The latest installment in the Doernbecher series pays homage to a young man named Isaac Arzate. Isaac had a love for sports, playing very successfully in both basketball & baseball. He suffered a massive heart attack and underwent surgery at Doernbecher. He was then invited to participate in the program and began sketching out some designs. Sadly, before he could finalize his sneaker, Isaac passed away in April 2013 of a fatal heart attack. With the help of his parents, Nike completed Issac’s design bringing it to life on an Air Jordan V.
At first look it appears like an all black patent leather kick, but under black light a crazy glowing design appears. Glow-in-the-dark words to a poem written a day before his passing make up the whole upper. The #9 and #31 appear on the lower side, those were his jersey numbers when Issac play sports. The laces also glow then under the tongue you will find Isaac’s initials and date of birth. This very special sneaker [complete with flashlight] drops September 14th. Hit the jump to get a look at this flyness..
