Nike supports IWISHUSUN! The sportswear brand used the occasion of this year’s Solemart – Germany’s biggest sneaker event where private buyers and sneaker fans are invited to buy selected pairs from numerous brands – to do good once again.
True to IWISHUSUN’s motto “It’s good for you and good for others”, Nike donated the entire profits of the sales to the charity label. The entire sum has been handed over to our partner ORBIS International: with this money the non-profit organisation will be able to finance 237 cataract operations in the Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute in Bangladesh which will be supported directly.
39 million people worldwide suffer from blindness. Thanks to support from Nike and all the buyers, there will be 237 less now!
Many thanks to Nike for their generous support!

Last Sunday, 8 September 2013, the Solemart – Germany’s biggest sneaker event – invited private buyers and sneaker fans in to buy selected pairs from numerous brands. There were plenty of rarities to be had too. Sneakers Magazine used the event as an opportunity to empty a further section of the Nike Berlin archive at the same time as supporting a good cause, true to IWISHUSUN’s motto “It’s good for you and good for others”, donating the entire profits of the sales to the charity label.
5,300 euros were raised – the entire sum will be handed over to our partner ORBIS International: with this money the non-profit organisation will be able to finance around 170 cataract operations in the largest and oldest hospital in Bangladesh, the Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute.
