Nike's annual Doernbecher Freestyle collection is one of the true highlights of the sneaker calendar. Every year, a group of youngsters is chosen from the Doernbecher Children's Hospital to make their mark on a pair of Nikes. The designs that some of these children come up with are truly remarkable and often some of the most sought-after sneakers ever to be released. During the 2023 campaign, a kid named Jaren put a bright orange twist on a Nike Vomero 5, and now that shoe is being talked about as the front runner as the mythical Sneaker of The Year.
This week @brandon1an took to Twitter to share early images of a pair from the upcoming collection. The imagery showed a Nike Dunk High decorated in a pastel pink floral design. Premium white leather is used on the medial and toe boxes, while the flowery print-coated canvas makes up the foxing and tips. Pale pink suede is due on the eye stays and swoosh while a chocolate chip cookie adorns the tongue tag.
The forthcoming Doernbecher collection is said to feature six new sneaker designs from six fantastic youngsters, including the Nike Dunk Highs. The collection could come as soon as November and will be available exclusively via the SNKRS App. Tap in with our Twitter and Instagram for all the sneaker release updates.
