Loading... Please wait...LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
Addie Peterson doesn't define herself as a patient with cystic fibrosis, but as a thriving, curious, creative "girl-soon-to-be-young woman." She embraces this curiosity like few 15 year olds: she draws, writes poetry, taught herself piano, and is an accomplished violinist in a performing youth orchestra. Even as the serious lung disease interrupts her everyday routine with intensive medical regimes, her positive and energetic approach to life remains unaffected. Addie's Nike Air Max Thea (Doernbecher) Women's Shoe features design details that pay tribute to the uplifting and inspirational perspective she's adopted despite her illness.
ADDIE'S DESIGN
Addie's take on the Nike Air Max Thea is a blend of playfulness and sophistication. She loves polka dots, and it shows. The classic pattern adorns the perimeter forefoot, collar lining and laces in eye-catching contrast. Her mantras, "Fight like a girl" and "Just breathe" are displayed in script print on either side of the heel, with her own music-inspired logo standing in between. A reflective lace pattern stands out on the vamp, and a picture of her dog Toby resides inside the tongue to keep one of her best friends close.
