 Right here where Oregon grow and we're about to see one of the craziest organ duct collections in the world Let's just go ahead and get into it and start cracking open all these cases and let's do a bunch of stuff over there stuff over here, too Let's go through the bronze first some of my favorites. These were really the first Oregon Nike Collab that involved like a pro athlete right like a pro shoe model. So these came out and I think 2005-2006 range the LeBron twos Ducks like Malik Harrison Bryce Taylor were wearing these and this was right about when I first started collecting Oregon shoes and Just fell in love with these. I think I like the whites a little bit Just brings back so many memories and nostalgia from that era that time seeing the players, you know growing up in here and stuff so just really clean shoe and LeBron actually wore these in the 2016 championship parade In Cleveland, which was so cool after you know ten years later or whatever it was for him to break these out So really really cool those like did you get those around that time or was it later? Or like when you got those I probably got those like a year or two after they came Okay, so it's roughly around that time probably would have been like the price of purchasing those back then $300 bucks, okay, which we'll get into the price of these J's because I'm sure we both have the same memories of like the Pricing and how it was then compared to now, but what are those worth now today in current time? Those don't transact a lot because there's not a lot of those hard to find They're not a lot of those out there. Both of these are dead stock. Actually. I've never worn either pair even though I want to wear the white ones. I Would probably say four to five grand. Okay now before we get too deep into this case Is this so this what year was this though? Oh seven. Oh seven. This is I'll say this came next kind of right Yeah, this so what you got up here on top. These are the Air Force one 25s that they came out in 07 And they gave like I think to the basketball and football teams So they all came out around the same time There's a green pair there too. Green's got the cool like checkered vibe. Yeah But kind of the translucent souls are really cool And got camo on the white ones and got the AF 25 chrome on the tongues And what I love about so many of the Oregon shoes is like that they always almost have something cool on the insult Some sort of duck graphic or duck hit. Yeah, these ones are starting to Redden and I've worn these a few times. So Very cool shoe Again, like I have no idea how to price these because they're nobody has them and this is the dope part about like Being in it for so long if you wanted to like build this collection now it's gonna be so hard to go find these sneakers and Especially these older ones and these random things to put sets together. Yeah, it just takes even more time Yeah, obviously more money to do it I think I got all three pairs of these on eBay in like 2010. Yeah That's right. That was I remember I remember I got my organs. Did you get the Oregon State Nines? No, okay I was just wondering because you know, I'm a duck's fan too, but I'm like it's hometown homestay I feel like I gotta get them just cuz but that was as a collector of me. I had to do it I have to go I don't I don't hate Oregon State as much as many duck fans do But I don't I don't need any orange cheese. I feel that I'm glad they only got one. Well, I guess too Okay Do you want to get into the forces or do you want to hit this side over here because I know there's a There's probably a bunch of old stuff over here Yeah, this gets a little newer so yeah, let's check out. All right, let's go over here on this side Take me behind the bar I see you brought some stuff out Yeah, I had to get a lot of this out of other closets and storage and things like that so You know pair of LeBron's basketball shoes. These were just Probably like four or five years ago. These LeBron 9s came out with the ducks on the tongue Not a very wearable shoe for me to wear around but and you could just buy those online VRs These are all baseball. Well, I'm not these these are all baseball. Okay I'm a big fan of the Oregon baseball team One of my friends is the head coach there and and he was an assistant back in the day So I love I love picking up the kind of the dad shoe mm-hmm the baseball dad shoe look That's dope kind of fun one so good quality materials on these two and again They got the bird like that flying on the insoles Some fun shoes. So, you know how they have like the warehouse sale or what I forgot the name of it Yeah, so where it's the surplus surplus. Yeah, there we go Like surplus sale is this kind of more of the environment where you get these type of sneakers from yeah You can go in and get them for a low and add them to the collection Yeah, like none of these none of these were for sale online So you kind of get them at the surplus sale oftentimes when coaches leave the school, right? They want to get rid of their stuff And so people know to reach out to me or you know, or you can find them on eBay resale