The Nike Air Jordan 8 Retro DB 'Doernbecher' was launched as part of the Nike x Doernbecher 2014 Freestyle Collection. It was designed by Caden Lampert, who is fighting against the life-threatening autoimmune disease Guillain-Barré syndrome. The sneaker is characterized by its vibrant Hyper Blue speckled upper, highlighted with accents of Electro Orange, Tour Yellow, and black. In November 2014, the sneaker made its debut at the Portland Art Museum and it incorporates a range of personal touches. Inspired by Caden's passion for basketball, his jersey number, #14, adorns the cross-strap, while a captivating cobra graphic embellishes the right tongue. The sneaker also boasts a glow-in-the-dark fingerprint and features uplifting phrases like 'Hang Loose,' 'Rock On,' and 'Brave.'
