“Work in progress” is an all to well known terminology for creatives and artist alike. To embody such an idea sensibly enough to be a fashionable piece of must have footwear can only have been inspired by the tinkerer himself.

Fashioned in a scribbled university red color-way and accented with Tinker’s “annotations” have made these shoes a must have for any true Air Max fan. The uppers feature a simple mesh, while the usual branding of the “Air Max” in the rear heel have been replaced by Tinker’s signature along with the date of completion for the “Sketch To Yourself” pack.

Personally, I’m not sure which to reach for regarding Tinker Hatfield’s introduction into infamy. Whether it be his iconic design for Micheal Jordan’s retro 3 or damn near Every Air Max ever! He dishes out gems to this day that have and will continue inspire and provide exceptional performance for generations to come.

In retrospect (pun intended.) considering Hatfields impeccable work ethic, his blueprints for shoe excellence deserves to be put on display in a museum. I guess us sneaker heads will make do sporting his genius around town, ten toes down!
