Nike Air Max 180Doernbecher Ja’Kai

Product Description

The Nike Air Max 180 Doernbecher Ja’Kai is an athletic shoe featuring an upper with synthetic black lightning bolt printed overlays on top of shiny fabric. The fabric ombrés from neon green at the tip to bright blue at the heel. A 3D clear liquid-look Swoosh accents the sides, while the black and royal blue midsole displays the visible Air unit. The outsole is blue to green, and Ja’Kai 30, T110, and 180 branding appear on the tongue and rear heel.

American sportswear brand Nike is one of the world’s top sneaker producer, and one of their charitable initiatives is the Doernbecher Freestyle Program, which raises funds for the Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Within this partnership, young patients work with Nike designers to create their own designs. Patient Ja’Kai’s design incorporates reflective laces and lightning bolts, and the outsole glows in the dark.

Our experts feel that the best feature of the 180 Ja’Kai is its ability to be visible in darkness, which amps its bold look. The Nike Air Max 180 Doernbecher Ja’Kai released on January 25, 2025, and retailed at $160.
