The very limited and much coveted Air Jordan 7 "Doernbecher" will be releasing on Saturday, December 17th. The shoe will retail for $190 and will release at select Nike/Jordan Brand retailers at 10 a.m. EST.
Only two online retailers will be releasing the shoe on Saturday morning. Expect these to be a super hard cop, but we got you covered with the early links to give you the best chance at buying the shoe.
As you know, Nike and the Doernbecher Children's Hospital team up every year to release a collection of sneakers designed by the kids at the hospital.
Here's a quick story of this release, which was designed by 10-year-old Damien Phillips:
It isn’t easy to live with a severe bleeding disorder — but Damien Phillips isn’t about to let his diagnosis of hemophilia stop him. This tenacious kid even learned to administer his own infusions, which earned him the Big Stick Award at hemophilia camp. “Once you can stick yourself with a needle, you get the award,” he said. “It’s literally a big stick!” Damien has a multidisciplinary team at Doernbecher to help out if he needs it, but he has truly taken ownership of managing his condition. That gives him more time to focus on the stuff he really loves, like playing basketball and jamming on his guitar. (He can play a mean Smoke on the Water.)Proceeds of the shoe help benefit the Doernbecher Hospital. It's a sneaker with great meaning and for a great cause.
Good luck to those who are looking to cop this special shoe!
