Nike Air Yeezy Tinker Hatfield Edition
Posted by vulkan | Jun 23, 2008 The much anticipated Nike Air Yeezy has a new special make up color way making the rounds on the forums. Mark Smith has customized a pair of Yeezy’s for the man himself Tinker Hatfield which he also designed with Kanye West. The pair is mostly gray with a orange brim on the top of the upper, and Carolina blue strap. The most intriging part of the shoe is the symbols on the strap that tell the story of Tinkers career.

THE SOLES ARE FROM THE IIIS NOT IVS AND THESE SUCK. IF THEY HAVE A RED COLORWAY ILL BUY THEM BUT THESE LOOK LIKE SOME NIKE TERRA, GOADOME, ACG BOOTS OR SOMETHING AND KAYNE WEST SUX; ID RATHER LISTEN TO HOUSE OF PAIN
Jun 26, 2008 at 10:41 pm
To nikeinthebutt…lol I know I’m not a hypebeast cus I don’t got enuff money lol.
Jun 25, 2008 at 8:13 pm
“the sole is identical to the 4’sâ€
more like the 3’s
Jun 24, 2008 at 11:23 pm
I’d cop that colorway for some reason.
Jun 24, 2008 at 11:13 pm
WHEN DO THEY DROP FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jun 24, 2008 at 9:14 pm
““the sole is identical to the 4’sâ€. well that’s what happens when you do a colabo, some parts look like other shoes. E.JAX just appreciate da kicks.”
Who said 4s? I missed that. Anyway its the air revolution/jordan 3/even more im not thinking of sole.

Jun 24, 2008 at 8:11 pm
They cool but the thrill is gone no more HYPED about these than about the Kanye’s
Jun 24, 2008 at 6:50 pm
ugly
Jun 24, 2008 at 6:11 pm
35. These shoes are sweet! I don’t know why people don’t like these…anyway I’ll get them whenever they come out! My b-day is in feb so…and I’m not a hype beast, don’t even know what that is lol…

^^^ If you don’t know what a hypebeast is then how do you know you aren’t one??? I’m sayin…
Anyway…I don’t dislike the shoe—just getting tired of the obvious play to build ‘hype’…okay it was cool at first and stirred up the expected about of excitement—now it’s time for Nike to either come with the product or *yawn*

Not feelin the air yeezys,not feelin Kanye West either,he’s just not hard enough for these cold streets.I know if I like a shoe the instint I see it and I never felt this shoe.Some shoes grow on you over time, but not this one.
Jun 24, 2008 at 2:39 pm
You have a MCFly picture on the Tinker Air Yeezy Post. o.o
Jun 24, 2008 at 11:17 am
These are not cool lookig at all, I know you guys may be fans of Kanye West but come on, Tinker could’nt make these shoes sell based on their look alone. Very ugly shoe.
Jun 24, 2008 at 11:15 am
Looks like a pair of jordan wrestling shoes.
Jun 24, 2008 at 10:28 am
lose the print in the blue and the pink behind the tounge
liked the other colorways over these any day

“Wasnt that what they thought when they showed the XIs over a year too early? Not comparing these to the XIs but as long as people are still watching Kanye these are gonna go sell through the roof whenever they release.” - BKost
Great point. The only difference though, imo, was the MJ played every night up until the release wearing the shoes and Kanye’s tour won’t be running until next Feb (when i heard the shoes were releasing).
Supposedly the original plan was for Kanye to wear these shoes and for everyone to ask about them but not for him to give everyone an up close and personal look at them. Somewhat of a parallel to MJ and the XIs now that I look at it.
Jun 24, 2008 at 10:02 am
there Ok i’d maybe pass on them if they came out
Jun 24, 2008 at 10:00 am
exclusive
Jun 24, 2008 at 9:24 am
My money will probably go towards a pair of Hyperdunks before these (esp those McFly’s if I can get my hands on some)
And even then, I think I’d rather continue saving for another “grail” pair of Jordans.
Jun 24, 2008 at 9:14 am
THESE SHOES ARE UGLY THEY R REALLY UGLY. I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS SO NICE ABOUT THESE SHOES THEY LOOK HORRIBLE,STOP ACTING LIKE YALL REALLY WANT THESE SHOES TO COME OUT. IF NIKE WANT TO RELEASE SOME SHOES RE-RELEASE THE KEN GRIFFERY 96, I WOULD KILL FOR THEM SHOES BUT NOT THESE UGLYS CRAP.

