If you've owned, loved, or bought a pair of Jordan's chances are they were designed by this man. Tinker Hatfield is the biggest name in the sneaker world today with shoes like Jordan I, XI, XII's, etc under his belt. He originally joined Nike in 1981 and designed his first shoe in 1985. Tinker was part of the design of the Jordan I's which were released that year also. As many may know the Jordan I's were outside of the NBA's regulations so Jordan was fined $5,000 every game he wore them. He also designed the Jordan II's which were the first pair of Nike sneakers at the time without the "swoosh". Tinker Hatfield now runs Nikes "Innovation Kitchen".
