The Nike Air Huarache Ultra is featured as part of the Doernbecher Collection. This Nike Air Huarache Ultra was designed by 10 year old Braylin Soon.
Braylin is an aspiring actress. She is also the recipient of a liver transplant, a procedure that was needed to replace the one that failed due to autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is inflammation in the liver that occurs when the immune system attacks the liver.
Braylin’s design pays homage to one of her favorite characters, Kermit the Frog. She does this by covering the entire base of the Huarache Ultra in bright Green. Contrasting teal hits appear on the branding and heel cage. Although the upper is bold and bright, that is by no means the most noteworthy feature on the shoe. The six star cutouts placed along the cage are especially relevant because they represent her donor, a young girl who passed away at the age of six. A beautiful way to pay respects to a special little girl in her life.
Matching apparel also releases at the same time. A hoodie and pants feature the Nike logo with the word “Brave” appearing above the swoosh on both the pants, and hoodie. The six stars are found on the sleeves of the shirt. The Nike Air Huarache Ultra Doernbecher is due to release on December 17th for $115.
