Tinker Hatfield's Original Air Jordan XI Sketches

[sosickening]

I always thought they looked like Spats (not knowing that was the name though), atleast the Concords. That's why they were called "dress shoes for the court"

These could've EASILY failed lol

I have all those sketches in a Nike Basketball book. I need to dig that up.

It's amazing Nike/JB hasn't make all of these shoes... yet.

My thoughts exactly

If this design would have came out it would have been way before its time. These are clean tho

would be nice to see a finished version.

Interesting that you guys like it. I think the drawings are actually pretty cool myself, nothing touches the final XI, but still. Funny thing is if JB released these as a "11.0" everyone would trash it

Lol. First thing that came to mind for me on the straps were the ITZ's, Bobby Hurley line.
