Nike Go FlyEase "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 nice. This year's shoes are no exception in this respect. 

Chris was riding his bike to school one morning when he was hit by a car. Although he lost a leg in the accident, he refused to let it get him down. He loves Japanese culture and wanted to visualise it on the Nike Go FlyEase. The sneaker features a wave pattern, a kimono-inspired wrap design and a cool graphic of Mt Fuji on the tongue. We see a very cute detail on the insole. There you will find his favourite animal, a panda, hanging out with him at his favourite place, the beach.

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.