stores things like that And then this gets into a lot of the like football kind of trainers that all came out mm-hmm Really cool. Oh my gosh. This is like a whole trainer era golden era, bro I've beaten a lot of these too I have tons of pairs that I used to wear these that I just threw away after wearing them down so much But like these were for the spring game. Yeah, the support your troops and where you bring the can of food to come to the game Yeah, come to the ice and remember that yeah, and then all the coaches have these on so got a pair of those I really like these white ones. Yeah, three am three am on them I'm probably gonna start wearing these actually this year. It's fun to like wear them to the football games and people are like Yeah, seeing those for years. So that's really fun. These are more retail drops. Yeah, I came out to the public Yeah, I remember this time and it was funny because they came out and they didn't really hit like that No, it was like if you're a duck's fan great, but like you almost kind of want to catch it on sale or something Yeah, and then now look at the prices. Everything's like four or five everything's four or five hundred bucks and like cool Chromo on the back and I may start lifting weights in these two like I have with these other Pair of trainers that I like these ones with the puddle duck on the back He's even great weightlifting shoes right wear out the tongue or wear out the toe Weight on her. Yeah. Oh, yeah, this is nice. I've quilted in soil. Yeah, this is nice. Yeah, it's cool shoe. Yeah and But yeah, like you could pick these up then and and just buy them on the Nike app Not even sneakers just regular Nike app and they had I don't even think sneakers was around at the time Yeah, it wasn't even around when you're all coming out because this was like 2009 10 11 12 kind of like that era Yep, I'm releasing damn. I'm just broke the memories of these I know you got the revises over there because the revises came out around the same time I'm just taking a trip down memory lane. This is like a just fun time for me to see and all this stuff like these shocks Oh my gosh, so little duck feet on them Come a funny shoe to wear like doesn't feel great But you know, it's definitely cool. I haven't seen these in so long and like it's like though besides Oregon colors That's the only like duck thing on them. But definitely a fun Walkdown memory lane kind of shoe there this again items that some you get online some you got to get from people surplus Oh, whatever may be they have a student store now that has Oregon duck sneakers available in the store now Oh, I haven't even seen that so I went in on the campus and There's what's that store right over there where it was like Taylor's or whatever the yeah Yeah, yeah, so they have a store and I seen they had the shoes available like different like regular shoes like this available They're like retail drop retail drop. So I need to go down there, right? So it's interesting seeing the change of all that before you told me that you also worked at Nike What was what was the story behind that? Yeah, so I'm from Eugene and then 1989 in between my Middle school and high school. They had a summer internship program. Okay, so I applied I was already playing basketball at the time that was my favorite sport and Jordan's I had a pair of Jordan ones and then I didn't get the twos And then as Jordan threes came out Was the winner right before I started working at the store and then so when I was working there I was unboxing Jordan threes all the original colorways And that got me even more hooked on sneakers working at the store there Then of course played through high school kept buying Jordan's all through that time And then didn't really collect until they started doing the Oregon. Okay collaborations. So early 2000 early 2000 I got you're like, okay, and I stayed away from like pretty much all of the You know what you'd consider more hype or well-known shoes of those eras and just focus on the Oregon stuff Um not until kovat did I really start to branch out pick up some off whites? Yeah, various other stuff that most people are more familiar of but Just collecting Oregon stuff alone is a lot of work And not not cheap these days especially I think it's crazy too because there's so many shoes coming out in a single year compared to before Yeah before really there was none, but now it's like, okay, you got one or two and then now You're like, okay every few quarters every quarter feels like there's a few shoes coming out with all the teams and all the different things It's crazy. And since I started posting them on social media. I have so many people who message me saying, oh, I got a pair of, you know PG threes from two years ago They've come out with so many or like all the all the shoes the basketball players wear just made me think of the Cobi's. Yeah, there's so many Cobi's so many PG's so many Durants Yanis shoes the Cobi eight now the Sabrina's like Sabrina. Yeah, there's so many shoes. That's like I can't even Right, I can't even go down that road. So I I focus now on on a little bit of