NIKE x DOERNBECHER MAKAYLA SKINNY DUNK & BRADLEY AF1 AVAILABLE NOW!!!



These are 2 amazing sneakers designed by 2 amazing kids battling disease at The Doernbecher Children’s Hospital! Makayla Hansen designed these bright & colorful Skinny Dunk Hi's in a basketball theme using blue instead of the usual orange skin. Makayla has been diagnosed with Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the liver, heart & other systems of the body which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

Bradley Bowlby just recently recovered from his fourth open-heart surgery for his Congenital Heart Defect. His design on these AF1's is inspired from him being a self-proclaimed "mud lover chef"! With a nubuck "mud" colorway on the toebox, lacing, & frontal upper, and pics of his other favorite subjects like dogs & bmx bikes patterned along the rest of the shoes you get a camouflage feel.

Both pairs are a definate collectible for a worthy cause! Available at NIKETOWN & THE NIKE STORE, proceeds from each sale will go towards the Doernbecher Foundation to help other children at the hospital.

Hmm, nice to see a collaboration with more behind it than just the collective pooling of so-called 'street cred'.
