Nike has unveiled its latest Doernbecher Freestyle collection, which features sneakers designed by the children from the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, OR.
The new “Doernbecher Freestyle 22” collection includes six different styles, featuring the Nike Air Max 1/97, Nike Structure Plus, Nike Air Force 1 Mid, Nike ACG Rufus, Nike GT Future, and Air Jordan 11 Low IE. The kids worked with the brand’s volunteer product experts, allowing them to bring unique designs to the silhouettes.
“For 22 years, Nike and OHSU Doernbecher have celebrated a powerful belief: All kids deserve the opportunity to reach their greatest potential in sport and in life,” Vanessa Garcia-Brito, Nike Inc.’s VP and chief impact officer, said. “Nike is creating a future of youth sport where every kid feels welcome, Doernbecher is providing lifesaving care to help patients thrive, and we proudly come together via the Doernbecher Freestyle program to put kids at the heart of one of Nike’s most beloved collaborations.”
