Nike Air Force 1 '07 LE Doernbecher Colin Couch

Doernbecher Children's Hospital is located in Portland, and it has a great reputation in its own field. Nike started to collaborate with Doernbecher ever since 2004, and a project called “Doernbecher Freestyle Collection” was held annually. Children in the hospital can design and create special editions of sneakers in this project, and their boundless imagination created a lot of classic shoe types. All income from this project will be donated to the hospital for more medical facilities and study, and this project is also a public benefit advertisement that speaks for children as well. This Air Force 1 comes from the “Charity”series in 2008, and the designer is Colin Couch. The vamp is covered by grAFfiti style patterns(such as money, crown, signature) that present the passion of life and art. The lining and midsole uses bright fluorescent yellow. The outsole uses crystal texture, and one can see the grAFfiti pattern made by Colin Couch through the outsole. “Poor Richy”can be found under the shoe, and the metal shoelace packle is replaced by a bow-knot. In 2013, Nike re-editioned some past shoe types of Charity series to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the collaboration of Nike and Doernbecher, and this Air Force 1 was one of them. Therefore, this color actually has two editions--2008 and 2013, but they actually look the same in general.

Doernbecher Children’s Hospital是位于波特兰的一家儿童医院，致力于为儿童治疗各类疾病。在医学界享有盛名。自2004年起，Nike就与Doernbecher医院展开合作，每年都会开展名为“Doernbecher Freestyle Collection”的企划，提供给在医院治疗的小朋友们机会去设计、创作别注版的球鞋，凭着小朋友们天马行空的创意，使得这个系列的多双球鞋成为经典。而售卖Doernbecher系列球鞋的收入全数捐赠给医院用于购置医疗设施进行医疗研究等，并借此呼吁人们关注儿童健康，鼓励更多的孩子勇敢战胜病魔。此双Air Force 1来自于2008年的“慈善”系列，设计者为Colin Couch。鞋面整体覆盖着镭射的涂鸦风格图案（如金钱、王冠以及本人姓名等等），象征着设计者本人对生活、艺术的热爱。内衬与中底的车线选择了亮眼的荧光黄。外底采用了水晶底材质，透过外底可以看到Colin Couch本人涂鸦的图案。鞋底可以看到“Poor Ricky”的字样，金属鞋带扣也变为蝴蝶结的图案。整双鞋符合“慈善系列”细节满满的特点。

在2013年，Nike与Doernbecher合作10周年之际，Nike将过去的部分慈善系列鞋款进行复刻，此双Air Force 1 便是其中之一，所以这个配色分为2008年与2013年两个版本，但从外观上并无太大的区别。
