they’re another example of Nike’s commitment to some of the most innovative player exclusives in the game.
