Air Jordan 1 High Doernbecher Freestyle - Mr. Boober


Here we feature some detailed pictures of some custom Air Jordan 1 (I) High that have a beautiful story behind them. For the past few years, Nike and Jordan Brand have teamed up with the Doernbecher Childrens’ Hospital to release a series of charity sneakers in which proceeds would go to help funding hospital. This time around, Tony Taylor a.k.a Mr. Boober was the designer on this pair of Air Jordan 1 (I)’s. He actually fought Nephrotic Syndrome and had a successful kidney transplant.

The shoes themselves feature a beautiful black and blue gradient design, with palm trees illustrated along the side panels. 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. They are scheduled to release on November 14, 2008 alongside 4other pairs of shoes that will go to the same cause.
