Nike and the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Doernbecher Children’s Hospital have been working together for 20 years, inviting patients to design sneakers with Nike volunteers. The beloved program has raised over $40 million USD to date and has featured 122 patient-designers in the process. The duo just presented its 20th collection last month, leading to a record-high sale of $77,500 USD for Connor Kassing Fernández's Air Max DN design.
In continuation of the program, the duo not only hosted a special auction of a unique Air Jordan 20 "Doernbecher Freestyle," but they have now launched a silent auction featuring over 50 sneakers from the two decades of releases. Sneakers include fan favorites like the LeBron 13 by Kian Safholm (pictured above), the Air Jordan 15 by Donovon Dinneen and last year's Zoom Vomero 5 by Jaren Heacock. In addition to the shoes up for grabs, the special Doernbecher Freestyle 20th Anniversary T-Shirt that was included with the aforementioned AJ20 auction is available at a buy it now price of $40 USD in limited quantities.
The silent auction is open now via Classy and will run until Monday, November 18 at 1pm EST. Note that items have reserve values, shipping and handling fees, as well as buy it now prices.
