THE VISIONAIRY
Tinker Hatfield

A star of Bill Bowerman’s legendary University of Oregon track program, Tinker Hatfield began his career at Nike as a corporate architect in 1981. Four years later, he landed a job as a shoe designer by winning a 24-hour design contest, a position that he was, “Chomping at the bit to get into.” In 1987, Tinker famously exposed Air in his Air Max 1 design — an integral part of Nike’s “Revolutionary” Air Pack. The mastermind behind many of Nike’s most iconic products including Air Trainer, Air Safari, Huarache, Agassi footwear, and Air Jordan (III-XV, XX, XIIV, XV), Tinker’s creations are instantly recognizable for their unique ability to combine innovation with storytelling
