One could view the underlying message behind the Nike x Doernbecher Freestyle as “Look beyond the surface and see what’s underneath”. The six children chosen for this year’s Doernbecher Freestyle not only stared down the face of their obstacles, but conveyed their messages proudly in their sneakers; Daniel Blair, the designer behind the Air Max 95, says he’s “Just like everyone else.”, while Warang McManus defiantly turns her back on her disease and proudly states “Twice survived”. Like any piece of treasured art hanging in a museum, each of the hand-selected colorways and details of the Nike x Doernbecher Freestyle VIII tells a personal tale; what makes the six sneakers shown here particularly special is that they all tell one of triumph and victory. Continue reading for a detailed look at all six installments of the Nike x Doernbecher Freestyle 2011 and let us know which of these ‘stories’ resonates with you, and look out for a release of the collection starting on November 5th.
Never really liked am95s but these might have to be my first pair...and the 4s are so ugly its kind of beautiful if it makes sense. I wouldn't wear em but they'd definitely be a collectors item..
I'm copping those 4's, I like em and plus they for a good cause.
the am95 looks like a manny pacquiao colorway
Be Brave and wear those ugly 4's
The swirl on the Nike Shox's tongue reminds me of the Sega Dreamcast symbol.
How can I get the 95's now??? I will pay whatever
$1,000 for a pre-order. I got you. Or just wait till the official release date of November 5th.
LMAOOOOO a stack is a bit much my dude. I will def. pre order but not for that price. I will be waiting for the release date if I cant find them on e bay early
It was a joke.
the 95s are really the best of the collection for this year.
Agreed. One of the best new AM95s in recent memory.
Man, I'm feelin' everything about those 95s.
where can we buy em?
Already got my IVs en route to the crib. The 95s are pretty dope too
#AIRJORDANRETRO4DB BY ISIAH IS SOOO DOPE....THOSE #AIRMAX95 ARE LOOKING INSANE..ALL THESE KID DESIGNERS ARE #WITDABIZZNEZZ..PROPZ 2 ALL OF THEM..FOR ALL THEY HAVE OVERCOME..
this isn't twitter kid. Even if it was, caps lock is not needed, but still, mad respect for all those kids. I can't even begin to fathom what they have gone through.
The 95's message on the sole. (y) Love it
Those Air Max 95's are going to be in my closet. They are real nice...Those IV's are cool too especially for a kid but too childish for a grown man. IMO.
Even though those IV's are clown, respect for the kids.
wow....im not even gonna lie...this touchs me...
the JD 4 is disgusting
95's!
let me get those airmax 95they kinda remind me of the wonder woman reebok though but still nice
i want the air max 95s sooooo bad!
all those words are some inspirational stuff man...ive worked with a few children who have had cancer or have it and man I dont even think im stong enough to do what they do....
Survived non hodgkin's lymphoma in 2003! (not as a child and I cannot imagine how a child would "live" with cancer unlike an adult) Changed my life forever, that is the reason while I copp these retros(my childhood).........I do not take my days for granted........... It changed how I feel about people and animals, kinda weird huh,...................... but I thank God, cancer changed my life for the better as a person.......
i like the 4 and the 95s but they didnt do the air force 1s this year