specifics Right, uh, within the Oregon stuff. I feel that okay. Well, we got on this side over here This is like g r but organ duck based coloring. Yeah, it aligns with it. We'll get this is another pair We'll get into those in a second. These were a pair of uh customs I had made Okay, um got the O on them have my graduation year on the inside So just kind of a fun pair to wear and then I love it when they come out with g rs in my color because I can wear them all the time Um, really like these ones with the yellow on the tongue, you know standard Jordan threes stuff that everyone's seen but um Are fun to wear around especially because I have a lot of organ clothing. So you got some stuff down here I do like to do like to match um But even like like I got these for like 60 bucks online And then now there were hundreds After all the like sb, you know hype. Yeah stuff So, um, it's funny how that that all happens at what was once not popular Suddenly becomes really popular. So give me your opinion about the organ fire I feel like you are very qualified to talk about this people don't like hear me say it all the time Should we look at the difference between the two like check them out? um These are okay. Yeah, like I I had the originals and when they when they came out with these I know a lot of people were bummed like the value is going to drop at the peas I think it kind of brings a little bit more attention to the peas like they're special Yeah, because I've worn the peas since and people are like, oh man, those are different And even if they're not sneaker heads, they kind of notice that the the color on these is different. Um, this is more of a kelly green And the tongue's not reflected and a little bit different shape the duck on the back is just what Yeah, it makes the difference, but I do like how they got that murdered out in the middle with the laces and the uh Yeah, I think I think they did a good job on them. I gotta have a pair of organ slides. I got some at home too Uh, I got a different one, but you got to have some of those those are shock shockingly comfortable, too Yeah, I know she the is it lunar? Is that one lunar too? I don't know I know mine was like a lunar or something Some type of phone thing. I don't remember either way. Okay. What we got? Okay, yeah, it's kind of sad with sports illustrated You know kind of going out of I'm not officially out of business, but they just laid off like their whole staff Yeah, um, so I've I've collected most of the duck uh sports illustrated covers Got the one with pre-fontane on the cover over there from the 70s. So it's kind of a fun piece of memorabilia as well Yeah, so this is essentially The man cave, right? Like how did you even come about putting this all together shows us a little detail? Yeah, yeah We had a company up in in portland um Do laser metal cutting in order to make that duck and it actually uh can change colors if you know you want to see a Okay different background or whatever That's when we lose I changed it to red when one organ loses Um, so that's a fun thing and then all of this is reclaimed Timber due to the the tall furs. Okay. So it's kind of a Ode to the Oregon tall furs basketball team of having the reclaimed wood Um, and then you know the the shoe locker idea was my wife's kind of modeled after the famous Oregon locker rooms That's the uh in our old house. I just put them on bookshelves in my office instead of books And she's like let's actually when we built this house. She said let's actually design a A sneaker wall. That's though. I like that So most most wives get mad about the shoes. Yeah, she's good. That's good right there and then uh the o on the ceiling was um Our builder's idea who's actually a washington husky. So that's really brilliant But this is modeled after the basketball arena that has the yellow o on the bottom of the scoreboard So we did that and then uh the beams in that room are supposed to be like matte court Okay, the old the old basketball arena had the exposed beams. Okay the detail So yeah little details to to kind of honor, you know, Oregon sports venues. That's dope. Okay Take me to this side. We'll get into this. We got to talk about what's on that wall over there to Helmets everything. Yeah, some helmets memorabilia. This is uh a cave on thibodeaux signed helmet That a friend got for me that's addressed to me, which is cool And then these are some unique pictures that uh, we actually got from a photographer friend So this was an oregon beat washington a few years back The celebration in the end zone. So he's a professional photographer Who took these and they weren't published anywhere. So we're like, oh, let's get these printed out blown up Baseball bats as I said a big supporter of the baseball team Which is cool, but um, this one's custom for you Yeah, yeah custom for me But these are some of the the recent ones that oregon or no jordan ones But recent shoes that they've released as part of the the ducts of a feather Um Program which is part of the division street and il collective So all the money from these shoes went to oregon athletes So they've made special exclusive shoes on behalf of the oregon athletes So for this one in particular was the nft. Yeah, you had to buy an nft And then they made 120 pairs of these air maxes that Tinker redesigned and then he autographed each one and numbered them Um, but really a beautiful shoe like it's got nice rubber material on the swoosh and Cool interior with the o and the colors. I don't know if that's viewable Sono on the back and so and they're very very rare same rubber on the duck. Yep rubber on the tongue super dope So very high quality Might wear them. