The Nike Air Huarache Doernbecher by Brayden Sparkman is part of this year’s Nike 2017 Doernbecher Collection that releases in November. “Brayden Strong” is Brayden Sparkman’s nickname, and it is also an apt description for how he’s choosing to fight acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

“When I was diagnosed, everyone in the community started calling me by that nickname,” he explained. “For me, it means trying your best and leading by example.” Sparkman is an avid baseball player who hopes to play professionally one day.

His Nike Air Huarache is a tribute to the game and features Red baseball stitching, his own logo and nickname, which describe his playing style. The prominent display of Orange is a nod to his favorite baseball and football teams.

Nike Air Huarache Doernbecher Release Date
