Doernbecher Jordan I Makes Waves:

One of the coolest initiatives Nike has is its relationship with Oregon Health and Science University’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Since 2003, Nike has released limited pairs of all kinds of sneakers, designed by children who are patients at the hospital. The releases are typically huge successes and Nike has raised tens of millions of dollars for the hospital through the years. This year, during a virtual unveiling, Nike and Doernbecher announced their annual collaboration will be limited to just one shoe this year: Focusing exclusively on [the Jordan I](https://solecollector.com/news/what-the-air-jordan-1-high-og-doernbecher-freestlye-release-date. Limited to just 17 pairs, this Jordan I is designed in a “What The” colorway, featuring bits and pieces of Doernbecher Freestyle designs from the past. The first pair was auctioned off during the virtual event and bidding eventually surpassed two million dollars before the auction was pulled due to possible suspicious activity. The remaining pairs hit eBay.

Nike’s “Backdooring” Bloomberg Article Fallout:

An article published at Bloomberg Businessweek made the rounds within the sneaker community last week, causing a stir among sneaker purists and resellers alike. The article profiles a young man named Joe Hebert, providing a behind-the-curtain look in the life of a sneaker reseller. Late in the piece, it was revealed that the American Express card used to purchase upwards of over $100,000 in sneaker inventory bore the name of his mother, Ann Hebert. Ms. Hebert, shockingly, was revealed to be a longtime executive at Nike, where she’s worked for over 25 years. Since the article was published, Ms. Hebert resigned from her position soon after, following the ensuing backlash and questions regarding her ties to her son’s resale business. It’s a truly insane story and worth a read if you haven’t checked it out yet.

First Look at the Concepts x Kyrie VII:

Even though Kyrie Irving no longer plays for the Boston Celtics, that hasn’t stopped him from collaborating with Massachusetts’ biggest sneaker boutique, Concepts, on a new version of his latest signature shoe, the Kyrie VII. Unveiled last week, the Concepts x Kyrie VII sports a teal upper with an orange midsole, with ancient Egyptian iconography on the side panel and dual branding on the tongue. Concepts has produced some classics over the years, including a few with Kyrie, so expect these to sell out fast.

Bam Adebayo Joins Jordan Brand:

Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo became the latest athlete to join the expanding Jordan Brand roster. Over the last year, Jordan Brand has signed all kinds of stars across the sports spectrum, spanning from Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams to Washington Wizards All-Star Bradley Beal. Adebayo shined in the NBA Bubble last season, helping catapult the Heat to the NBA Finals. It’s another impressive addition to Jordan Brand’s roster of up and coming hoops stars, including the aforementioned Beal, Zion Williamson, Jayson Tatum, Caris LeVert and more.

Reebok Question Mid “Why Not Us?” Tells a Great Story:

We all know the Reebok Question as the shoe Allen Iverson wore during his show-stopping rookie season back in 1996-1997, but a lot of people don’t know that he broke out the classics once again during the 2001 All-Star Game, en route to an All-Star Game MVP Award and a come-from-behind Eastern Conference win. The 2001 All-Star Game was one of the more memorable games ever, thanks to a late fourth-quarter run spearheaded by Iverson and Stephon Marbury where the East stormed back from a late deficit to steal a victory in Washington D.C., catapulted by Iverson’s 15 fourth quarter points. Iverson wore a pair of black and white Questions for the event, which have now been dubbed the “Why Not Us?” colorway, thanks to the events of the game. It’s been a while since this pair saw the light of day but following a random overseas release, Reebok finally brought these back stateside last week. Better late than never.

Derrick Jones Jr. went crazy with this rare Rice University Kobe VI PE. Sporting a black and green look, it’s one of the few Kobe VI colorways you rarely see on the court.

Jayson Tatum broke out his “Pink Lemonade” Jordan XXXV PE last week. Paying homage to a refreshing drink with peach, pink, lemon and mint green explosive tones throughout, it also features a nod to Tatum’s son Deuce on the tongue tag.

The young legend Ja Morant sported another Kobe on court last week, this time it was the high-top Kobe IX Elites in the Gumbo League All-Star colorway.

It’s rare that we ever shout out someone on the ice for their footwear, but last week on Instagram, @716Nick showed off a custom Jordan I ice skates in the classic Chicago colorway. The skates were a product of a custom collaboration from Just Dishin and Kota Kustoms. Jordan Brand’s already reproducing some great Jordans as golf spikes, could ice skates be next?

For those who may not remember, Tracy McGrady was a problem, especially during his time with the Orlando Magic in the early-2000s. He led the league in scoring twice during his tenure, but it was during his last season in Orlando where he would set a career high against the Washington Wizards, pouring in 62 points during a game in March of 2004. McGrady was an adidas athlete and a popular one at that, with his T-Mac 2 and 3 models selling well during their run, but McGrady was wearing a surprising T-Mac 3.5 model during this career-high scoring night.
