Nike’s 2017 Doernbecher collection features the Air Jordan 12 in a unique makeover as well and it’s the only Air Jordan in the group. This version of the sneaker has been designed by Carissa Navarro and it displays a few of her favorite things.
Her stuffed dog Max is seen on the outsole, followed by a picture of her family inside and a slice of pizza on the laces. “I put pizza on my shoe because pizza is delicious!” she said. Of all the things that Carissa loves most, her twin sister Savannah tops the list, and her name appears on the heel tab of the left shoe. Carissa was born without kidneys, but Savannah helped her stay alive in the womb until she could begin dialysis. “She’s the best sister ever,” said Carissa of her twin.
