Nike Brings Back the Air Foamposite Doernbecher

Elijah Diggins’ from 2013 remains one of the most revered releases ever from Nike’s ongoing program. Now, to mark the initiative’s , the fiery Foam is back!

Rocking a ‘Challenge Red’ upper inspired by Diggins’ Burkitt leukemia condition, and his favourite basketball team, the sneaker is elevated with a special sockliner emblazoned with a special silver bracelet graphic — a gift given to Elijah the day he was diagnosed with blood cancer. His signature dons the hangtag, while a playful emblem dresses the heel to cap things off.

Six years on, Elijah has successfully beaten the disease and is at college studying science and playing baseball.

Cop his Doernbecher Freestyle when it hits Nike SNKRS at 10AM ET.
