VNDS Kyrie 2 Doernbecher

The Nike Kyrie 2 'Doernbecher,' released in December 2016, is a special edition sneaker with a heartfelt and inspiring backstory. It was designed by Andy Grass, an incredibly resilient 11-year-old patient at the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Oregon.

Andy's story is one of recovery and strength, as he had experienced two collapsed lungs after being crushed by a log at the beach. The design of his Kyrie 2 reflects his journey and his love for basketball. The blue and white colorway pays tribute to his basketball team's colors.

One of the standout features of the shoe is the personalized logo on the tongue, which depicts a lion atop a log, holding a baseball bat and basketball. This emblem symbolizes Andy's resilience and determination.

The 'GRASS STRONG' tag on the midfoot strap serves as a slogan of encouragement for his parents, recognizing their unwavering support throughout his recovery.

The shoe's speckled midsole contains the word 'JOY,' which is a tribute to his late Aunt and a reminder of the positive aspects of life.

Additionally, there's a touching detail on the underside of the left shoe strap, which reads 'LOVE MOM' in gold lettering, reflecting the strong bond between Andy and his mother.

The Nike Kyrie 2 'Doernbecher' is not just a sneaker; it's a symbol of resilience, strength, and the power of the human spirit. It's a reminder that even in the face of adversity, individuals like Andy Grass can find the courage to overcome challenges and inspire others through their creativity and determination.
