The partnership between Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and Nike and Jordan Brand has resulted in some of the most memorable and celebrated capsule collections of sneakers in recent memory. Beginning in 2004, the Doernbecher Freestyle VII will officially unveil on October 9th; the most anticipated shoes of the collection is the Air Jordan III, and here we have a first look at this upcoming November Release. The upper features a tonal red-on-red elephant print, a black lace placket and tongue, and a black and metallic silver midsole which is paired with a translucent outsole. The upper features a special grid graphic of tiles featuring hints of special shapes and patterns. The inspiration of the design will be revealed soon enough but the young designer behind this Air Jordan III clearly did an fantastic job. Take another look at the Air Jordan III Doernbecher after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more information regarding this upcoming release.

Lovin these!!

FIRST, FIRST, FIRST, DETROIT STAND UP WOOO!
these look like fake jordans!
October 5th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Clear sole, red stitch for the win! the only thing i would change is the elephant print. the red on red print takes away from its initial beauty i think, but stop cop worthy!
October 5th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
This is the best Jordan III i've seen hands down.
October 5th, 2010 at 11:53 pm

October 5th, 2010 at 11:53 pm

October 6th, 2010 at 12:10 am

October 6th, 2010 at 12:10 am
Would have to see it in person
October 6th, 2010 at 12:16 am
again jb. this sucks.. smh
October 6th, 2010 at 12:17 am
JB? You do know a child suffering from a severe disease designed these, right?
October 6th, 2010 at 12:29 am
uz a idiot sneakedup…get ur info straight before u start hatin..
October 6th, 2010 at 12:29 am
It's alright. Not tooo bad nor too good. There's too much red.
October 6th, 2010 at 12:33 am
i meant money g
October 6th, 2010 at 12:34 am
don't hate for this please, cause i've only been in the sneakergame for about 9 months now. Are Doernbecher's GR?
Thanks in advance.
October 6th, 2010 at 12:34 am
Let'em breath a little, there seem's to be a lot of comotion over 2 pic's. They look dope SO FAR to me anyway and I'd prolly copp if I could – just sayin..
October 6th, 2010 at 12:34 am
will these be releasing on nike.com?
October 6th, 2010 at 12:43 am
Decent colorway. Not really feeling the silver on the midsole.
October 6th, 2010 at 12:47 am
word! some Kmart basketball shoe
October 6th, 2010 at 12:47 am
I agree, either turn some of that red into either black or dark grey or a combo of both the nthese would be alot more appealing to me…. Just my opinion. someone photoshop please
October 6th, 2010 at 12:48 am
That's the beauty with the Doernbecher Freestyle…the shoes aren't meant to look conventional with simple colorways. I personally think they're great and the silver midsole and translucent outsole is definitely something new to the AJ3.
October 6th, 2010 at 12:49 am
hahah
October 6th, 2010 at 12:49 am
Everyone is hating on these shoes when they have only released one picture of them. You know for a fact that all the DBs have mad detail attached to the shoe inside and out. Personally i love all the 3s, these will be an easy cop JB could have gone without the icey sole but ill live, great cause as well!
October 6th, 2010 at 12:52 am
fuckin whack, but all you hypebeast like them so i might cop 2 pairs to sell. Thats the benifiets for working at Nike BITC***S!!! 40% off holllllaaaaaaa
October 6th, 2010 at 1:05 am
The color blocking isn't executed as well as it could be but these are definately worth coppin 2 pairs
October 6th, 2010 at 1:17 am
so these come out october 9th ?? whos going to have them
October 6th, 2010 at 1:21 am
Yea, you need that 40% OFF making that minimum wage at Nike… lame ass
October 6th, 2010 at 1:21 am
Nope, from I'm aware of they are only released at Niketowns, House of Hoops, and Nike.com
October 6th, 2010 at 1:24 am
and near minimum wage? lol must be some good "benifiets"
October 6th, 2010 at 1:27 am
The kid that designed these did a great job! Can't wait to see the explanation of all the details..
October 6th, 2010 at 1:29 am
November 2010 release.
October 6th, 2010 at 1:59 am
true blues and white cement are equal 1st
October 6th, 2010 at 1:59 am
man i'm surprised…… if a kid did this colorblocking actually this isn't bad at all. it looks sorta like a super luxury version of a jordan iii. like a ferrari quality take on a jordan 3 model. i'm gonna say thumbs up to this and i may cop
October 6th, 2010 at 2:02 am
nope Black cement officially the best
October 6th, 2010 at 2:50 am
Can't wait for the release!
October 6th, 2010 at 3:57 am
man i know this is for charity but come on, they could try working on making a more classic less colorful shoe
