Dario Villaseñor Valdivia Orange Obsession Seen In The Nike Air Huarache Doernbecher

Diagnosed with Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, seven years ago Dario Villaseñor Valdivia received a bone marrow soccer that resulted in his body attacking the donor cells and severely damaging his lungs. Yet through it all, the 13-year-old has exercised an exuberant outlook on life, which comes represented in his brightly orange-colored Nike Air Huarache.

One-sixth of Nike’s 18th annual Doernbecher collection this year looks to the Vancouver, WA native’s motto “Siempre Fuerte” (Always Strong) for direct inspiration – which comes illuminated across the insoles and treads underfoot. Rendering a bright yellowish-orange base layer, the pair’s pebble-grain leather overlays come dipped in a darker embellishment. Bearing fuzzy brown chenille detailing at its mid-foot and sock liner in homage to Dario’s favorite long-haired plush toy, swatches of dark olive contrast the laces and tongue tabs while a brighter shade of the latter fills the sock liner and midsole cushioning unit. Receiving a “Metallic Silver” coat across its D.V. branded heel counter, dark green returns to the semi-translucent rear pull tab while a simplified translucent tread cleans up the vibrantly-treated offering.

While we await the pair’s expected March release, enjoy official images of the Doernbecher Nike Air Huarache “Dario Villaseñor Valdivia” below in the meantime.
