Kobe 11 muse pack: tinker hatfield honors greatness

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Today #kobebryant is a muse, but growing up Bryant had his own hero. In addition to admiring Michael Jordan’s commitment to greatness both on and off the court, he was intrigued by the Jumpman’s signature line, which Jordan created in collaboration with #nike designer Tinker Hatfield. “Tinker has caused my parents a lot of headaches over the years,” Bryant recalls, “from being a kid and having to go find a bunch of Air Jordans.”

Among the line, however, Bryant had a particular favorite: “The Jordan IIIs were my all-time favorite, still my favorite to this day,” he asserts. “To be able to grow up and appreciate all the Jordans and then to actually sit with the man who designed those and kind of understand how he designed them the way he did, why he designed them the way he has... That’s amazing.”

Since joining the #nike family in 2003, Bryant has established his own design partnership with Hatfield’s protégé Eric Avar, whose ascension to elite designer has paralleled the player’s championship pedigree. Along the way, Bryant also developed a relationship with Hatfield that involves mutual respect for the other’s drive and creativity, including Bryant’s admiration of Hatfield’s evolution from architect to shoe designer. The journey comes full circle with the #kobe11 Tinker Muse.

The second shoe in the #kobe11 #musepack incorporates notable Jordan III details, including overall color blocking, perforations in the lower tongue and distinct red embroidery in the heel and tongue. Additionally, Hatfield added sharkskin-inspired heel counters as a tribute to Bryant’s fearlessness and appreciation for the mercurial creature.

The #kobe11 Tinker Muse is available in limited quantities beginning May 5 at #nike.com and select global retail locations. Stay tuned to News.Nike.com for details of the remaining #musepack shoe designed by Mark Parker.
