Nike's flagship school meets its flagship shoe

Kenny Farr has worked as an equipment manager limited to Oregon, and without another program for comparison he acknowledges his sense of normalcy has been warped like a rubber sole. Last season Oregon football chose its uniforms from a pool of eight jerseys, eight pants, six helmets, seven cleats and 6 socks. Then add helmet decals and gloves. Finally, multiply that by about 100 players. Farr, now responsible for solely football, can be a master of spreadsheets.

"I guess I like the organized chaos of it," he said, "If you just had one helmet it feels like it could be kind of ... boring."
It had not been always like this. He didn't always have a row of NFL helmets on his shelf signed by everyone from Ducks in the pros to Ray Lewis and Howie Long. Cornerback Darrelle Revis - who played at the University of Pittsburgh -- once shipped a New York Jets helmet west in appreciate your receiving one of the "care packages" Oregon sends its alums who make an active NFL roster, in addition to special VIPs.

Farr came to Eugene from Grants Pass in 1997 and found his way into the equipment room as a student manager. It was only one year earlier that Knight asked his famous question of football coach Mike Bellotti: "What will we will need to go to the next level?" It was only three seasons after Oregon wore a mix of Riddell and Nike uniforms en route to its first Rose Bowl berth in 37 years.

Knight and Oregon ultimately reshaped this program with glass, steel, speed and the spread offense. But with rubber, leather and air cushioning, the Ducks have gone a step further, creeping to the forefront of the imagination of sneaker collectors across the world, some of whom have likely never watched a single Ducks game.

Looking beyond Bowerman's waffle trainers and the typical, retail sneakers Nike has co-opted into Duck colors, Oregon's the recent past of customized player-edition Nikes began in 2003. Home white and road green versions of LeBron James' second signature shoe were instant hits.

"That kind of exploded," DePaula says.
It had not been until 2009, however, that Nike's Air Jordan model, its flagship shoe, met Oregon, its flagship school.

The idea's genesis is hazy but what's clear is Knight, former head coach Chip Kelly and Tinker Hatfield -- Nike's VP of Creative Concepts, an original Jordan designer and a former letter-winning Duck pole vaulter -- were the driving forces. Now, Hatfield designs the Oregon Jordans largely by himself.
Although the designs for every Jordan are intended at least two decades ago, the updated colors and accents made them unlike any previous iteration. Each time the sneakers are revealed to the players, two things happen: They go wild and Farr's popularity skyrockets.

"My phone fills up those days with (Ducks) in the NFL, 'How should we find some good?'" Farr says. "For the right people and former players we want to take care of them but there are a lot of calls from people who are friends of men and it's like, I can not do that. It's nothing personal against them but it's not my stuff to give you. There must be a line drawn."

The Oregon Jordans will likely never be released at retail and with such limited supply comes delirious demand. DePaula says he's seen pairs of recent Oregon-edition Foamposite Ones that retail for $250 selling for $700, and they are available in select stores. For a rare UO Jordan, price can stretch into the thousands. Ten Oregon Jordans were recently listed on eBay with asking prices exceeding $3,000.

Oregon's amount of security over its Jordans stockpile can feel akin to a government's supervision over a valuable arsenal. To reduce players' temptation to promote, the Ducks issue Jordans sometimes only for a certain game before requiring these shoes checked in until Nike and Oregon want them worn again. Shoes also have identifying details like a player's number often sewn in, though motivated sellers may easily cover the marks with tape, for example, when advertising them online.
Also the Jordans that celebrities and special Nike athletes receive are frequently logged.

Handbags come in a number of forms, styles, materials and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you take them.

Leather shoulder bag

SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, note pad, cosmetics and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags have become practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by females.

CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in the hand or tucked under your arm. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are made just like a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry all of your essentials.

Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed or maybe hard-cased. They come in number of shapes and materials, including silk, patent leather and sequined fabrics. A clutch can be closed with a fold-over flap, top closure, zipper, push lock, drawstring or any number other types of closures.

HANDHELD BAG
Obviously, these bags are created to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They aren't intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.

Colorful tote bag

TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags will often be made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and usually have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor activities or shopping.

MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags may also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are perfect since you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag come in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and tourists.

BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students could be the backpack. These bags have two straps and are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
The perception of handbag you decide depends on what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special events or circumstances. Other women own lots of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it for their outfit, destination and mood.

Now that you understand the handbag categories by how you carry them, we will break it down a little further. On the next page, we discusses some of the more common shapes of handbags.
