• Air Yeezy Doernbecher Raffle T-shirts

As the Nike Air Yeezy Charity Auctions ended this past weekend, Sole Collector and the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital are completing the Yeezy For Doernbecher charity series by offering the public two t-shirts where proceeds will once again benefit the charity. In addition, individuals who purchase a t-shirt will automatically qualify for a raffle where the selected winner receives a brand new pair of the Net/Net (tan) Nike Air Yeezy. A bonus is that the pair of Yeezys will be lasered with personalized text and graphics by Mark Smith.

One t-shirt has a pink print on a black t-shirt where the  front graphic resembles the same laser design on the custom wooden box that houses the Grammy Air Yeezys that reads “KW YEEZY”. The second Yeezy For Doernbecher t-shirt features a glow-in-the-dark print on a black t-shirt with a front graphic that resembles the Air Yeezy’s original designs. Both t-shirts also feature similar sleeve and back designs.

• Nike Air Yeezy With Jordan 6 Sole

Several weeks back, Chi Mcbride and Mark Smith revealed the plans to auction off the original Nike Air Yeezy that Kanye West wore at the Grammy’s in 2008, labeled as the Grammy Air Yeezys. Now, the duo is back to reveal another 1 of 1 original pair that will also be on the auction block to support the Doernbecher Foundation. Up for grabs is an all black Nike Air Yeezy with an Air Jordan 6 sole. In the video below, Smith reveals that the sample was never even presented to Kanye during the production of the Air Yeezy shoe.

What does everyone think about the Air Yeezy with a Jordan 6 sole? I personally don’t like it, but that’s only because I’m a big fan of the Jordan 3 shoe and the final Air Yeezy implemented the Jordan 3 sole.
