Every sneaker releasing under Nike Doernbecher Freestyle XIX collection

Nike has continued to empower and help kids annually with the release of its exclusive collaboration with the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The latest collection, dubbed Freestyle XIX (!9), features six new footwear options and apparel items. All of the collection items were designed by six kids from the hospital alongside the Swoosh label's team.

The Doernbecher Freestyle partnership between the Swoosh label and Oregon Health and Sciences University's (OHSU) Doernbecher Children's Hospital began in 2004. The collaboration, until now, has raised more than $33 million for the hospital and its patients. The latest 19th Doernbecher collection features six silhouettes, including the Air Jordan 3, Dunk High, Go FlyEase, ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low, Cortez, and Air Max 1 '86.

These sneakers are one-of-a-kind and are auctioned and sold to the bidders, with the benefits going to the hospital as a signature fundraiser. The collection features multiple intricate details, hidden messages, and more details to represent the individual child, their medical journey, and the world from their POV.

One hundred percent of the profits from the retail sales are given to the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The silhouettes are slated to be released in December.

Everything about the upcoming Nike x OHSU Doernbecher Hospital collection, which will feature six brand-new sneaker makeovers alongside apparel items

1) Garrett Amerson: Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low

The first sneaker on the list was designed by 12-year-old Garrett Amerson, who is diagnosed with extreme prematurity. The official site introduces Garrett Amerson as,

Garrett has designed the Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low sneaker, which gives a nod to the Pacific Northwest. The shoe features textured rock on the upper, along with trees, mountains, and waterfall graphics on the tongue. The blue waterfall tongue adds to the hiking aesthetic, alongside the realistic mud splatters on the midsoles.

The midsoles and outsoles feature three shades of brown to give a hiking aesthetic. The upper of the shoe is covered with translucent material, with cloudy outsoles and pine trees. The lacelet features a purple butterfly graphic on the right sock liner to give a nod to his twin brother, who lost his life in the NICU.

Hugo's Air Jordan 3 sneaker model is designed with motivational quotes at the center, including "It's OK to be different" lettering on the green transparent outsoles. The color scheme of green and blue represents Hugo's favorite football team, the Seattle Seahawks.
