Jordan Brand aims to bring yet another one of Tinker Hatfield’s sketches to life with the Air Jordan 1 Pollen “Tinker”. The similarities to the Air Jordan 1 Pollen are quite apparent, with the dimpled nylon upper and the paw-inspired outsole clearly being represented into this unreleased version, but based on the legendary architect’s sketches dated August 22nd, 1996, this alternate version utilizes a mid-foot strap and an overall lower-cut profile. Additionally, the jewel piece on the heel has more of a triangular shape compared to the eye-shaped sphere on the current model. These are slated to release later this Fall, and it wouldn’t be surprising if these dropped on the day the sketch was completed – August 22nd. See photos of two colorways ahead.
