Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Doernbecher': Where to Buy the 'Brand New Day' AJ1
The Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Doernbecher' (FD9665-351) takes one of the easiest sneakers in my rotation and wraps it in purpose. Designed by Riddhi Mahajan for Nike's Doernbecher Freestyle program, the 2023 release turns Peter Moore's classic into a colorful expression of optimism. I own a ridiculous number of Jordan 1 Lows because they're fashionable, accessible and easy to get on and off. This pair gives that everyday formula a story worth wearing.

Where Can You Buy the Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Doernbecher'?
The retail release is long gone, leaving StockX and GOAT as two of the main places to hunt. As of September 3, 2026, StockX asking prices I checked range from $221 to $1,500 depending on size, with my size 14 at $350. GOAT asking prices reach $603, including $393 for a size 14. Those are asking prices, not confirmed sales.
That spread is familiar with Doernbecher sneakers. Limited supply, personal storytelling and collector demand can send resale ballooning, particularly in scarce sizes.
What Makes the Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Doernbecher' Stand Out?
Air Jordan 1 Low OG DoernbecherGOAT h/t Shoe Sagas
Gorge Green overlays frame white and Barely Volt panels, while the translucent Court Purple Swoosh carries "Radiate Positivity." Sunrise-inspired ombré laces shift through purple, orange and yellow, "Brand New Day" appears across the toe, and daisies bring more personality to the heel and translucent purple outsole.
There's a lot happening, but it never feels messy. The colors, textures and messaging work in harmony with Peter Moore's original AJ1 foundation, allowing Riddhi's personality to shine without burying the classic sneaker underneath it.
Why Does the Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Doernbecher' Matter?
According to OHSU, Riddhi was 15, a Serena Williams fan, aspiring doctor and Tae Kwon Do black belt living with cystic fibrosis when she designed the shoe. OHSU's Doernbecher Freestyle program lets young patients turn their stories into sneakers alongside Nike creative teams, with Nike donating 100% of retail profits from the collections to Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
I've covered a bunch of Doernbecher Jordans myself, including the Air Jordan 6 'Doernbecher 15th Anniversary' and Air Jordan 3 'Doernbecher XIX.' The rarity and resale numbers grab attention, but the young designers and their stories are what give these releases their soul.
Should You Buy the Air Jordan 1 Low OG 'Doernbecher'?
I'd wear these as much for Riddhi's story as the style. Jordan 1 Lows are everyday sneakers for me — easy to get into, affordable, and they work with almost anything. Complex design or not, that familiar foundation keeps it wearable.
At $120 retail, this was an easy yes. At $350-plus in my size, I'm shopping patiently. Still, I wouldn't treat Riddhi's AJ1 like a museum piece. The story makes me want it. The design makes me want to wear it.
