Fiends, I would like to present to you a new sneaker brand by the name of Bucketfeet Shoes. Bucketfeet Shoes sells unique and limited edition sneakers that are created by artists from around the world that aims to raise funds and awareness for children's charities. Bucketfeet's goal is to help consumers get involved in the community by contributing a portion of each sale to one of three innovative, children focused, non-profit partners. The non-profit chairites are: MAGIC a world-class stringed instrument program for kids in the Woodlawn community in the South Side of Chicago, Love.futbol a program that devotes financial resources to help build more soccer fields around the world and Children Mending Hearts a program that provides arts programs and workshops for homeless children.





Bucketfeet's motto is "Buy a Shoe, Build a community", so to help build a community and save children's lives head on down to www.bucketfeet.com to purchase one of kind designs for your feet. :)Link

Jordan 1 Doernbecher 2008

This year, 16-year-old Tony Taylor Jr. aka Mr. Boober, a Nephrotic Syndrome and a kidney transplant survivor, got the chance to design his very own Air Jordan 1 sneaker. Last year a 16-year-old design some Jordan 2. Mr. Boober's design is 1 of 4 that will release on November 14th.




The black/blue color scheme represents his success with the battle against kidney disease, while the contrasting yellow and number 15 honor his favorite player, Carmelo Anthony. Below the number 15 is the date he received his kidney transplant and below that are four stars which represent his high school’s mascot, the Generals. The palm trees along the midsole resemble the Bahamas.
