 In today's video, we have a special guest and I'm gonna be showing you guys how you can win some $5,000 player exclusive Jordans for 25 bucks. Let's get into it. All right, so we are here We're with the legend and I just need you to introduce yourself The way you would like to how you would like to be perceived in this world because there's so many different ways I could do it. Wow Okay, my name is Joey Harrington. Yeah And I grew up in Northeast Portland though, you know, that's the that's that's what it is for me It's like this connection to To home and family and community And obviously I went on and played football at Oregon and went on to the NFL But when I was drafted by the Lions, I started Started a foundation because I always knew that I wanted to come back and Give back in some way like there's only I would be naive to think that I Yeah, I worked hard. I worked really really hard, but to think that I got to the NFL I got to be a Heisman Trophy finalist like sitting there in New York by myself without help from others Like that's just that's naive. So I knew that I wanted to be able to give back to the community that helped me get there so Yeah, so I started the Harrington Family Foundation and and and here we are What 20 years later, you know running out running a fundraiser to help some incredible students, definitely Yeah, so let's break down that real quick. I ran through the website I'll pop that up right here on the screen for you guys to see as well But if you look on here as you can see the entries are 25 dollars 25 dollars 25 bucks They have up to 5,000 entries. Yep, that's right now The end I had the other question, too. Is it for you in both or is it two different? Oh, no, you win in both Okay, you got both a lot of people do ask that question like is it you're getting one or getting both or how's that going? So you can enter for 25 bucks and literally win two of these PEs, but this one in particular Let's start with this one and we'll get a little bit more info about how to enter a little bit later in the video Well, let's start with the ones first because this one hits a little bit harder. I think for you. Yeah, this is Yeah, I mean there's there's kind of a back story to this in that tinker hat field was One of the first mentors in our scholarship program. So What we do at the foundation is we give every year we give four four-year scholarships To graduating high school seniors from around the state. Okay. It's got nothing to do with their grades Nothing to do with test scores. It's community leadership and financial need. Okay, and then we take those students and we connect them with mentors people who are in different areas like the areas they want to get into the areas that they're interested in because Yeah, money's money's great like you need money to go to college Not for sure, but you need someone to open a door. You need someone to give you advice You need someone to just be a resource and so we have a board of mentors Presidents of universities state Supreme Court justice business finance, you know marketing Widen and Kennedy health care like all these industries that that students want to get into one of our first mentors was tinker and He's been such a huge supporter of our foundation and our program You know, he is it's kind of busy, you know, he's a definitely, you know He's around not just around town, but like he's around the world and so he's moved off of Our mentor board, but I went to him a few years ago and I said hey hey look I'm I'm looking for unique ways to raise money for our students and Would you be willing to make make a shoe for us, right? Because I'd seen you know, he'd done some stuff for some of the other local auctions that had raised some money He said yeah, absolutely So he just said send me send me your logo. Send me, you know, what are your colors? What are you know some some ideas and and I'll put something together and It was like it went dark for like six months and then all of a sudden this box shows And so I was like what the hell is this and I open it up and there's five pair of Jordan one with our foundation green and gray colors with our logo Yeah, and and he sent along like the The little the little sketch pad and it's like all right, you know, here's what we got foundation colors Here's the project right premium material only five pair and of course as soon as I got them I just reached right out. I was like I cannot thank you enough I hope I hope this helps raise money for your students. Definitely the funny thing is like I didn't know what to do with Right, like this was this was right right at the start of COVID, right? And so I was like, what do I do to to use these? Like truly one of a kind there's there's five pair of these in the world. They're all sitting there sitting in my closet I don't like right, but I didn't I didn't want to waste them. I don't I want to make sure that Whatever I did with them Was able to generate the most money for our students and then and then the doorbell rings Two months ago and I was like now we now now I know what we're doing right so that's kind of the the transition to the 14 is He literally showed up on the door at the doorstep and just ding dong with the with a box Box in his hand. He said hey, I this is the shoe that I just did for the Oregon football team Okay, and there's only you know, we only made 275 of them You know, it's this one is number 42 of 275 and I want you to use this to To raise money for years for the students and he signed it and I was we had just run an online raffle that fall for a Barrel of bourbon. I was like now now we got it now. We got the you know, we got the ones We got the 14's and I can push this out and and I can do it nationally because there's there's so many people out there that I mean obviously You know love the love the shoes just just because they love shoes But there's also a ton of people out there who won Love the shoes, but don't want to pay, you know, $5,000 for a you know, it's a so I was like this is a $25 a lot Raffle to everybody has a chance and then there's the two like people who just want to help like that's the thing I'm learning is there's people out there that