why does this dusty raggedy falling apart box mean so much to me bruh the shoes inside of here i have
been hunting down for years literally since 2007 and i finally got him i am so excited to finally
add this sneaker to my collection so let's go ahead and crack this box open and get into it
welcome back to the channel what's up with you guys how you doing how you being if you did

you heard in the intro this sneaker came out in 2007 and it is currently 2021. get a calculator
do the math it's been a long time since this shoe dropped i've easily owned over a thousand pair of
sneakers and for some reason i have never owned this shoe so what is this sneaker might you ask
the air jordan 2 doernbecher looking at the box you can see it has a lot of character
there's a lot of dust so hopefully the shoes ain't dusty on the inside cracking the box
open this is so so dope so nostalgic you got the receipt taped right here on the top of the box
and the retro card taped right here filling the paper back you got the shoe oh you got the shoe
so before i get to telling you guys my story of why it took me so long how i got them all these
different things first i need to teach you guys about this shoe because the story behind these
is insane and i just immediately fell in love with this shoe from day one as most sneaker heads know
doernbecher children's hospital has collaborated with nike and jordan brand for damn near 15 years
now and at the beginning of this era with the new jordan brand collaboration this was the very first
ever doernbecher collaboration that we saw with jordanbrand i started collecting sneakers around
the 2006 2007 era and these came out in 2007 when nike and doernbecher collaborate they always
choose a special child from the hospital and allow them to create their own sneaker and release it to
the public in a limited amount and as most sneaker heads know there are a bunch of different retros
and different nikes and all different types of stuff that have came out over the years as they
do different packs each and every year this shoe in particular was designed by sheridan brenton
a young 15 year old at the time that had gotten a nearly fatal car accident and lost his arm and
they had to reattach it he went through over 40 different surgeries and fought and fought and
fought and made his way out strong the green and gold colors of this sneaker are inspired
by his school colors and esticated organ one dope detail that not a lot of people really know about
this shoe is the perforated dots that go all the way around the toe in the front end of the shoe
there are 35 of them also there's a 35 embroidered on the back of the tongue that was his jersey
number i love dope little details and storytelling aspects like that on sneakers they went with a
very unique paisley peacock style when it comes to the all green lays it all around the sneaker
i think this is a very very dope hit gives this shoe its own unique vibe and they say it's a good
representation of his style as well you got your green yellow and black outsole all black midsole
all black here on the plastic tab on the back you got your snake skin vibes here on the side of the
foot a premium suede here around the toe green and yellow eyelids all throughout with a nice hint of
yellow stitching here on the top a yellow jumpman on the back doernbecher ohsu children's hospital
x jordan brand collaboration here on the back of the tongues all black insole with a yellow jumpman
a big s embroidered here on the tongue of the shoe i'm assuming of representing the first letter of
his name and then proverbs 8 28 from his favorite scripture these released on november 9 2007
retail was 140 and at the time they were kind of hard to get everybody that had them never wanted
to get rid of them it was kind of a first thing of a new era of what's going on now and it was
just dope to see it happen and unfold in that current time of being a new sneaker collector
i tried to get pairs year after year after year finding size 12s size 14 ds vnds beat up
torah falling apart all these different things and for some reason i could not
get the right price the right condition to make me happy to buy this sneaker for my collection
and what i wanted to get it for so i was patient i was patient i was patient i gave it time and
i finally got the shoe as you saw on my previous video when i sat down last year talking about the
10 sneakers i have never owned this one definitely was on the list when i first started collecting
right that was around that same time uh they had just came out and the price was kind of high and
i was like oh i don't know if i can afford that because i was younger at the time and i just
i wasn't able to afford it and then i got to a point where i was like okay i can't afford it
but do i want to spend that price on that shoe 700 bucks 800 bucks and at one point people was
trying to get over a thousand for the shoe and then just so happened a couple weeks ago i was
up at sneak city in seattle so i see you guys got the doernbecher 2 right here do you have a size 13
i still need this shoe bro i'm looking for this shoe i need this in my life i
heard you didn't like this i don't ah i'm not going to fan man sonny's colors though
these are amazing i need these and to that moment i still had never owned the shoe
but then somebody saw the video and they shot me at dm it was a random person who had no clue who
they were but they sent me pictures of these in a size 13 so i was immediately interested he said
hey bro i saw your video the other day and you're looking for a size 13. i have a pair for you so i
did a little bit of research because i had no clue who the guy was i care so much about this sneaker
and i didn't want anything sketchy to happen so i did a little background you know i had to
hit up a couple homies to see if they knew him they told me he was a-okay and good to go so i
immediately said all right cool what's your paypal he wanted 520 shipped and i just bought them with
no hesitation because i had seen previous pairs on the internet for around 500 bucks and the complete
outsole was fully off of the shoe dead stock pairs are literally going to run you anywhere from 800
to 1000 or some people even asking two thousand dollars for the shoe i asked them if the shoe
was wearable and if there was any separation on any parts of the sneaker he said no they're
a-okay they're intact they have been worn before so that means they have a higher percent chance
of potentially not falling apart because they have been worn so i'm like cool this is great i
definitely need these so i sent them the payment he shipped them overnight and i got the shoes in
the mail as soon as i opened up the box i should have made a video just from my initial reaction
because i was so hyped up this is a sneaker that i have wanted for almost 15 years now i've been
patient and again i'm just so happy that i finally got the shoe for the price that i wanted to get it
for obviously yeah everybody wants to get it for lower and all those things but i feel like it was
a pretty solid deal and i had to take it because the older and older a shoe gets it becomes harder
to find at the right price at one point i had owned every single air jordan doernbecher release
besides this one and i was so defeated a couple years ago i decided to shell off a couple of my
dorm backers from my collection because i just i like i liked them but i didn't really like them
as much there's certain ones that i definitely really like and those are the ones that i kept
but like that i mean the doernbecher 12 is growing on me the 13 is just still not it for me
the teams was like they cool you know what i'm saying so i let those go the higher number stuff
but i think it's time to start getting them back and completing the set because now i'm
back motivated and yes if i would have just held on to the first ones in the first place
i would have got them all for retail and then i wouldn't have to pay resale for the other ones
i get it i get it but again opportunity cost years all those different things
i think i'll be all right so overall that's pretty much a short story and breakdown about how i feel
about the shoe how i got the shoe a little history behind it all those different things
what it's going for the market all the different stuff i don't really care about that part because
now oh yeah i'm never getting rid of these bro like i've worked so hard to get them i've just
been so patient so let me know what you guys think about this shoe down below in the comment section
i posted a poll on my instagram like i always do and this is what the people said 66 chose
fire and 34 charged trash bruh it got to be at least like 80 20. come on man but i do get it
it's definitely a wild wild shoe maybe people never understood the story behind it or didn't
really care to learn about it or whatever but if you did learn something new make sure you drop
