Nike Doernbecher Freestyle

November 14th, 2008 · No Comments

nike-doernbecher-freestyle-5-collection-01For the fifth consecutive year, Nike and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital have collaborated on the Nike Doernbecher Freestyle, a collection of shoes designed by kids who have overcome serious illnesses. The limited editions designed by each individual—as well as one done by Nike designer Mark Smith—were auctioned off, with the proceeds going to Doernbecher. Additionally, proceeds from the sales of the mass-produced shoes go to benefit the hospital as well. In total, the five-year old program has brought the children’s hospital nearly $2 million.

This year the shoes were designed by Tony Taylor (Air Jordan 1, auctioned for $12,500), Emily Giersch (Nike Free Mary Jane, $7000), Staci Wright (Nike Air Zoom Vomero+3, $20,000), Colin Couch (Nike Air Force 1-White/Laser-etched gold, $8000), Brandi Berger (Nike Air Force 1 White/Blue, $8000), and Mark Smith’s Air Max celebrating the 5 year anniversary. The shoes are currently available on NikeStore.com as well as Niketowns and some smaller stores with a Nike account.
