AJ 6 Retro DB “Doernbecher”

The Doernbecher x AJ 6 “2019 Release” is the special re-release of the famous AJ 6 that first came out in 2009. The highly coveted colorway designed by Doernbecher Children’s Hospital patient AJ Dark returned in 2019 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Doernbecher x Nile partnership. The blue suede AJ 6 returned along with a few of the other most notable designs from the Doernbecher Freestyle Collection over the years. The design features an all-suede upper embossed with stripes and graphics, including “06/08” and “04/09,” references to the dates of AJ Dark’s first and last days of chemotherapy treatment during his battle with cancer. Like the original 2009 release, the 2019 version of the Doernbecher x AJ 6 released in extremely limited quantities and is now highly sought after.
