[Update 21 Oct 2024] The Nike Doernbecher Freestyle 20 Collection showcases six young designers’ unique takes on iconic Nike sneakers. These limited-edition shoes will be auctioned off, with all proceeds supporting the OHSU Foundation.

Each pair reflects the designer’s personal journey and comes in a custom split-box. To celebrate the 20th anniversary, a limited run of unreleased Nike Air Jordan 20 “Doernbecher” sneakers will also be auctioned. These sneakers feature intricate laser graphics commemorating the program.

[Update 14 Jun 2024] The Nike Doernbecher Freestyle 20 collection will be displayed at the Portland Art Museum on 18 October 2024, with a live auction thereafter. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

The collection will include six shoes: the Nike Air Jordan 6 DB, the Nike Air Max Dn DB in two colorways, the Nike WMNS Air Max SNDR DB, the Nike Air 180 DB, and the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 DB. A wider release via Nike.com is expected for Holiday 2024.

The iconic Nike Doernbecher Freestyle program makes a triumphant return in 2024, marking two decades of collaboration and charitable impact. This year’s collection features unique sneakers designed by the brave and creative patients of OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Each shoe embodies the inspiring stories and artistic vision of these young designers.

Nike’s partnership with Doernbecher goes beyond creating exceptional footwear. It raises awareness and critical funds for the hospital’s essential programs. By the end of 2023, the Doernbecher Freestyle program had generated over US$37 million for the hospital.

With the latest collection featuring coveted styles like the Nike Air Jordan 6, this year promises to push that number past the US$40 million mark. The collection also includes the Nike Air Max Dn (available in two colorways), a Nike WMNS Air Max SNDR, the Nike Air 180, and the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41.

The Nike Doernbecher Freestyle XX Collection launches during Holiday 2024. It will be available at a special fundraiser event in Portland, Oregon, and on Nike.com. All proceeds benefit Doernbecher Children’s Hospital through the Oregon Health Sciences University Foundation.
