In 2009, the Air Jordan VI was selected as the Air Jordan model for the Doernbecher Freestyle Collection, and what followed that late 2009 release was a slew of Air Jordan VI releases from January to June. Then in 2010, the Air Jordan III was selected for the Doernbecher Freestyle VII, and was released in late December – a release that preceded a number of Air Jordan III drops in 2011. If that is indeed a growing trend, then the news of the Air Jordan IV being included in the next Doernbecher Freestyle Collection makes all the more sense, since the Air Jordan IV White/Cement was confirmed for 2012 (as should other Air Jordan IV releases, considered it is in fact the 23rd Anniversary of the Air Jordan IV).
The Air Jordan III Doernbecher was a standout because it actually kept close to the trademark Chicago Bulls colorway. Keep in mind that these sneakers are designed by children with creative imaginations, going by their own instincts and now what’s ‘expected’ of an Air Jordan shoe. What hasn’t been confirmed is who the lucky young designer is, but what we can expect is the Air Jordan IV Doernbecher to release this Holiday 2011 season. Continue reading for a look at all the past Air Jordan Doernbecher designs and let us know what design/colorway you’d like to see on the Air Jordan IV. via TSG.

yes!!! the 4 is my favorite model, cant wait to find out what these look like! and get excited cuz 2012 is the year of the 4!!!
June 14th, 2011 at 3:35 pm
Well so if 2012 is the end of the of the world, please bury with the 4s (white cement & doernbecher).
June 14th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
So far 50% of the shoes have been amazing to me (3 and 6) well see about the 4… Definitely excited
June 14th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
oh damn. im excited and hope the trend is true
June 14th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
shit
June 14th, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Thank the lord! I missed all the other Dorenbacher's due to lack of $$$ but now I could grab onto the 4's as long as they're designed fairly well like the others.
June 14th, 2011 at 3:45 pm
Cant wait to see final design
June 14th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
Yes I love it this will probably be the first doernbecher I purchase. And please tell me this does mean year of the 4 cause 4s are a favorite
June 14th, 2011 at 3:47 pm
i think the air jordan 5 should be in line after the 4. hence thhe: db1, db2, db3, db4, ???, and db6. just my opinion
p.s. they should resemble or be grapes
June 14th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Doernbecher 4s!! JB keep um comin.

Best of luck to the lucky young designer, and I know he or she is going to make us wanna buy it haha. (Just a curious thought, I wonder what the next AF1 "Doernbecher" will look like? Or will it be a Mid? High?)
June 14th, 2011 at 4:02 pm
cant wait to see what it looks like, go little creators!!
June 14th, 2011 at 4:02 pm
I have something in mind GRAPE cw with laser print….
June 14th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
can't wait till the pics come out
June 14th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
a must have boiiiiii
June 14th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
This is gonna be one to look forward to. As long as the colorway/design of the shoe is executed well. I'm sure Jordan execs have some say in the final product, so hopefully it will be on the same level of the past couple Doernbecher releases….
June 14th, 2011 at 4:09 pm
"they should resemble or be grapes"? wtf if they were grapes then they wouldn't be part of the db collection.
June 14th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Lmao Maybe JB Thinks The worlds Gonna End In 2012 Cause So Far Theres Alot Of Heat Coming Out
June 14th, 2011 at 4:16 pm
except 3 and 6s
June 14th, 2011 at 4:29 pm
i hope they are nothing like the 1s and 2s in my opinion those two are horrible, the 3s and the 6s are ill so i hope the 4s are done in a mild color way and not some crazy lookin fake shit
June 14th, 2011 at 4:53 pm
those 3s look like clown shoes the ones would of been ill iif they were leather and had a gum sole those 2s smh make me want 2 puke only the 6s r wearable not even that nice really hopefully the 4s r nice
June 14th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
All four of those look Insane Extremely Awesome!
June 14th, 2011 at 5:02 pm

June 14th, 2011 at 5:06 pm

June 14th, 2011 at 5:11 pm

June 14th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Yea boiy can't wait to see finish shoe
June 14th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
These 4's are gonna be hard anyway they design it
June 14th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
i saw these coming!
June 14th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Damn i was hoping they were going to use the 5's…but the 4's are straight
June 14th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
you don't even know the colorway yet you hype
June 14th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
Another Hyperstrike that most of us will miss out on. JB doesn't know shit about supply and demand. Seems like they'd made more of the DB shoes since they're going toward a good cause, but hey who gives a shit right JB?
t(o_ot) Monsta? Monsta?
June 15th, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Damn… I need to revise my list of shoes to cop this year. Wanted a pair of one of the Pro Foams coming out, but those may get bumped for these and the wht/cement 4's.
June 15th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
thank god your not the designer
June 15th, 2011 at 9:22 pm
My thoughts exactly. Can't wait!!!
June 15th, 2011 at 9:24 pm
Doesn't matter for me. The DB4 is a MUST have no matter what the colorway. 4's = GOAT. Not everyone is a hypebeast.
June 15th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
i heard you like sweaty bean bags^
June 16th, 2011 at 12:08 am
cant forget the 10s tho chicagos, steels, and varsity red
June 17th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
are these a online exclusive or will certain shoe spots get these ??
June 18th, 2011 at 4:52 pm
Word to mutha, I got a fag stalking my posts? Well thank ya, thank ya.. Where would all the "live" niggas be if not for haters such as ya self. A special shout out to ya moms for not swallowing you that day.. without that funky ho, none of the laughter generated from your hate would be possible.
Here's Lookin at you bitch
June 18th, 2011 at 11:46 pm
Def gotta see what they look like first, but if they are a heat colorway then get ready to campout or get REAL lucky online at Nike.com because if not your gonna pay hypebeast prices. Hence look at what DB's are going for now, South Beaches, etc…
September 1st, 2011 at 9:52 am
do these get released in north america?
