Continue reading for an in depth look at the beautiful, glow in the dark Air Jordan V "Doernbecher" crafted in memory of Isaac Arzate and watch for the sneakers to release on Saturday, September 14th ahead of the rest of this year’s Doernbecher Freestyle collection.
After recovering from open-heart surgery, Isaac was invited by OHSU Doernbecher to be part of the 2012 Freestyle program. During his rehabilitation from surgery, he began sketching designs for an Air Jordan V Retro, highlighting his interests and experiences. He also became well enough to don his jersey and watch his basketball team from the bleachers, occasionally getting to shoot around during breaks in the game. Then in April 2012, 12-year-old Isaac tragically suffered a second heart attack, and did not survive.”
With help from his family, the Air Jordan 5 “Doernbecher” completes the design that Isaac was working on by using his original sketches and others that his parents had found. The shoe is detailed in dedication to Isaac, showcasing his #9 baseball jersey number and #31 basketball jersey number. His initials, date of birth and date of passing tag the tongue lining, while glow-in-the-dark details highlight the silo. Words from a poem Isaac wrote just a day before he passed grace the upper, amplified by black light ink. Lastly, each pair comes with a flashlight to celebrate Isaac’s love of video games.
Air Jordans 5 were an instant hit thanks to a high flying rookie as well as one of the best marketing campaigns put together by Weiden and Kennedy. Jordan shoes have been the top selling signature basketball shoe that Nike has ever produced.? In addition to the signature Air Jordans, Jordan Brand has a major presence in the basketball and lifestyle market. Despite the fact that Michael Jordan retired from basketball in 2003 (for the 3rd time) Air Jordans are still the top selling models for many sneaker retailers. The legacy of Michael Jordan lives on with the release of new Jordans each year and re-releasing retro Air Jordans 2014.
