Tinker Hatfield’s fingerprints are all over Nike’s history. His work with the Air Jordan line, coming up with every silhouette from the AJ3 to the AJ15, is legendary. His innovations on Nike Air Max sneakers, creating the Air Max 1 and the Air Max 90, influenced an entire generation of kicks. He’s the mind behind the Nike Air Mag and the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0, the Swoosh’s self-lacing sneaker.Hatfield also counts the Nike Air Trainer SC II as one of his designs. It’s a cross-training sneaker made for Bo Jackson, one of the best athletes of all time. Jackson was an elite football and baseball player and he needed a versatile silhouette that could be used in his workouts to prepare for both the gridiron and for the diamond.
Michael Jordan was seen in that SC II colorway at a basketball camp in the summer of ’89.
