OFFICIAL NIKE A I R M A X ZER0 THREAD ** The One Before The 1 **

Im telling you tinker is just so humble it bothers me. He has like a "well, I was just doing my job" attitude about literally saving Nike from dying out and jordan leaving. His response to my comment just had me blown away really.

Oh yeah I skipped the whole air jordan 3 thing. So after the presentation he was supposed to leave, but he decided to stick around and mingle with everyone that was in the box.

Lately in life I've been on that "seize the moment" attitude. If I see someone whether it be a girl, celebrity, radio DJ I enjoy listening to, I'll approach them just to share my thoughts on their work. That being said , I quickly went up to tinker , and I'll try to paraphrase what we talked about, I hope I do his character justice.

Mecks: "Hey Tinker, I know were here to celebrate the Air Max line, but I just had to come up to you and say, I guess, thank you for designing and making the Air Jordan 3. I love the history of the shoe and ever since I was younger I remember seeing them and wanting them as a kid, but you know I couldn't just ask my mom to buy me $120 shoes. now I'm an adult and I can buy whatever I want , and that shoe to me is an amazing shoe.

Tinker: "Ah, yes the air jordan 3. You know that shoe is special to me too. It was during a time I was barely designing shoes at Nike. I was just lucky to be able to work with Michael Jordan during that time, because he was something special. I'm just happy I was there to be able to create something special with him. Which model did you end up liking?"

Necks: "Aw man, definatwly the white/cement 3, I fell in love with the 2003 retro, but as you know now they're so old i can't really buy them anymore without being scared of them breaking down. I have about 6 pairs that I keep just to be able to have another pair when I beat up my current pair. Just so I can have my next pair fresh!"

Tinker: "You know, what I love about the shoes I've made, is the stories people tell me. People always have a certain story or moment that goes with each shoe. I should be thanking you for buying the shoes. Without you I wouldn't have been able to do what I did at jordan brand."

After this some other people came up and interrupted. Later on I asked for the picture when he was walking outside to leave.

I know we're on jordans and such... But me personally i would love to get his feed on how it was designing the air yeezy.

That would be interesting for me personally

I would be tight if I ever got that. Heck I never received any email from them other than the initial order placement one.

Did you talk to the reps? I talked to them twice before i got the email about it. Did you get any status updates? I am just crossing my fingers these bad boys come thru.
 
Out of the 20 or so retailers that had these - domestic and abroad, I still managed to strike out. Smh. I'm guessing they only made a handful of 14s and 15s. I haven't seen either size available except on NDC.

I wonder what time you would be a good time to arrive at the Air Max box In LA on Saturday. I heard the line was crazy long to get in on Thursday

went this morning around 11AM right when it opened...wait was about 1:15. Honestly, it wasn't that bad if it wasn't for the sun, so bring some sunscreen and something to sip on...talking with other peeps who got there, it sounds like 9:45AM might be a good time to show up.
