NIKE, Inc. unveiled its 18th footwear collection with the Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU) Doernbecher Children’s Hospital on Oct. 28, 2022. Six designs in total were revealed, including an Air Jordan 1 Low OG imagined by Riddhi Mahajan.
A native of Portland, Ore., Mahajan idolizes Serena Williams. An aspiring doctor, the 15-year-old suffers from Cystic fibrosis. For her Air Jordan design, the black-belt-in-Tae-Kwon-Do-holder went colorful, covering Michael Jordan’s first signature sneaker in shades of green and purple. “Radiate positivity” messaging is printed on the lateral side, words Mahajan lives by on a daily basis. Elsewhere, flower and sun graphics appear on the heel and tongue label, respectively; the ombré laces recreate the sunrise in a vibrant manner. Down below, the sole unit maintains a clean color scheme that allows for the upper to shine.
Enjoy official images of the pair ahead. Mahajan’s design is rumored to hit the Nike SNKRS app in March.
