728 days ago - by Bert Geyer - 11 comments

There is hardly much flattering to say concerning Tinker Hatfield that hasn’t already been uttered by sneakerheads around the globe. Approaching footwear design through the perspective of an architect, Hatfield has contributed unprecedented feats to Nike and Jordan Brand. He is most recognized by the public for his instrumental role in establishing the Nike Training program and constructing Air Jordan models that are touted as in a class of their own.

Footwear News interviewed Tinker concerning the soon-to-release Air Jordan 2010 and a few other Nike and Jordan topics. Click here to read a conversation with an accomplished veteran in his field.

This guy Tinker is the Michael Jordan of shoe design. Imagine if Tinker worked for Adidas or Reebok. What would that have done to the shoe game?

I purchased the 2010.
I must admit, by first sight of the sneaker; I was not pleased. After 20 minutes of “pure” examination, I bought the sneaker. It’s a sneaker that fits the times, it’s 2010 BABY!
The window pane makes the silhouette look different but suitable for the times. The color scheme is classic!
Honestly, enjoyed my purchase. The shoe feels great and has a lot of support.

@ e-money, I’m with you on your choice. Frankly, I’m looking forward to seeing the Jordan 2010 in person and mos def will cop a pair. I like the black and university blue the most though. Actually, I’ve gotten over the window and I prefer how it looks with the window rather than the samples without the window.

All I know is that its an upgrade from the 2009s!! Im still “wishy-washy” if im gonna cop though. The window is jus killin it for me but like most Jordan’s, they grow on you. Trust me, evrybody on my college campus hated my 11s when I first bought them- now it’s the greatest shoe of all time!
