THE LEGEND HIMSELF - TINKER HATFIELD

In a candid and in depth conversation from his Portland studio, Tinker reflects on everything from building the legendary Air Jordan sneaker line alongside MJ, to designing the Nike Air MAG’s for Back to the Future II. He also shares his thoughts on staying young and how he uses motorcycles and music as part of his creative process.

Ever since I was a kid, the things I was always most interested in were basketball, sneakers and art and design. So, having the opportunity to meet Tinker and talk about his iconic career was truly special for me.

Special thanks to Tinker and his assistant for making it happen. Thanks to Kyle and the guys at Hypebeast for the help launching this. Additional gratitude to Greg Riffenburg of Nike, Garrett Kai, and Cycle World magazine.
