For Daniel Peña there are good days, and there are beyond-amazing days. The day he learned he was going to design a shoe for the legendary Air Jordan franchise was a beyond amazing day. Like Jordan, Daniel has reinvented himself as an athlete again and again. Because his hemophilia causes problems in his ankle, he frequently changes up his sports so that he can continue to compete. Daniel's Nike x Doernbecher Air Jordan 10 Retro Men's Shoe is also a story of reinvention.

THE POWER OF REINVENTION

For Daniel Peña there are good days, and there are beyond-amazing days. The day he learned he was going to design a shoe for the legendary Air Jordan franchise was a beyond amazing day. Like Jordan, Daniel has reinvented himself as an athlete again and again. Because his hemophilia causes problems in his ankle, he frequently changes up his sports so that he can continue to compete. Daniel's Nike x Doernbecher Air Jordan 10 Retro Men's Shoe is also a story of reinvention.

DANIEL'S DESIGN

Daniel's shoe features a slew of first-ever features, like a modified logo that's customized just for Daniel. It's also the first time you'll ever see a clear outsole on a Jordan 10 shoe. Daniel's is embossed with a list of Jordan's accomplishments. The glossy upper sports a camouflage print that's inspired by Daniel's favorite video game. And in a nod to his days riding the BMX circuit, a tire tread races up the heel and straight into the sockliner. The shoe also bears an important distinction: "It's the only Jordan 10 shoe that's ever been designed by a kid!" said Daniel.

AIR JORDAN ORIGINS

Since his game-winning shot that brought the National Championship to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, setting a new standard for performance and style, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide. Ever evolving, ever at the pinnacle of imagination, the Air Jordan line is the ultimate in basketball footwear.
