Doernbecher Jordan 13s

by Brendan Dunne

A youngster confronts a debilitating disease on this, the Air Jordan 13 Doernbecher designed by 11-year-old John Charles.

The sneaker, a charitable one from this year's Nike Doernbecher collection, pays tribute to his fight against Crohn's disease by placing the word "Crohn's" on the sole, allowing John to literally stomp it out with every step he takes in the sneakers. Other personal details include the "CHICKEN AND JO-JOS" aglets referencing his favorite food and a shoutout for his twin brother Jonah on the sockliner.

Watch for the "Doernbecher" Jordan 13s to release on Nov. 21 for $225 at Nike, Villa and Shoe Palace locations.
