Just days after reporting the first of the Nike Doernbecher Freestyle collection, we get a look at the rest of the models. As noted before, Nike and the Jordan Brand began teaming up with the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital just last year.
They presented a variety of sneakers designed by patients with the proceeds of the sales going toward the hospital. The Air Jordan 1 “Mr. Bobber” designed by Tony Taylor Jr. was posted a few days, the whole collection can be seen above. The Doernbecher Freestyle 2008 Collection will be available exclusively at Niketown and Nike.com on November 14th.