October 6th, 2010 at 4:25 am
i want to see more pics of these
October 6th, 2010 at 4:33 am
Dude what the F#ck! these are fire as the red cross print.. Although I might have paint the elephant print.. none the less im copping..
October 6th, 2010 at 5:56 am
As long as the paint don't crack it's alright.
October 6th, 2010 at 6:13 am
these are hot…….NOT!
October 6th, 2010 at 6:24 am
i like the colors used but why the checkers board it screams king me!!!!!!!!!!!!
sole is icey!!!!!!!!!
October 6th, 2010 at 6:30 am
truly ugly
October 6th, 2010 at 6:41 am
True True….Okay The 2nd Best Jordan III's
October 6th, 2010 at 8:32 am
We can feel for the kid, but not like his design. Everyone has their own opinion for a reason. That's why they put this stuff up for discussion. Personally, I haven't liked one pair of the Doernbecher J's yet, but again that's my opinion.
October 6th, 2010 at 9:05 am
These are DISGUSTING. They look like those JB Classic AJ III rip-offs from the 2000s. Rather watch an AIDS couple copulate
October 6th, 2010 at 9:40 am
i agree about the elephant print. it shouldve been like silver since thats the mid sole color. but these are fresh outta the grease tho. really loving the clear sole too. officially COPPED
October 6th, 2010 at 9:41 am
People really don't want to dis them because a little kid design them, but he can have them shits I don't want them.
October 6th, 2010 at 10:43 am
They probably are but they are gonna go fast as hell.
October 6th, 2010 at 11:39 am
I agree 100% bro … and to anyone hatin' on the look of the shoe, remember it was designed by a child. It's not just about the shoe – and that's why I'm coppin'!
October 6th, 2010 at 11:39 am
i agree
October 6th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
3rd that.
October 6th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
^lmao^
October 6th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Like the colorway and FRE$H. I would cop, since it's helping out children.
October 6th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
As l look at all these comments, every person that says "i dnt like these" gets a thumbs dwn. Why? People are entitled to their own opinion. With that being said I'm not a fan of these. Shouts out to the kid that designed em but they're not as nearly nice as the previous from the last 3yrs (II, I and VI's)
October 6th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Well on feet these will be an absolute GO but best 3 ever this is not n as a shoe Ive seen better so I will say Im dissapointed but they are not trash
October 6th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
lol for the toast part im stealing this .. never put toast in the oven, but he make it sound niceeee
October 6th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
true red lol
i like em coppin
October 6th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
I love the 3's and I love the fact that this shoe is for a charity. And which a kid got the opportunity to design this shoe its a thumbs up to the fullest. And my prayers go out him and his family. Hope your doing well kid! But with all respect there OK but WONT copp.
October 6th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
lol at the thumbs dwn…gotta be some kids
October 6th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
…try again.
October 6th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
SO SAD !!! when children are making better colorways then the people at JB. Really nice shoes. Must have of the year!!!
Whats the retail gonna be for these? 150$??
October 6th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
if i was to glance at these on someone's feet i'd think they were jumpmans
October 6th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
lmfaooooo hahahahaha
October 6th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Black cement 3's all the way
October 6th, 2010 at 4:56 pm

Hype-kills.com

October 7th, 2010 at 5:25 am
Haven't figured that out yet.. I might change my mind when i see them in person, but for now it looks like too much red for me..
October 7th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Not the Translucent Sole.. That was first featured on a pair of White and BLack samples a few years ago..
October 7th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
But it never released. So again, new to the Air Jordan III.
October 7th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
AM i missing something because these are very very very ugly
October 8th, 2010 at 3:13 am
solid, solid… because i just would like to know how you would go about painting it like the process of painting it. Because I would like to paint some of my shoes, but I do not want to fxck them up..
Pointers would be very helpful.
October 8th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Lmao. I Agree.
October 11th, 2010 at 7:21 pm

October 12th, 2010 at 8:53 am
