On November 11, 2004 limited quantities of each footwear design were available at Niketowns across the USA, in a unique partnership between Doernbecher Children's Hospital and Nike. Here, five young cancer patients have created one-of-a-kind footwear designs using Nike shoes as their canvas.

Air Zoom FC - Michael Libro, 12 year-old from Gladstone, Oregon

Air Zoom Angus - Daymon Abbott, 12 year-old from Hillsboro, Oregon

Air Zoom FC - Laurie Miller, 10 year-old from Turner, Oregon

Air Zoom FC - Leah Heilman-Pollack, 15 year-old from Corvallis, Oregon

Air Zoom FC - Krystal Salsky, 17 year-old from Milwaukee, Oregon

What is Laurie's inspiration behind the shoe?

"Laurie's family is as cheerful as a school of fish-much like the ones swimming around this vivid blue shoe. She is one of eight kids, and her little sisters insist they are her biggest fans. Laurie's Doernbecher Freestyle shoe is dedicated to her Uncle Ernie who recently passed away from cancer. Its unique style represents their special bond."

Although Nike won't disclose exact numbers of the number of shoes produced, there is roughly 13,000 pairs in total of all 5 styles, equating to no more than 2600 pairs of each style.

Proceeds will benefit Doernbecher Children's Hospital Foundation to support research, health care for uninsured children and new advances in medical technology.
