In July 2021, Jordan Brand<\/a><\/strong> partnered with 13 year old Jordan Carranza through the Make-A-Wish foundation<\/a> to provide him with an opportunity of a lifetime. Carranza, who was born with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, had a wish to design a sneaker that broke down barriers. That sneaker was the Air Jordan 1 FlyEase<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carranza’s vision for a sneaker was portrayed through an initial sketch of the Air Jordan 1 to Jordan brand designers. As seen below, he had an eye-catching blue and white colorway in mind, sprinkled with special design elements that were inspired by moments of his life. A modified handicapped logo found on the lateral heel reflects Carranza’s overwhelming perseverance to make his dreams come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat inspired me to make this shoe is that Nike has always been my favorite brand, and I have always  wanted to make a shoe. The reason I made a handicap style is that it shows me that just because you\u2019re  disabled doesn\u2019t mean that your dream can\u2019t come true,\u201d said Carranza.<\/p>-Jordan Carranza, 2021<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Upon hearing Carranza’s story, Jordan Brand decided to provide him with an opportunity only given to professional athletes: a special PE watch. Jordan Carranza’s PE Watch will be released via Instagram Stories<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> come November 18 at 10:30am ET. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jordan Carranza x Air Jordan 1 Flyease PE<\/strong> will not be releasing to the public, but instead will be a special creation just for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
