Nike and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital have a joint effort to raise money for the hospital’s research and operations on needy children. Nike designs shoes in the Doernbecher series for this project. The money collected from the sales of the Doernbecher series is donated to the hospital.This series’ designer is Tony Taylor Jr., who has a nickname when he is mentioned on the shoe. Nis nickname is Mr. Boober. Tony Taylor is reported as a former patient of Nephrotic Syndrome and a kidney transplant patient.

Besides Tony Taylor, two other designers, Jayson Mayden and Estelle Maranan also helped in this project. Taylor used his personal experiences to design the shoes. The entire Nike-Doernbecher collection of 5 shoes will be released on November 14.

The shoe has a background of the night sky in various shades, ranging from black to blue. Tall trees are in the landscape, with outlines of grass and other objects in the foreground. The Air Jordan tag is in a depression at the ankle of the shoe. There is a keychain tag with the names of the healthcare people who had taken care of the patient. The tag at the tip of the tongue has the cartoon graphic of Mr. Boober.