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. It's a tough call They made these dunks with the same kind of duck o on them I've got a second pair of those They they came out with like a thousand pairs of these so you can definitely find them So when you say came out also people remember So pe's goes to the players These ones in particular go to the players But also they do a separate batch that goes on the goat these in particular came all these two were on the goat website This was a separate drop through a different website But they go through that and then you can purchase it through there and it's a bidding process. I remember I called you What was that the eights? I think yeah, we were talking about the eights. We were collaborating on our bidding strategies We were different sizes. So it worked out. Yeah, we're trying to help each other. I find the best deal You know what I'm saying? Okay. These air force ones. I was just talking about this. I'm slacking I need to get a pair in my collection. These things are nice. Yeah, they're nice I'm not a huge air force one fan like wearing them. I feel a little blocky just on the shoe But I really like these like Metal eyelets and they got the hang tag with the o on one side Back and then nice material and then the cork insoles kind of a cool touch So these are just cool and then the reflective Um reflective liner on that is is a nice touch as well. Yeah, those are nice And then they just came out with these where they only did 10 pair. I walked in. I was like Wait, when did these drop and he was like, yeah, there's only like 10 of them. I'm like, okay Okay, that's this again was another goat auction Really? They only had 10 of them. When did this happen? It didn't get very much exposure. So Um the price between these two or where they made like a thousand of these and they only made 10 of these The price wasn't very much different. No way. So you're telling me I might be able to find a 13. You might you might uh-oh These are fire. These are nice quilted insole on these also the hang tag Shows that it's uh eight of 10 Um, these are actually like really not like even if it wasn't a gold on the back. Yeah The materials the execution shoe. This is a great. Is this all this patent leather right here on the liner Yeah, I'll say they do three in one there. Okay. What you got up in here in the case This is kind of a random mess of stuff Um, I just throw a lot of shoes and memorabilia in this on different times like these were the field generals They wore when they played in the national title. Yeah, I remember that mariotas year So that was like 2016 remember seeing them all uh coming off the bus with the sweatsuits and no I wore these to um a foot locker Um annual like sneaker black tie event in new york city. Okay, so It went with my tux and everything. So that was a fun time to wear those. That was dope got a lot of comments Um, these came out similarly available on goat Um, see that was the one I passed on. Yeah, I just don't like I don't like them I don't like it. Hey, but at least they wasn't like too expensive. So you didn't have to spend too much on them Kobe's Uh, these are hyper chases that again, I like I like the organ. Uh, yeah the details of the trees Harden wore a pair of these when he was a Nike aphid. He wore the organ ones with the Those on them. Those are fire. These heraches just came out. We're also a Goat auction with the money going to the players number those Um, they did. Yeah, okay. So they only made 345 pairs of these. I got lucky number 213. Okay I see you got a jersey folded up in here Do you go after like the gloves the jerseys the days to that or is it kind of like every now and they might be a gift every now Then I mean I I get some of the jerseys. I like these are the this was the other Oregon national title game they lost Um, so it's a little Michael James jersey. Yeah We went down to that game and watched in horror as Auburn, uh, kicked a field goal to win But these were the shoes that you're too You know got the like heraches, which are um, pretty rare tinker design these ones too with the the white duck and the black duck on the backs Um, the leather on those. Yeah, very very fun shoe. I like the elephant print. I'm a big big elephant print fan This was this idea or did they come out? Yeah, these were Nike IDs. So both both these ones and uh, so for a period of time Nike had Nike ID Nike by you and they allowed people to create like organ. Was there other colleges too? I don't remember. Yeah, they did. Yeah, there was other