Sports fans love team-exclusive colorways, but hate that they are never released to the public. Nike has done a commendable job of releasing more lately, including an all-black Nike Air Force 1 for the Oregon Ducks.

Now, the Ducks are getting another colorway along with the other select programs: the Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs, and Kentucky Wildcats. So, three SEC schools and one Big Ten school. It's random, but we will take it. Below is everything shoppers must know about the collegiate kicks.
