Air Jordan 1 High Doernbecher Freestyle - Mr. Boober



You may recall the Nike’s/Jordan Brand’s involvement with the Doernbecher Children’s Hospita, the two teamed up to release a series of sneakers which contributed to the hospital with its sale. This time around, Tony Taylor Jr a.k.a Mr. Bobber is the most recent designer to the Doernbecher Freestyle collection, he fought Nephrotic Syndrome and had a successful kidney transplant. As for the sneakers themselves, they are package in a wooden with lasered text and graphics and feature a gradient upper along with a beach scene outline, gold stitching and gum sole. Lastly, the sneakers also feature Tony on the tongue and is finished off with a tag that names some of the people who contributed to the surgery including his family and doctor’s.

Jayson Mayden and Estelle Maranan guided Tony with his vision of the project and the inspirations took inspiration from the very experiences of his life. This shoe will release November 14th along with four other Doernbecher children designed shoes. Thanks to SoleCollector.com for the pictures and story.
