Nike and the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital have teamed up for almost 2 decades and have raised over $30 million dollars for the hospital by auctioning off sneakers designed by former patients. The tradition continues after being postponed last year due to COVID-19 and on February 25th, Nike and the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital unveiled the seven sneakers that were designed by former patients that went up for auction and will see a SNKRS release in the coming weeks.
The 2022 Nike Doernbecher Freestyle Collection is set to drop via SNKRS on April 30th with prices of each respective sneaker ranging from $85 to $200. Check out the links to each sneaker below.
