XII FOR 12
DOERNBECHER FREESTYLE
To celebrate the 12th year of the Nike and OHSU Doernbecher Freestyle program, and kickoff a countdown to the 2015 retail release on November 21, Nike is donating a dozen exclusive Air Jordan XIIs to OHSU Doernbecher Children’s hospital. Designed by Mark Smith, each of the one-of-a-kind sneakers features Smith’s personal application of original Tinker Hatfield sketches. Each one-of-one will be presented in a box printed with Tinker’s initial design elements and individually autographed by both Mark and Tinker.
Born in 1996, the Air Jordan XII was the first Air Jordan model to incorporate Nike Zoom Air cushioning. The brain behind the design, Tinker Hatfield, brought the innovative cushioning together with a luxurious take on basketball footwear. His Airness rocked the Air Jordan XII as he captured his fifth career title.
The hospital will auction the special-edition shoes via a series of sales. Bidding for the first pair begins on October 23, as part of the annual OHSU Doernbecher Collection reveal and auction. Starting October 24, the remaining 11 pairs will be auctioned by OHSU Doernbecher on eBay.
All auction proceeds from the #DBDozen will benefit OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
