Nike's Doernbecher Freestyle Range Expands with Five Zoom Pulses

— December 5, 2019 — Fashion
Nike adds more to its 2019 Doernbecher Freestyle collection with five new Special Zoom Pulse designs that are made for medical professionals specifically. These are made by the same patients that created the original capsule and each one tells a story respective to each designer through the intricate detailing.

The first shoe features hospital-themed emblems including needles, a nurse head, thermometers, and more -- designed by Kahleah. Another pair is the black and yellow iteration with floral accents made by Zion. The third features mismatching accents, with black on the left foot and white on the right foot made by Desiree along with colorful details. Another pair is inspired by Oklahoma City Thunder, with hits of blue, black, and orange designed by Bransen. The last is made by Sawyer and features a cheerful message reading "Hope."