colleges too. Um, I just remember seeing everybody doing the organ versions Um, but yeah, you could create your own organ ID Air force one and different stuff high tops low tops different stuff. So honestly, I like this all green color ways fire Yeah, I just give you that old retro vibe. I like that too. Definitely clean But yeah, that's a good era. I was uh, I was slacking. I know I should have got a pair pair Lebron's autographed by Sabrina that she wore Um, Sabrina's been great like cool cool girl and cool woman and uh, great basketball player It was fun watching her shoot against Steph and the uh three-point shootout. Right, right and then uh, these are pit crew um I don't even know what they called these. Um They gave these to the pit crew 500 pairs Okay, and the pit crew is the Oregon student section at the basketball games So kind of like a blazer chuck taylor. I was talking uh Pretty sure it was Joey here and he was saying he was a part of like starting the pit crew Yeah back when it like began. Yep. I'm like crazy. He was you could see in front row. Yeah Like how how I started going from then and now like and then where it came with the shoes Which I think kind of brings us in to this wall the pit crew three we can show the threes But another stuff that came before that Starting here and going all the way through down to here are all the Jordans that they made specifically for organ sports teams. Um, and so it's Every starting in 2010 with the football team And then going all the way through all the various sports Um managed to grab every pair that's been made for a team. And so that's been like a Collection to complete and then to keep up with Um, some of them were pretty easy. Some of them were extremely difficult To uh to acquire. Okay. Let's start with the 2010. Yeah, pull them out. We'll show them what they look like and everything. Um But everybody thought it was the nines That everybody's like the first organ p e was the nines and we're like, no, it was the 20 This is how you open swiss. Yeah. Yeah, it opens this way. Yeah So these were uh jordan teams was the mod the team model of shoe Um, so they just took a standard shoe and then just slapped on the win the day Logo, which was the slogan of the football team at the time An organ sticker and a ducts team issue sticker. It's literally a sticker. It's just sticker on a shoe It's not even having it doesn't have a sample tag or anything like that But it was the first organ p e for jordan's first jordan's that came out. Yeah They definitely wanted a radar. These ones are like a couple hundred bucks or something. Yeah, you you don't have to pay much I mean if they're they're still rare, but nobody really wants them. Yeah It's like you can't find it, but at the same time. Yeah, I know what I was looking for it Not a super popular shoe. Okay, the nines Again, they got slightly better again took a Standard jordan model and then sewed an organ o on the back But at the time this wasn't a release because remember we saw this release later Yeah, they released the shoe later years later. Yeah Um, so yeah, so it was it was a unknown shoe at the time and the materials are pretty good Like kind of a nice suedey material But just an organ o and the o shape isn't even really like right perfect But gave these to the football team. Uh, I remember at the time everyone was so jealous of like, oh, man How do I get those? Um Didn't wasn't very hard. We were yeah, I remember during this time. We were literally trading retros Straight across for these these those and then when we got to the fours That's when it came like a thousand dollars 800 bucks started going right. Yeah for these. I'll be like I'll give you some hair sevens All right, like that's the type of trades we was doing back during this time. So Uh, did you get these in that era? Yeah, I got them. Okay Probably a year most of them take a little bit of time before they yeah So those were only a couple hundred bucks. Okay, um the threes the threes So jordan three is my favorite model going back to when I worked at that nike store I also just find that they're very comfortable very wearable I had a pair of these that I got in Probably a year or two after the pit crew got them. Okay Um Warm all the time like just everyday shoe that I was wearing probably paid. I don't know 300 400 for them And just beat them into the ground to the point that I threw them away So then probably five or six years ago Um a friend of mine in portland Was at a oregon fundraiser auction up there and was like hey, I know you he didn't even know much about shoes And he was like hey, they have an autograph pair of tinker half field jordan threes. Are you interested in bidding? And I was like absolutely and he's like, what's your max price? And I was like, I don't know $5,000 And ended up getting these for significantly cheaper than that just because nobody They didn't know I didn't care nobody knew or cared and Now if you auction these off they would be hard to get so Um, I'm always tempted to wear them but I'll say was it your size too? Yeah, it's my size That's crazy. Yeah, so due to the due