Chipotle Nike Air Force 1 Doernbecher
The Chipotle Nike Air Force 1 Doernbecher might be the most surprising one-off concept from this year’s Freestyle lineup. For over twenty years, Nike and Doernbecher have transformed patient stories into heartfelt designs, and ten-year-old Oli Fasone-Lancaster brought a fresh twist by leaning into his love of food.
Oli’s original pair featured silverware graphics and veggie-inspired colors, but Nike secretly cooked up a second version with Chipotle. That extra step shows how deeply this project connects to each kid’s life. Oli celebrated every cancer treatment with his favorite Chipotle meal, turning the restaurant into a symbol of resilience.
This special Chipotle Air Force 1 is loaded with clever storytelling. Metallic overlays echo burrito bowl foil. Bright green Swooshes nod to guacamole. Chipotle branding appears on the tongue, heel, and even the insoles, which borrow artwork from the chain’s to-go bags. That’s the detail sneakerheads will appreciate immediately.
The heel tab reads “Oli’s Order #572,” a tribute to the 572 laps he completed around Doernbecher’s oncology unit. The outsole even references the iconic “Chipotle Is My Life” moment. Small touches like these make the pair feel personal and powerful.
While the Chipotle Nike AF1 won’t release to the public, Oli’s official Doernbecher Air Force 1 will drop later this winter.
