There is no shortage of exciting college football games slated for this weekend. But we cannot sleep on the matchup between the LSU Tigers and the Auburn Tigers. Nike is certainly not taking the game against an Under Armour school for granted.

Earlier this week, the LSU football team was treated to a surprise gift. Head coach Brian Kelly told his team, "We've got something in your locker - pandas." Casual fans may not know what that means, but it was not lost on a room full of young athletes.

The Nike Dunk Low made a name for itself on NCAA basketball courts in the 1980s but has enjoyed an unprecedented comeback in recent years. For the past handful of years, no lifestyle sneaker has been more popular. More specifically, the black and white 'Panda' colorway has resulted in what sneakerheads call a "Panda-mic."

Nike has released the 'Panda' colorway of the Dunk Low too many times to be counted. Still, there remains an unquenchable thirst for the ubiquitous shoe. Despite all of the restocks, the average resale price of the Nike Dunk Low 'Panda' still hovers above the retail price.

Online shoppers can find the sneakers on trusted resale websites like eBay, StockX, GOAT, and KICKS CREW. Even better, the old-school basketball shoe has been released in numerous colorways. Consumers can choose between different styles of the sneaker at retail price on the Nike website.

This Saturday is guaranteed to be another epic installment of the rivalry between LSU and Auburn. Athletes and fans can count on Nike not sitting on the sidelines. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news.
