Sneaker magic: Zach’s Air Jordan 17 hits Nike

The Air Jordan 17 “Doernbecher” just landed at the Nike Employee Store, but what really sets this release apart is the story behind it. Zach Rumbaugh, who survived a life-threatening heart condition and spent 38 days at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, designed this pair with mechanical luxury and car-inspired details. Seeing Zach sign pairs in person is a powerful reminder of how sneakers can carry real meaning—his journey is literally stitched into every shoe. Proceeds go to pediatric care, making this drop more than just a collector’s item. What do you think: does a powerful backstory make a sneaker more special? #Beauty #AirJordan17 #Doernbecher