to the autograph and everything I haven't worn them Which kind of kills me because I feel that I I love that color way And then you have the unpicked crews also People have to know about that version the unpicked crews So these ones have the clap these are clapping hands, which is tough to tell Yeah, which is supposed to signify the student section And then the pick crew logo on that side the unpicked crews don't have these two logos Just have the yellow and just have the yellow feet. I'm still looking for a pair of those Anybody? Yeah, if you got a pair of the unpicked crews And I know a couple of you out there I've talked to Not willing to sell. Yeah, let me know the unpicked crew is another sleeper In that time. Now, yeah, it's basically a sample. Yeah. I mean, it's like there's probably Less than 10 in existence or something like that. You don't see those too often. Um, Now actually I actually think they gave those to the track team I don't remember. I just remember like is how those I was like, why is it because I had a pair before and I'm like Why is it different? I don't know. Is this legit? And then I found out it was I was like, okay, that's good Because I like I got it for somebody here. But I just remember now what happened was they gave the unpicked crews to the track team Okay, and that's where those came from. Gotcha. So there probably was a little more than 10 pairs There's probably like either way 40 either way not a lot Um shortly thereafter they came out with the White version of they call a lot of people call them the pit crews, but they they've never had the logo. I call these the footballs Yeah, they gave them to the football team Um, beautiful shoe. I wear these ones, uh inside a lot oftentimes when we're playing road games Um, I like to wear them around the house. You know what's interesting too The paint doesn't crack as often on the white pair than it does on the black pair black pair. Yeah, not weird It's so weird getting a little cracking, but it's not bad. Yeah a little cracking right here But uh on shoes like this it like Still beautiful. It looks good. It still looks good Still looks good. Okay. So I have my little two cents for this one Remember you was talking about the pricing and how they were cheap back then this one these two you could Come up to somebody and be like, I'll give you 500 for the set and they would have both and you'd be like 250 a piece Like I remember I paid 600 for my set But I was like I felt like I was spending a lot of money at the time and then you look at the prices now It's like three four five thousand ours like crazy To see the changes over the years and the prices. It's wild this one Was the one that made everything go crazy for college pees. Yeah, I don't care what anybody says. This was a shoe And and what are like just amazing shoe, right? Like my favorite the colors the metallic green The back just with the chromo Um, unfortunately, like this is the same metallic paint they used on the helmets at the time Yep, and weren't wasn't really meant to last so you'll see this cracking paint on A lot of these versions of these shoes also some cracking there, but I I wear these up so much tips for the people When you see cracking on an organ four that means typically it's a real pair Yeah, when you see these new pairs floating around and they don't got any type of cracking on them Like anywhere on it that's probably going to be a fake pair because this happened to literally everybody It's just like and then if you wear pants, I'm assuming you wore pants That just rubs it and it makes it fall off like rubs it makes always remind me of shorts because once I found out about that I was like, I can't wear what pants. Yep. It's uh, it's a gorgeous shoe though And like it was uh, also the episode or the netflix show sneaker heads Yeah, they the whole show they were trying to chase down this shoe Yeah, and so that also kind of made it even a little bit more legendary to like Have this be the the focus of a netflix show Was really cool. And there's there's some awesome photos of like dwayne wade kevin diran Like mba pros wearing these yeah, and they're fits when they come up to gain. So this was 2012. Yeah, so During this time Give you guys a quick during this time Again prices was like this it like tripled around this time So now it's like you got to spend like a thousand dollars 800 bucks if you got a plug Maybe you can get them for 500. That's kind of like what they was floating around that time and then The force came out On the on the basketball force. They're like, oh, well, these are more limited And the prices just started going crazy the duck man force Um, they gave these only to the basketball team. I hated on these for a long time You hate it on these. Yes. Oh, you're crazy because I like the black pair more Oh, no, I know it feel like things was just heating up, but we had to end today's episode Don't worry tomorrow's episode will be coming very very soon So stick around for part two and trust me He has a lot of bangers in his collection and some crazy other memorabilia as well So stick around for that.
