today we're going to be taking a look at the ducks of a feather air max 1. there
were only 120 pairs of this shoe made and this release was definitely something that we don't
usually see that often and if you didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show
on this channel i love talking about sneakers giving you guys in-depth reviews breaking down the
styles cuts materials and all those fancy things so if you haven't already consider subscribing
and joining the fam we're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get
us there so with all that being said let's go ahead and take a look at this box because this
is already something that we don't typically see i'm excited to crank these things open bro this is
a dope shoe starting with the lid of the box as you can see you have your classic hands you got
your all over black with the white logo and then you have your oregon ducks right here in green
and at the top of the lid it switches to black on the green areas just below that and then on
the other side all green all green and then on here it says limited with kind of a light faint
kind of green color to that and then on the size tag it reads m nike air max 1uo size 14.
unfortunately not for me i'll explain to you guys in a second and there's no specific retail on this
shoe either these things were sold through nft which i'll explain to you guys in a bit as well
now lifting open the lid of the box as you can see right here you have your all-over qr code with the
oregon duck in the middle i'm assuming this is supposed to represent the nft that was purchased
or the website or whatever maybe i didn't get a chance to scan it yet but i'm pretty sure that's
probably what it has to do with it now looking at the paper you have all over ufo ducks print on
there and then peeling about the paper we got the shoe oh we got the shoe okay first impressions of
this sneaker yeah these are pretty fire but these things pop for sure especially with the colors i'm
excited to break these down but before we do that you know on this channel we always got to talk
about the history first so let's break it down on how we even got to this point as some people may
or may not know tinker hatfield was the designer of the air max one and he has created special
colorways and collaborations for the university of oregon players over the past 10 plus years and
now they're coming to this new era of having the division street which is something that is done by
phil knight and that is his foundation that gives the opportunity for the players at the school
now to be able to make money through different products like this and other brand opportunities
so as you previously saw me breaking down the air jordan 8 and how they sold that on stockx and the
whole process and how the money was going back to the players and then i showed you guys in that
review this is a similar type of thing but now it was done through nft so how exactly does that work
so what they decided to do was announce the launch date in time and then from there they did a dutch
auction so basically the price starts at about 12 ethereum and the bottom price is one ethereum
and from there it starts and it slowly goes down and if your size starts to sell you got to kind
of bid and get it at that price or you can try to be patient and get it for a lower price as it
continues to go down throughout the day but you got to play that risk and not knowing if you're
going to be able to get the shoe or not so that was something that a lot of people was worried
about so some people got it at a really high price and other people got it at really good
deals because they were able to be patient and they got lucky getting their size or they just
said you know what i'll grab whatever i can get based on the lowest price so after you put your
bid in on the nft which means you have this screenshot like every other nft you'll have
a photo an image a video image whatever you want to call it that goes into your wallet on metamask
or coinbase or whatever it is that you hold your wallets for durian of teas and everything that's
a whole nother world of stuff that i'm still not fully into yet so i don't know everything but
when it comes to that you basically purchase the nft and then you go through the process
of saying hey this is my shoe i'm claiming it this is my address shipped me the shoes and then they
had a certain date that they shipped the shoes out which was recently over the past couple weeks
and it was kind of a couple month process but in that process it was also dope because tinker hatfo
was actually able to sign all the shoes which we'll get into in a second so at the time on
average most of these pairs were selling for somewhere around two ethereum and at that time
the ethereum was worth somewhere around 3 500 so to ethereum or just under 2 ethereum could say
roughly the sneaker was selling for six thousand or seven thousand dollars per pair now that sounds
like a lot of money and honestly it is but for some people this is more of a charitable donation
or somebody supporting a different thing that has a bigger cause so because this was from the
division street program and the money is allocated to the players this is how the split went 67.5
of the money went to the players 10 of the money went back to the division street fund
and the other 22.5 of the money went back to the production cost and the staffing and everything
like that so basically the players were definitely able to get a lot of money and if you were on the
football team you got a nice little check to say the least typically the ufo football team has
just over 100 players on the squad so for them to have 120 players that gives them an opportunity to
all roughly get around five to seven thousand dollars per person and that's what gives the
players the opportunity to get paid out equally and have a good check so hopefully that explains
it all for you guys on the broader end now let's start breaking down the details of the shoe and
we could talk about resale prices later in the video because you guys are gonna be surprised
on what people are asking for these shoes now starting with the bottom of the shoe you have
your classic air max one outsole this is gonna be a dark kind of forest green vibe to that and then
you got this more neon lime green going up to the midsole on the air unit that looks like you got a
