Looking for a fly pair of sneakers to amp up your fashion moves in the fall, then check out the The New Balance x Herschel 710 in red. Reaffirm your urban fashion credo with these sneakers that feature a red suede upper, mesh on the heel, and leather branding. The sneakers inspired by hiker boots rest on a mean gum sole that promises good traction. Flat spaghetti laces thread through D-link metal eyelets.

New Balance branding appears on the tongue while Herschel gets space on the inner lining with some paisley print for company.

King James’ jeans provide the DNA for the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke “Denim LeBron X” by Slovadon. Waterproof denim dresses the upper and branding, contrasted by grey denim on the lateral side Swooshes. Tan leather tags the tongue and lining, with vachetta laces of the same tone tying it all together. A vivid purple midsole caps off this exclusive, boasting a Max Air unit and clear bottom.

Words of inspiration etch the Nike Dunk Low “Doernbecher”. Designed in 2007 by Lance Dillon during chemotherapy treatment, this Doernbecher design sees help from Nike’s Mark Smith in the form of laser detailing. The model features a mix of black and green leather with lasered text appearing in all-over fashion.

Now 24-years old with a degree in anthropology from Oregon State, Lance reflects favorably on his experience designing his “Doernbecher” Dunks. “Getting to work with the Nike staff and design my own shoe are things that I will always remember. But the greatest part of it was knowing that it was helping other kids that were going through the same things that I went through.”

The Nike Dunk Low “Doernbecher” is scheduled to re-release on August 31st at Nike.com and at NIKETOWN New York, Nike Georgetown, Nike Chicago, Nike Roosevelt Field, Nike Portland, Nike San Francisco, Nike Dallas, NIKETOWN Los Angeles, Nike Lenox and Nike Las Vegas. The shoes will retail for $85 with all proceeds benefiting Doernbecher Children’s Hospital Foundation and the young patients who need it most.
