THE POWER OF COURAGE

Behind Elijah Diggin's modest exterior is a tenacious kid with untold reserves of strength. An avid baseball player, his spirit was put to the test last year when he was diagnosed with Burkitt's leukemia and underwent a tough course of chemo at Doernbecher. Elijah's Nike x Doernbecher True Snapback Hat features his signature smiley face logo, which turns into his initials when viewed sideways, and the fiery red and black palette is a tribute to his favorite athlete, Lebron James. The back of the hat features Japanese characters that symbolize courage, a testament to the big heart and brave soul of a very special young man.