just want to Just want to do the right thing. So That's that's why I love this story is because It's more than just Shoes, right? It's community. It's literally, you know tinker just riding a skateboard down the street and ringing the doorbell and Being willing to help, right? Being willing to help. Yeah, like, you know, this is a guy who who has worldwide fame But he still looks out for the people in in his home city in his home state And he's got that connection which I think is which makes this even more special So I love this because typically on the channel always say we got to start out with the history first I always say and then I break it down I tell everybody story and stuff, but it's so much better when you're coming from you, right? It just sounds better. It just like it makes me like I need you to tell me just story for other stuff Even if it's not related to you, but it's great. So now after we get to that part I think people have a better understanding of kind of how it came about and how they popped up and then it just all Aligned and it was just a perfect situation. We'll get into the raffle details a little bit later Let's break down the shoes a little bit more talk about all the details And I usually start from the bottom of the way up So we go from the Jordan one and we do 14 or we can do the 14 first. Hey, it's your world. I just live in it Okay, you you run it on the also right here. We have an all-green outsole This is like that deep forest green right here. I like this color a lot You got the white midsole with the white stitch right here And then you have a white leather a smoother leather with a tumble leather on the back end But see here so is this are you calling this? Why do you call that like a light gray? Like that's actually see that's the thing that I like about like I think when I said hey tinker Well, our colors are green and gray. That's crazy. I see he we got the great here But I think this is a really light gray actually does look like that Cuz he's got two tones of the green Okay, right and then I think that just my eye, but I know my wife has told me I don't have the best eye for color like she'll look at that and you know what like a not a smoke gray But like uh-huh like a what is there's a paint that we use on houses I think it's called like gray ice or something. I forgot what it is But I know I know I can see that now. I got the light. It's not lighting right But that's that's why that's why it's so cool is because depending on what light is definitely it hits a little bit Difficult because this is you know pure white. That's your pure white boat and there's your gray But like right there is right in between. Mm-hmm. Okay, so we have a lighter very very faint gray right here smoother leather and I have a tumble leather right here on the back end and then on the toe on the top right here What it what are some details on this sneaker that you really like it's subtle But there's a lot of cool details when it comes to the switch of materials the colors and then the color Blocking of the shoe. Yeah, and I think that's what I what I like is like I didn't I didn't say it has to be This green or has to be like right the change, you know, the the dark forest green like the I love them I mean is this a is it technically is it like a I don't want to say it's like a synthetic suede But there's you know how like on some materials like depending on which way you push it Oh, yeah, which way the grain goes. Yeah, it looks like it for sure Mm-hmm, and then the the different green with with the laces as well like there's just it just kind of What's the word I'm looking for like It grows yeah, right it grows and it flows it flows well Especially with being like a dark and a light color on the shoe I like the aspect as well and I feel like the swoosh would it be in green definitely brings it all together Yeah, the bottom and the back end of the shoe right there. Well, and that's and that's the thing too like people think that the green for the foundation is It's Oregon mm-hmm. It's actually it's actually Ireland, okay? Because so like if you look at our logo when we designed our foundation logo we used Celtic knots, okay? To make to surround the age right cuz that's where my family is from right this whole fat this foundation the scholarship program It's about community. It's about family. It's about taking care of each other It's a bike and so for me and my family like our roots in Ireland I mean it goes it goes deep I'm I'm still in touch with my family down in the Barrett Peninsula, you know Southwest or Ireland and then got some family outside of Dublin like and that's the green for me is like it's this It's this connection to home. It's this connection to family connection to community So it you know, it just happened to be that Oregon was also Yeah, exactly. That's what's up. That's what's up So you have kind of like a minty kind of colored lace right here and this is actually more a little waxy actually It's got a flat wax lace right here, and then I know I stuffed them in here inside the color laces This was a four-screen and a white lace on the inside of here. Yep. Okay dope. So everything like that I think I think the shoe looks really good. I'm interested to see what happens and who wins and if they actually post them You know how people always win the giveaways and then they like never post you like who got there? Like I'm interested to see I'm here to see if they wear yeah, right? You know because some people you know it some people You know like that's what shoes are for me Like you it's a story like it's not something to sit on a shelf like wear them and and have it be part But some people I understand like if you know, there's only a few Okay, so this comes with your standard retro sample black Box with the white or sorry this has a gold jump man on here, and then the same thing like we were talking about earlier This is the card that you saw we just print. Yeah, so we just sent over a digital copy and and you know I just printed it and put it in the box, but It's it's interesting so whoever wins gets the digital copy of the Of the I'm called a spec sheet or a project sheet, but Tinker