Portland, OR. Zoe designed the ‘Nike Dunk Low’ for the Nike Freestyle XVII collection. An alternate colorway (one of two pairs in the world) was up for auction on eBay, along with other rare products. On March 5th Nike and OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital raised $568,000 with the annual event. Since 2004, the partnership has raised nearly $31 million.
