Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low "Doernbecher XIX" (US-Exclusive)

The label with the Swoosh is endeavouring on many fronts to make its contribution to a better and more sustainable world. These efforts are not only expressed through the use of recycled materials, but also through partnerships such as with the Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Oregon. As part of their annual Freestyle programme, they offer young patients at the hospital the opportunity to design a Nike sneaker, which is later auctioned off with the profits going to the foundation. The collections that are regularly created as a result are always in high demand and look extremely good. This year's shoes are no exception in this respect. 

Garrett was born 15 weeks prematurely and weighed just 650g. He is now 14 years old and has found a passion for science, learnt to love chess and collects historic hats. Garrett's shoe is an ode to the Pacific Northwest, with trees, mountains and a waterfall cascading down the tongue. He's even added realistic mud splatters so you don't have to worry about getting dirty.

The entire Doernbecher XIX collection will be released on 2 December with a variety of different models. Unfortunately, we are once again left empty-handed in Europe, which is why we have to resort to reseller platforms such as StockX to get hold of a pair.
