These one-of-a-kind Nike Doernbecher shoes are a coveted item that raises funds for a great cause.
12 pairs of unique Nike Doernbecher sneakers are being auctioned off to support the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The Air Jordan 12 shoes are not only a worthwhile expenditure because of their support of children's health, but also feature a completely unique design that sneaker enthusiasts will surely recognize and value.
Each pair was designed by Nike creative director and notorious sneaker laser-etcher Mark Smith. The motif of each of Smith's one-of-a-kind designs incorporates the original sketches for the Air Jordan, done by Nike sneaker mastermind Tinker Hatfield. Thus each pair of unique shoes contains a piece of Nike sneaker history while supporting the Nike Doernbecher initiative.