also did an original piece of artwork For for the 14 which which comes with it as well the thing that I like on on the box is if you go Let's see only other side So he did he did a size run. Oh, okay. This is the size 10 though. So there's there's There's a eight nine ten eleven There may or may not be a 12 and a 13 Okay, and so this is the box that he just wrote all right Here's the 10 got you and there we go. So that's you know, it's it's a you know It's a pretty standard box, but like to have that like this is the box of the 10 in that size right right, right? Yeah, they always have them like especially marked and everything love seeing that so with the organ 14 now We saw this one the players just recently got these mm-hmm for the last bowl game. Yeah Yeah, so they got those for the bowl game And then now we're starting to see them service a little bit more in the streets A lot of people are interested in these switched them up. You're wearing the gray pair I got yeah all gray 14 the embossed the little ducks. Yeah, and then there's a green version for like track Different teams like that and then now we're seeing these so some people are like yo How many 14's are they gonna give us but then other people are like these are clean like this is a really nice shoe Like I love the colors and the patterns So what do you think about the color blocking on this shoe in particular? Well, I think the thing that I saw at first was like it's so different from any of the other 14s Mm-hmm. Yeah, like you said he did like the the olive green or kind of I don't know if it's all But like kind of a yeah, it wasn't an Oregon True green. Yeah, and then the grays are just you know, it's it's all gray But the detail was like the little little ducks. Yeah all down. Yeah. This one is It's busy. Yeah, you know the others the original ones are just clean these are these are busy and it's and it's a mix of You know like he he did on the piece of artwork. He said it's a synthetic suede and you know And then you know, you got the the two, you know almost the What is it a neon right? I like what it is that I was called it? Well, is that vault? We're gonna vault era back like ten years ago, right was popping But I started to see it come back more and more on Oregon Jordan P. He's in particular We're starting to see that a lot more often now, but see here's the thing again like so you got green you got volt This is is it a dark dark green? Got you Because no no no like remember our uniforms back in 2000 in when Oregon switched over to the the new uniforms Yeah, which are now old in 99. Yeah, everybody thought they were black Just dark dark green and I almost wonder if it's I don't know you got to ask the guy himself Yeah, it's like the picture on the Internet when they're like is it gray or is it blue or whatever? You don't talk about like looking at it here next to all of the the different green You know it I could see it being a little bit, you know, I'm not really really dark But I love the you know you you got the I used busy a minute ago, but like it's unique Yeah, it's you've got the duck and the Ferrari badge. You got the you know the the different The tow box is different than the than the sides the perforated sides You know the pattern and the bike there's a lot of stuff going on with the shoe, but it all fits It's not like tanker does anything that doesn't fit. It's coming together clean for sure. I think this is a nice shoe On the bottom. I showed a little bit ago right here. You got your classic Air Jordan 14 I was all all black right here, and then you got that green. That's similar to the upper It's a little bit lighter or a little bit darker though, huh? The Man in the pod looks a little bit like a lighter not as prominent And then on the back end you got white right here wrapping up to the midsole same thing silver green white little hit Right there for the tail lights on the car with a tire Always love that feature on the Jordan 14 Ferrari. Yeah, I love that every like every shoe's got like a different story Like there's a different You know inspiration to this that's that's what I like Yeah, there's a lot of cool elements to this sneaker So I'm assuming if you were to pick between these two shoes you would go with the ones or would you actually go with the 14? I mean I got like personally like If I'm gonna take the I'm gonna say the sentimental out of it. I'm more of a I'm more of a one than 14. Okay. Okay, like if I'm going 3 11 okay One mm-hmm four Five oh, I think that's why you got a sixes in there, man No, I'm not a six guy. I don't know that's so I would I would go there personally. Okay, but I mean I How many people can say like they have like that's what's so I've got a my foundation or our community our family like on a On a Jordan one. Yeah, like that's that I mean, of course, I have to to go with that. I mean just because it's such a I don't know like I can't even think of the right way like the more I do this the more You know that we've been running this this raffle the last couple weeks like the more I realize how How special it is like there's and and to see what it represents definitely in the community that represents and How tinkers part of that and how he has wrapped his or taken his worldwide success and still kept it home Like that's it just means a lot. So Yeah, without getting too sentimental. Okay, I'm gonna pick the one Well, that's what's up And I yeah, hopefully in the future we can do some follow-ups with some of the students and here's some more stories and different Things like that as well. Well, so here's the thing to like tinker sign. Oh, yeah Like this is because it's sitting on the outside. Yeah, like so this is I mean you want to talk about like the holy grail of of Jordans like this is How many how many yeah, sure? There's only 275 of Of these that were made right, but there's only one that tinker sign right right like this is I can understand We talked a minute ago like I want to see people wearing those like if tinker like if Jordan signed a shoe I'm not gonna be wearing it like, you know, like tinker sign the shoe I probably wouldn't wear that either so I can understand like this being on a shelf.
