Sneaker Spotlight: Air Jordan and Doernbecher Freestyle Collection

Since 2003 Nike and the OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital have teamed up to create special footwear designed by who have battled serious illness to create shoes that reflect their unique personalities and experiences. Commemorating 10 years for the Freestyle Collection, the first sneaker that will be released in 2013 will be a brand new Air Jordan 5 inspired by a brave, young man who passed. In the beginning of the collection the sneakers chosen were only part of the Nike catalog, but the past 7 years have seen a numbered Air Jordon as part of the project. We look back at the previous 6 special edition J’s which consisted of the Air Jordan 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9. With the AJ5 releasing we can only guess that the AJ7 will be chosen next year. Which Air Jordan “Doernbecher” is your favorite?

Sneaker Spotlight: Air Jordan 3 Black/Cement

This weekend one of the greatest sneakers of all time will be returning as a retro. The Air Jordan 3 is nothing short of legendary amongst sneaker enthusiasts but became that way because of the way it became popular with a bigger audience than just #sneakerholics. It was the Nike Air Jordan 3 that reached people from all types of backgrounds and helped start the growth in popularity of sneakers and essentially the sneaker community, as we know it today.

Sneaker Spotlight: Air Jordan 3 True Blue

This week the sneaker community is currently buzzing in anticipation of the return of one of the most unforgettable and highly regarded shoes of all time, the Air Jordan 3 True Blue Retro.

The Air Jordan 3 originally released in 1988 and became an instant classic thanks to the creative thinking of designer Tinker Hatfield. It is said that Michael Jordan was on the verge of leaving Nike before seeing the design of the Air Jordan 3, but when the outside of the box design was revealed to him, with the now famous Jumpman logo on the tongue, Elephant Print design and smooth, Swoosh-less side panels, he realized that that Nike was the brand that would help take his signature sneakers to the next level.
