First Look: Nike Air Max 1 Tinker ’Schematic’

Nike will be releasing another Air Max 1 inspired by Tinker Hatfield’s early design process with an upcoming “Schematic” version. Keeping things clean, this Nike Air Max 1 comes dressed in a White and Black color theme which is a tribute to Tinker Hatfield’s sketches from the 80s. This theme is placed throughout the White upper by way of the Black hits noted on Hatfield’s sketches of the silhouette in his notebook dating back to the late 80s. The White shoe is covered in Black outlining and detailing throughout. Finishing off the design is a text on the sockliner that reads “Schematic, Property Of Nike, Not For Resale,” and dual branding on the heels that read Nike Air and Tinker’s signature.
Look for the Nike Air Max 1 Tinker “Schematic” to release this September 2019 at select retailers and Nike.com.
