Tinker Hatfield was the greatest Jordan designer

Posted October 18th, 2009.

One of the things to do on my Bucket List is to find the person that designed my favorite pair of new Jordans and give him an award of some sort.  I can remember being so anxious for any new Jordan release dates that he designed.  I think that Tinker Hatfielfd is one of the most creative and inspirational shoe designers of all time.  He has done so much for the Jordan Brand image, and virtually saved Michael Jordan from leaving Nike after the Jordan I and Jordan II were retail failures.  Although the Retro I and Retro II have made huge comebacks ten to fifteen years after their original release, the Tinker Hatfield shoes (Retro 3 through… I forget) are all mega classics.
