Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG "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. 

Hailey's fate is non-functioning heart valves. She has had five operations because of this and wanted to honour her difficult journey with a special heart-inspired sneaker. The logo on the tongue and insole is Hailey's unique heart and the gold accents on the sneaker are meant to represent her shining personality. As a little bonus, she has added some of her favourite things, such as a dog or a dinosaur, as charms that can be worn on the shoe or as a bracelet.

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.
