Another sneaker set to be a part of the upcoming Doernbecher collection is the Nike Air Max Zero Doernbecher By Chase Swearingen. Chase is 14 years old is goes by the nickname “The Captain” because he’s not afraid of taking charge. Now, that’s my kind of guy! Ever since he was born. Chase has been treated for hydrocephalus, which is a condition that causes dangerous accumulation of fluid around the brain. This setback has also become one of the main reasons why Chase would like to pursue a doctorate in neuropsychology.
Chase approached his design of his Air Max Zero with the same attention to detail that he gives with anything he does in his life. Notable details on the shoe include the tongue reading “Unstoppable Chase”, the White tubing that runs all around the sockliner is said to represent the shunt (a hole or a small passage which moves, or allows movement of, fluid from one part of the body to another) he’s had to live with his entire life. Chase also has a love for lighthouses, which is evident on the shoe’s heel, which also happens to utilize the Nike Swoosh as a light beam. Shades of Blue and Green make up the entire aesthetics of the shoe, which result in a nice two-toned look.
