Jaydens Shoes - Jayden A. Bird Foundation was formed in honor of the life of Jayden A. Bird, who was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of eighteen in September 2023. Jayden touched and inspired so many people. He had a gentle soul and a loving heart. Jayden had a natural gift for making everyone feel accepted, loved, and part of a group. Jayden expressed before passing away that he wanted youth athletes who were in need to have the athletic shoes they wanted and needed to play sports. We aim to provide that for them to honor Jaydens desire and legacy.
