Air Jordan 1 Hi Doernbecher Freestyle “Mr.Boober”
Posted by vulkan | Sep 21, 2008 Doernbecher Children’s Hospital has been working with Nike every year to help raise money to fund research and basic operations. Every year as you all know five shoes from the Doernbacher series drop and the money from those sales are contributed to the hospital. These were designed by Tony Taylor Jr., nicknamed Mr. Boober, who battled Nephrotic Syndrome and underwent a successful kidney transplant at the hospital.
Jayson Mayden and Estelle Maranan guided Tony with his vision of the project and the inspirations took inspiration from the very experiences of his life. These are the second Air Jordans to be part of the Doernbecher Freestyle project. Last year we saw the Doernbecher Air Jordan 2. This shoe will release November 14th along with four other Doernbecher children designed shoes. Thanks to SoleCollector for the pictures and story. |

Sep 22, 2008 at 6:07 am
shoes
Sep 22, 2008 at 5:27 am
Jb is making an attempt to redeem themselves for making fusions and ther doing a pretty good job!
Sep 22, 2008 at 1:40 am
yes these come out a day before the black/red hi top ones retail $125, getting a couple pair
Sep 22, 2008 at 1:34 am
the 1st pair was auction off on eBay for $12,850. and an anonymous person said they could match all da endin bid. and donated a total to beat da last Doern pair. which is $850,000. da freakin link to da full article is right there. answer to release location, release quanity, etc. why don’t u ppl juz click on it n find da info instead of askin it here. =/ no brain.
Sep 22, 2008 at 1:31 am
Yooo I him!!! he is really good kid that deserves this… Lil boop!!!!
Sep 22, 2008 at 1:12 am
looks like they borrowed pharrell’s cartoon character idea for the tongue
Sep 22, 2008 at 12:57 am
How ironic. nike helps children in need in America but will enslave the ones in Asia. I’m one to talk, I’ve been wearing nike’s since 4th grade. Anyway it’s a good cause and I’m sure they’ll sell out just like the Doernbecher II’s. Personally, I think that JB is REALLY milking the I’s but whatever. If these were dunks, they’d be hot. These kinds of crazy colorways don’t look good on Jordan I’s though.
Sep 22, 2008 at 12:52 am
Where online ??? i have to get a pair, Last year the 2′ws drop and I hunted that shoe across town.
Sep 22, 2008 at 12:48 am
DOPE….. i hope dey arent more dan 200 tho kuz da 15/8 package comes out around dat time too. cant thro around cash lik dat. got bills to pay lol
Sep 21, 2008 at 11:08 pm
^^most likely they will…if not then im screwed…
Sep 21, 2008 at 10:39 pm
will th3ze b3 releasing at niketown storez like the charity 2??
Sep 21, 2008 at 10:28 pm
WOW! IM DONE I HAVE NOTHIN ELSE TOO SAY
Sep 21, 2008 at 10:27 pm
to jon,
THEN WHY DIDN’T HE JUST SAY THAT…???
Sep 21, 2008 at 10:18 pm
yoo des 1’s is harddd…they have the same kinda concept as the white melvins..but these is crackk thoo!!
Sep 21, 2008 at 10:02 pm
^^you read wrong.
he was sayin these should realease BUT they should be easily attainable AND available to the public.
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:58 pm
i like these shoes..and they are for a good cause too…a good deal
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:45 pm
#38,
AM I READING THAT COMMENT WRONG, IT SAYS HE WISHES THERE WERE MORE RELEASES LIKE THAT, EXCEPT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC???
HOW CAN THEY BE EASILY ATTAINABLE IF THE EXCEPTION IS PUBLIC AVAILABILITY? DUDE, I GOING NUTS ON THIS ONE…!
SO, YOU DON’T WANT THEM AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, WOULDN’T THAT MAKE THEM DIFFICULT TO ATTAIN…?
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:42 pm
cool concept…shoes are all ova the place but its for a good cause…n i like the lil bape guy on the tounge…
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:34 pm
another doernbecher kid created a hypebeast -_-
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:30 pm
QUESTION KOJAK,
IF YOU DON’T WANT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, HOW CAN THEY BE EASILY ATTAINABLE???
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:28 pm
no jumpman on the back!
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Really beautiful…I wish JB would have releases like this all the time, except available to the public and easily attainable…
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:11 pm
these r pretty sick
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:11 pm
THESE ARE ONE OF A KIND, RIGHT? OR LIMITED TO HOW MANY PAIRS? MR. BOOBER HAS THE “ONE” PAIR THAT’S EXCLUSIVELY FOR HIM, THAT’S GOTTA BE WORTH A PRETTY PENNY. BUT THE GENERAL RELEASE PAIRS, THAT’S WHAT I’M AFRAID OF… THE PRICE COULD BE OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH…!
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Just looking at that box tells me that these will be well over 2000…
Sep 21, 2008 at 9:03 pm
From the looks of it, these will likely be auctioned for charity, which means they’ll probably end up going for $1000-$3000+
These are the best looking AJ1’s that I’ve seen in a while tho.. they easily trump both the recent Olympic 1’s and the Countdown Pack Hi Tops.
Sep 21, 2008 at 8:51 pm
When are these suppose to drop?? and for how much??
Sep 21, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I love how all of the decent retroes that JB makes we can’t get.
Ah, no I don’t. D:
Sep 21, 2008 at 8:36 pm
these r sooo dope. ill be these if they r like 100-110-$ but anything higher i might pass. good job jb tho. i like to see them giving back to the community,
Sep 21, 2008 at 8:32 pm
dang he do got a biiiig head… haha.
Sep 21, 2008 at 8:03 pm
hey these shoes are sick to death now im not sure if i should cop these or the retro olympics from ebay but im wondering whats on the back of these shoes they look like stars…? help me out
Sep 21, 2008 at 8:01 pm
DARN, DID NIKE EVEN MAKE A HI-CUT BANNED VERSION?
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:59 pm
to fresh.
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I LIKE THESE TOO, BUT IF THEY COST LIKE $500.00, WOULD ANYONE REALLY GET THEM STILL? OR SPEND THAT AMOUNT TO BUY THE “BANNED” ONES…?
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:53 pm
deff a mus cop im gettin these ASAP
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Ya’ll aint givin due credit to Mr. Boober. Propers to the kid, im coppin fasho.
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:50 pm
I say these are by far the best looking custom 1s I’ve seen in my opinion…I dont care what anybody say
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:36 pm
i hate the whoring of the 1’s but these are absolutely ridiculous. helluva job doernbecher and jb
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:30 pm
pup is gotta be the same idiot who said why was the plane crash article here on nicekicks, because it had nothing to do with shoes…! STUPID STUPID STUPID, I HATE PPL WHO SAY STUPID THINGS, THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE…!!!
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Honestly, I don’t like them, but they’re for a good cause, which is a more than good reason to buy them.
Sep 21, 2008 at 7:25 pm
