The Doernbecher Freestyle has given many the opportunity of a lifetime: to create their very own pair of sneakers. And alongside the team at Nike, these young, aspiring designers have translated their experience and hardships into a tangible, heartfelt colorway.
Cidni O’Brien, one of this year’s lucky individuals, suffered from a pain in her chest when she was playing soccer back in 2018. She was then diagnosed with anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery; this meant her heart wasn’t receiving the necessary amount of oxygen, causing extremely poor cardiac function. Thankfully, O’Brien bounced back in six months following one major heart surgery, and she’s now back on the field with her team, the Lebanon Warriors.
The 16-year-old’s Nike voil Air Force 1 07 Weiß 36 is dedicated to her teammates and the animals she holds dear.. Across the laces, the names of her goats, parrot, donkey, cheap, dog, and fish are proudly displayed, while O’Brien’s horse, Tank, receives a special VaporMax across the left sockliner. Nikki, the young athlete’s mother, is celebrated along the right, and O’Brien comments that “[she] wouldn’t be here without her.” What’s more, if you flip the shoe to its outsole, you’ll find a graphic of shrimp pasta, a nod to O’Brien’s favorite Sneaker.
Enjoy an official look at the Nike voil Air Force 1 07 Weiß 36 “Doernbecher” below. You can expect a retail release later this Spring.
