Simply by name recognition alone, the Grateful Dead x Oregon Ducks x Nike Air Max 90 has the potential to be a genuine breakout story, uniting two of the Swoosh’s most high-profile collaborators on a silhouette that’s already plenty storied in its own right. LA retailer Bodega took the sneaker world by surprise by stealthily and unexpectedly posting images of the three-way collaborator, and now, more retailer shots further clarify what we’ll receive once this link-up goes public.

To build a foundation for this shoe, said Bodega image already confirmed some of the more attention-grabbing details of this shoe, including a tie-dye mudguard, felted Swoosh, overall green/yellow colorway, and a “Dancing Ducks” hangtag that interpolates just one of the Dead’s iconic pieces of imagery.

The latter is particularly noteworthy in the context of these new shots, as those additional angles reveal an updated heel badge that replaces the typical Nike Air, again spinning off Jerry Garcia’s imprint and their vast array of iconography with a collegiate update of the “Stealie” skull, harkening back to the AM90’s first year on shelves. Though partially obscured in these shots, “Stealie” appears to make a repeat appearance on the interior tongue in its default red/blue, while a pre-distressed outsole ties to the off-white midsole.

As a final piece of info coming out of this update, these shots stemming from a different retailer confirm a wide distribution. The Grateful Dead x Oregon Ducks x Nike Air Max 90 is expected to hit multiple partnering stockists for a wide launch on October 24th.
