The custom Oregon Ducks Dunks and Air Force 1s aren't the only collegiate sneakers releasing soon for Nike's favorite university. The brand is also readying the launch of this, a Nike Kobe A.D. in black and yellow connected to the Ducks.

The connection comes via the heel where Oregon's "O" is featured in embroidery, and on the midsole where subtle winged graphics appear.

When is the sneaker release date for this pair of Nike Kobes? Foot Locker describes a similar pair releasing on March 10, and while it doesn't have a photo to go with, it's a safe bet this is that pair.

It's possible the Oregon Ducks will wear these Kobes during their appearance in the NCAA Tournament, although Nike's been plenty eager to give them player exclusive styles in the past.

UPDATE 3/2: Nike has confirmed the March 10 release of this shoe.
