Nick Nurse Foundation announces anniversary capsule collection in collaboration with Dr. J

April 19, 2020

To celebrate their first anniversary, The Nick Nurse Foundation will be releasing a second, limited-edition, capsule collection in collaboration with Julius Erving, commonly known as “Dr. J”. Erving was appointed to the foundation’s board of directors in October 2020.

The collection features designs from Artur Dion, a 19-year-old student from Toronto, ON currently enrolled at Ryerson University. Dion is in his 2nd year, and is studying Graphic Communications Management all while running Hypexchange, an online sneaker/streetwear boutique.

 “Since joining our leadership team back in October, Dr. J has been dedicated to our mission and vision of supporting youth from underserved communities through music, sports, and literacy. This collection is super special to the both of us and will be benefiting organizations that are doing great work in the community. We’re excited to share this  with everyone.” said Nick Nurse. 

All proceeds from the sales of the collection will go towards supporting programs and social justice initiatives that empower families and youth from socially disadvantaged groups. By leveling the playing field, we hope to provide all youth with the necessary resources to become positive contributors to society.
