Jordan 5 Retro Doernbecher

The Jordan 5 Retro Doernbecher is a special edition of the Jordan 5 released as part of the Doernbecher Freestyle Collection, featuring sneakers designed by young patients of the Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The shoe has a predominantly black upper made from patent leather and features tonal lettering that can be seen under a black light. It retains most of the signature design elements of the AJ 5, including the mesh paneling on the sides and shark teeth detailing on the midsole. It also has a padded collar for ankle support and a visible air unit to provide cushioning. Our experts especially love the tonal lettering all over the upper, which is a poem written by the late Isaac Azarte, the young patient behind the incredible design of the shoe. The shoe also has Isaac’s initials, birthdate, and jersey numbers as a special tribute. The Jordan 5 Retro Doernbecher was released on 14th September 2013, retailing at $180.