dark green as well matching the outsole and then on this felt kind of nubuck material that you have
here on the upper around the top end of the mud guard this is also going to be that dark green
matching with the outsole now when it comes to the upper you're going to have your classic mixture
of about three different materials you got two different types of meshes and then you got more
of this belt type material when it comes to the darker and lighter greens that you see around the
midfoot or around the heel looking at the top of the toe this resembles the same materials that you
would see on your classic og white and red air max one but now it's just in that lime green and that
also translates up to the tongue as well now this is a dope touch when we get to the tongue you have
a rubber ducky right here it's actually funny i call it a rubber ducky because it's like a rubber
material and then it's the duck so you don't say i know it's not a yellow rubber ducky but i call
it the rubber ducky so you got this material right here with a rubber duck and it's got kind of the
different colors right here and these are going to kind of also represent the colors that you see
on the nfts so it's a nice mixture of that and you have that same rubber swoosh here with the
different colors as well in that pattern on the back of the heel you have a nike air classic to
the air max one and then on the back of the hill on the left foot you have the university of oregon
oh looking at the sockliner and behind the tongue you have a green hit right here and then the same
pattern that you saw on the swoosh or on the duck you're going to have that striping pattern going
throughout the insult as well it looks like it's all throughout the whole insult with the o on the
right foot and the same thing on the left foot now when it comes to the standard laces on this
shoe you have all white lace but these are a lot thicker a little bit heavier grade when it
comes to that and then on the green pair this is more standard so your classic just flat shoelaces
another dope touch is this hang tag right here it says ducks of a feather that's the common theme of
the nft as you saw in the box and the same thing that you see right here so this is kind of a dope
hang tag something that we don't typically see too often and actually looks like it's kind of
glowing all the time which is super dope and then the last and final hit that everybody loves to see
what number they have that number represents the nft as well so so if you look right here
it says 118 out of 120 and then it has tinker's autograph just above that and this is something
that is going to be on every single pair each one is going to be numbered differently but you're
going to see that same touch with the autograph i know some people were wishing that he autographed
both shoes but i think it is dope that he actually autographed the left foot because that has the
oregon ducks logo on it in particular so i think just overall it looks like a simple shoe yet it
pops crazy with the colors but there are some cool details and materials and mixtures as well so so
with all that being said let's talk about other people's opinions of this shoe if they think it's
fire or trash and prices and numbers and resales and everything on what my predictions are in the
future so if you haven't already follow me on instagram so you can participate in the polls
and see all the results here on the channel i asked the people of the question is this shoe
fire or trash this is what they said 75 of the people chose fire and 25 of the people chose
trash and i completely understand i already knew this was going to win in the fire category i was
just interested to see how fire people thought the shoe was now me i can say i'm kind of on that same
fence of the 75-25 i wouldn't say this is just like oh this is a 10 out of 10 sneaker but i think
the concept and everything behind it especially with me being an oregon baby and loving all these
organ sneakers and having the different things in my collection is something that gravitated to me
wanting to have the shoe in my collection now when it comes to price that goes the next question do i
want to spend five six seven thousand dollars on an air max one and i could spend less on
an air jordan organ pe and get something i like even more so that's kind of the debate that i've
been having of like how bad do i really want this shoe yes it's gonna be a little bit hard
to get it and then this whole process with the nft thing that's a whole other topic people are
literally trying to sell the nft for like five bands just the nft no shoe included like what
what if you gonna sell me a 5 000 nft i better get the shoes bruh and they better be brand new
now like i said earlier unfortunately this is not my pair but luckily i'm able to give you
guys a review i was on katya's channel if you haven't checked her channel out before
make sure you do it's called kicks and cocktails we shot a video we were talking about this so we
made a special drink that kind of mixed up and made the same colors and everything i brought
these from her shout out to sue appreciate you bro for letting me get these as well
and um yeah i really do need to add these to my collection though you know what i'm saying like if
this was a size 13 i would be putting an offer in but i know you know he's not gonna let him go so
i gotta find somebody with a size 13 and that's another thing let's talk about that real quick
remember when i told y'all it's hard to get the bigger sizes this is a prime example if you go to
the website you can see they only have a few pairs of size 13 a few pairs of 12 and a half more size
12s and then as the size gets smaller there's more pairs available and then as you can see 14 and i
think there's only one size 15 that was available so basically this is a prime example of how things
go when you want the shoe in a size 13 14 or 15 your odds are so slim because they just don't make
them like they literally don't make nearly as many pairs as they do for other people and it becomes
really hard to get the shoe that you want especially when you got to spend five six racks
on a sneaker it's like you better get your size so that way you can at least wear it someday so
i don't know that's my struggle that's my problem i still need the shoe i'm trying to get these i'm
glad i got you guys to review though let me know what you guys think down below in the comment
