Meet Isaiah Scott, the child behind the Air Jordan IV Doernbecher

Nike has posted a video featuring the designer behind the Air Jordan IV "Doernbecher," Isaiah Scott.  As a patient at Doernbecher Childern's Hospital, his love of the game of basketball made him an ideal candidate to team up with some of Nike's finest designers to produce a one-of-a-kind shoe that could only come from the imagination of a child.

Using unique materials and colorways, Scott produced an Air Jordan IV that is sure to turn some heads and inspire others that they can overcome obstacles in their way.  In the video, Scott recalls the story of why he chose Superman to be on the shoe thanks to Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard.  Scott's position touched Warner Bros. so much that when Nike asked them if it was okay to put the Superman logo on the shoe, they more than willing to acquiesce.

Nike has also posted video profiles of the other patients tapped to design some unique kicks and you can check them all out here.  All proceeds from the sale of these limited edition shoes will go to the Doernbecher Childern' Hospital.  And while the designs are definitely not for everybody, people should at least take the time and consider donating to the hospital as well.