Jun 24, 2008 at 9:07 am
I dont hate the shoe, but theres just nothing that great about it to me. This colorway is nice at least.
Jun 24, 2008 at 9:04 am
^^^ I agree this will be true for sneakerheads who are really in the know but I think you are underestimating the droves of runny-nosed hypebeasts
Jun 24, 2008 at 8:37 am
Hands down my favorite colorway, but if Nike doesn’t plan on releasing these this year you can expect the hype to be extinct by the time they actually release.
Jun 24, 2008 at 7:58 am
personally, i am kinda tired of hearing about this shoe myself. it is being hyped too much for a shoe that aint really got much going on. looks like a souped up court force to me. lol. and its almost like, if you see someone with these on and they are not a celeb you kinda are thinking fakes. why are these so “hot” because of the name “yeezy”, its not even english. what is it, kanye west’s personal nike “kanyeezy”? or is it lil “weezy”, whats the deal with the name. i wouldn’t wear a kanye west nike. i don’t get it.
Jun 24, 2008 at 7:36 am
what’s the use of showing these to us if we cant get our hands on em
Jun 24, 2008 at 7:14 am
these are some dope shoes, dont know if i like the colors that much, but dope shoes.
Jun 24, 2008 at 6:45 am
Okay let me be the voice of reason…I don’t think these are that fantastic and I’m getting sick of the “Air Yeezy” hype already
Yes, they were cool when I first saw them but the more random shots that pop up…the more i’m losing enthusiasm! At this point i’m not interested unless I get a solid release date and a fresh colorway…HYPE KILLS
Jun 24, 2008 at 5:55 am
these are hot. i love everything about the shoe. hopefully NIKE will keep it going wit the nike’s you can rock casually and not just on the plywood.
Jun 24, 2008 at 2:15 am
2 fresh!!!!
Jun 24, 2008 at 12:36 am
sneakerhead3, you couldn’t have possibly thought those were real, did you? They’re, as of now, pretty much just a shoe that ONLY Kanye has. Anyone wearing a pair, they’re fakes.
Jun 24, 2008 at 12:06 am
These are dope! i am a HUGE Yeezy fan, but those are sick for tink
Jun 23, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Jun 23, 2008 at 11:57 pm
this is tha first air yeezy ive liked, and tha colorway is cold as hell, one of tha dopest sneakers ive seen in a minute. just plain sick.
Jun 23, 2008 at 11:43 pm
the shoe is pretty dope, but i need some release date info! if they even release to the public…
Jun 23, 2008 at 11:39 pm
THOSE ARE F**KING BADASS!
NICE COLORWAY.
Jun 23, 2008 at 11:17 pm
the sole is identical to the 4’s
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:55 pm
the best colorways are the black/red/glow inthe dark joints, the all grey’s and the khaki joints. hands down. he had the khakis on here in Houston for the concert and i was like “wow”. but yeah, when and IF they drop, i’m coppin.
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:51 pm
i saw someone at school with a pair ofair yeezys on i think. regardless great jorb. me personally i wish these shoes had some black in them but theyre great regardless. w0rk tomm0row gotta get my 12 year old money Xd
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:46 pm
one of the best shoes ive seen this year. it has the electric color accents up top, that baby blue for summer stuntin’ and the all white you can never go wrong. i wish those tinker p-rods that came out earlier were splashed with these colors. fresh.
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Dammmnnn outa all the ones that dropped these ones are the nicest. Them joints is ugly, but I gotta give it to Mark Smith on the design of these ones. That blue with the grey on all white. perfect …
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Dope, I’d like to see an up close pic of them so I can see the symbols….
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:18 pm
i like them. and please stop spamming nicekicks.with this first thing, its childish and has no meaning. some of you try to get slick by actually typing a real comment then putting first. congratulations on getting first comment. now you should get some sleep. you dont wanna be tired when they beat you up at school
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:06 pm
everyone always hates on the yeezy’s..personally I think they’re a great shoe, just if it was put to better colorways it would be more enjoyable/appealing to the eyes..
these aren’t half bad though
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:02 pm
MUST HAVE!! comin after Mark Smith. Hope it becomes a release… 1ST
Jun 23, 2008 at 10:02 pm
FIRST!!!
