The Nike x Doernbecher auction for their 20th anniversary was open for online bidding between October 21 and October 30. However, more than 50 limited-edition sneakers are available for you to get your hands on through their silent auction, which is currently live. You can find these limited editions available for bidding on the live.classy.org website.
The Nike x Doerbercher is a fundraiser that was initially started in 2004 by Nike executive, Michael Doherty. It is a collaboration between Nike and the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Doherty is also a member of the board at the hospital. The initiative of the partnership is to allow six patients the opportunity to design their very own Nike sneakers.
All the funds that are raised from auctioning these six limited-edition sneakers will go to the OHSU institution. It has been two decades since this collaboration.
