Kicks: Air Jordan 3 - Doernbecher


The Air Jordan 3 Doernbecher is one of the most loved and sought after editions of the Jordan 3 and probably any Jordan Brand sneaker. Today Nike have announced that it will be re-issued on the 20th of July.

This is absolutely huge news for anyone out there that have been searching for this kick since its initial release. If they're quick enough, they have their chance to grab this J via Nike's twitter on 20 July, a tweet will be posted with the link to the item. Priced at $160 and a limit of 1 per customer has been set.

Let's just remind you exactly what this Doernbecher release means:

Cole Johanson participated in the Doernbecher Freestyle program in 2010 and had the opportunity to tell his story through the Air Jordan 3 Retro. A tonal red upper features “COLE” subtly spelled out within a diamond grid pattern, as well as callouts to his two favorite foods (spaghetti and chocolate) behind the pull-tab. But it was two words inscribed on the insole that helped Cole beat his lymphoma: Strength and Courage. “Those are the two things you need the most,” he said. “Especially courage. I mean, everyone has it, the trick is just not letting it go when hard things happen.” It’s a mantra that Cole continues to embrace as he prepares to start his freshman year at Beaverton High School. He can’t wait to play high school hoops, and, of course, he’ll be rocking a pair of Air Jordans.

So yeah, get over to Nike's official Twitter on 20 July to have your chance of grabbing this elusive iteration of the Air Jordan 3.
