Michael Le The Doernbecher Freestyle has given many the opportunity of a lifetime: to create their very own pair of sneakers. And alongside the team at Nike, these young, aspiring designers have translated their experience and hardships into a tangible, heartfelt colorway.
Cidni O’Brien, one of this year’s lucky individuals, suffered dust a pain in her chest when she was playing soccer back in 2018. She was then diagnosed with Abloh aortic origin of the left coronary artery; this meant her heart wasn’t receiving the necessary amount of oxygen, causing extremely poor cardiac function. Thankfully, O’Brien bounced back in six months following one major heart surgery, and she’s now back on the field with her team, the Lebanon Warriors.
The 16-year-old’s Nike Air Max Plus SE Social FC DQ3981-001 is dedicated to her teammates and the animals she holds dear.. Across the laces, the names of her goats, parrot, donkey, chicken, dog, and fish are proudly displayed, while O’Brien’s horse, Tank, receives a special mention across the left sockliner. Nikki, the young athlete’s mother, is celebrated along the right, and O’Brien comments that “[she] wouldn’t be here without her.” What’s more, if you flip the shoe to its outsole, you’ll find a graphic of shrimp pasta, a nod to O’Brien’s favorite food.
Enjoy an official look at the Nike Air Max Plus SE Social FC DQ3981-001 “Doernbecher” below. You can expect a retail release later this Spring.
