Nike Air Yeezy Tinker Hatfield Edition
 The much anticipated Nike Air Yeezy has a new special make up color way making the rounds on the forums. Mark Smith has customized a pair of Yeezy’s for the man himself Tinker Hatfield which he also designed with Kanye West. The pair is mostly gray with a orange brim on the top of the upper, and Carolina blue strap. The most intriging part of the shoe is the symbols on the strap that tell the story of Tinkers career.
Thanks to H-leung from hk-kicks.com for providing us with photos of these kicks. |

Comment by bmoore — June 23, 2008 @ 10:02 pm
everyone always hates on the yeezy’s..personally I think they’re a great shoe, just if it was put to better colorways it would be more enjoyable/appealing to the eyes..
these aren’t half bad though

Dammmnnn outa all the ones that dropped these ones are the nicest. Them joints is ugly, but I gotta give it to Mark Smith on the design of these ones. That blue with the grey on all white. perfect …

one of the best shoes ive seen this year. it has the electric color accents up top, that baby blue for summer stuntin’ and the all white you can never go wrong. i wish those tinker p-rods that came out earlier were splashed with these colors. fresh.

Comment by sneakerhead3 — June 23, 2008 @ 10:51 pm
the best colorways are the black/red/glow inthe dark joints, the all grey’s and the khaki joints. hands down. he had the khakis on here in Houston for the concert and i was like “wow”. but yeah, when and IF they drop, i’m coppin.
Comment by biggrizzly — June 23, 2008 @ 10:55 pm

These are dope! i am a HUGE Yeezy fan, but those are sick for tink
Comment by KristianDemian3 — June 24, 2008 @ 12:06 am
sneakerhead3, you couldn’t have possibly thought those were real, did you? They’re, as of now, pretty much just a shoe that ONLY Kanye has. Anyone wearing a pair, they’re fakes.
Comment by Darneezy — June 24, 2008 @ 12:36 am
2 fresh!!!!
Comment by E-MAN — June 24, 2008 @ 2:15 am
these are hot. i love everything about the shoe. hopefully NIKE will keep it going wit the nike’s you can rock casually and not just on the plywood.
Comment by J wats — June 24, 2008 @ 5:55 am
Okay let me be the voice of reason…I don’t think these are that fantastic and I’m getting sick of the “Air Yeezy” hype already
Yes, they were cool when I first saw them but the more random shots that pop up…the more i’m losing enthusiasm! At this point i’m not interested unless I get a solid release date and a fresh colorway…HYPE KILLS
Comment by nikeindabutt — June 24, 2008 @ 6:45 am
these are some dope shoes, dont know if i like the colors that much, but dope shoes.
Comment by YouKnow — June 24, 2008 @ 7:14 am
what’s the use of showing these to us if we cant get our hands on em
Comment by armand — June 24, 2008 @ 7:36 am
personally, i am kinda tired of hearing about this shoe myself. it is being hyped too much for a shoe that aint really got much going on. looks like a souped up court force to me. lol. and its almost like, if you see someone with these on and they are not a celeb you kinda are thinking fakes. why are these so “hot” because of the name “yeezy”, its not even english. what is it, kanye west’s personal nike “kanyeezy”? or is it lil “weezy”, whats the deal with the name. i wouldn’t wear a kanye west nike. i don’t get it.
Comment by princeofthecity — June 24, 2008 @ 7:58 am
Hands down my favorite colorway, but if Nike doesn’t plan on releasing these this year you can expect the hype to be extinct by the time they actually release.
Comment by Nice Kicks — June 24, 2008 @ 8:37 am
^^^ I agree this will be true for sneakerheads who are really in the know but I think you are underestimating the droves of runny-nosed hypebeasts
Comment by nikeindabutt — June 24, 2008 @ 9:04 am
I dont hate the shoe, but theres just nothing that great about it to me. This colorway is nice at least.

“I think you are underestimating the droves of runny-nosed hypebeasts”
Wasnt that what they thought when they showed the XIs over a year too early? Not comparing these to the XIs but as long as people are still watching Kanye these are gonna go sell through the roof whenever they release.
Comment by BKost — June 24, 2008 @ 9:09 am
THESE SHOES ARE UGLY THEY R REALLY UGLY. I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS SO NICE ABOUT THESE SHOES THEY LOOK HORRIBLE,STOP ACTING LIKE YALL REALLY WANT THESE SHOES TO COME OUT. IF NIKE WANT TO RELEASE SOME SHOES RE-RELEASE THE KEN GRIFFERY 96, I WOULD KILL FOR THEM SHOES BUT NOT THESE UGLYS CRAP.
Comment by M.V.H.305 — June 24, 2008 @ 9:14 am
My money will probably go towards a pair of Hyperdunks before these (esp those McFly’s if I can get my hands on some)
And even then, I think I’d rather continue saving for another “grail” pair of Jordans.

Comment by Sneaker King — June 24, 2008 @ 10:00 am

Great point. The only difference though, imo, was the MJ played every night up until the release wearing the shoes and Kanye’s tour won’t be running until next Feb (when i heard the shoes were releasing).
Supposedly the original plan was for Kanye to wear these shoes and for everyone to ask about them but not for him to give everyone an up close and personal look at them. Somewhat of a parallel to MJ and the XIs now that I look at it.
Comment by Nice Kicks — June 24, 2008 @ 10:25 am
lose the print in the blue and the pink behind the tounge
liked the other colorways over these any day
Comment by yung albino — June 24, 2008 @ 10:28 am
Looks like a pair of jordan wrestling shoes.
Comment by K Dash — June 24, 2008 @ 11:15 am
These are not cool lookig at all, I know you guys may be fans of Kanye West but come on, Tinker could’nt make these shoes sell based on their look alone. Very ugly shoe.
Comment by Retro 3 — June 24, 2008 @ 11:17 am
You have a MCFly picture on the Tinker Air Yeezy Post. o.o
Comment by androol — June 24, 2008 @ 2:39 pm
Not feelin the air yeezys,not feelin Kanye West either,he’s just not hard enough for these cold streets.I know if I like a shoe the instint I see it and I never felt this shoe.Some shoes grow on you over time, but not this one.
Comment by Rob528 — June 24, 2008 @ 5:10 pm
These shoes are sweet! I don’t know why people don’t like these…anyway I’ll get them whenever they come out! My b-day is in feb so…and I’m not a hype beast, don’t even know what that is lol…

35. These shoes are sweet! I don’t know why people don’t like these…anyway I’ll get them whenever they come out! My b-day is in feb so…and I’m not a hype beast, don’t even know what that is lol…
Comment by Boogie — June 24, 2008 @ 6:01 pm
^^^ If you don’t know what a hypebeast is then how do you know you aren’t one??? I’m sayin…
Anyway…I don’t dislike the shoe—just getting tired of the obvious play to build ‘hype’…okay it was cool at first and stirred up the expected about of excitement—now it’s time for Nike to either come with the product or *yawn*
Comment by nikeindabutt — June 24, 2008 @ 6:11 pm
ugly
Comment by greenmaker24 — June 24, 2008 @ 6:50 pm
They cool but the thrill is gone no more HYPED about these than about the Kanye’s
Comment by solesaved — June 24, 2008 @ 8:11 pm
“the sole is identical to the 4’s”. well that’s what happens when you do a colabo, some parts look like other shoes. E.JAX just appreciate da kicks.
