One of Nike's most notable and noble collaborations is with the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The global sneaker brand is marking two decades of partnership with the Doernbecher Children's Hospital as a fundraising program. In an effort to support children's health and creativity, every year, the global brand invites six designs from patients for the Doernbecher Freestyle Collection.
One of the contributors to this collection is Quin Nims, who adds a vibrant and colorful spirit to the Freestyle Collection. The Quin special sneakers will be available for sale on SNKRS.com, Nike.com, and participating stores on January 25, 2025. The shoes are priced at $185.
