AIR JORDAN 3 THE ICONIC SKIN ELEPHANT

Hi everyone, it's me again and I'm here to talk as the title says about air jordan 3, maybe the most recognized and loved model of all.

The AIR JORDAN 3 debuted in the game of the stars of 1988, which was held in CHICAGO, Michael was the star of the game scoring 40 points, 3 assists and 4 steals having won the dunk competition against Dominique Wilkins, premiering the White Cement Michael He did not want to lose, much less be in Chicago, make his flight from the free-throw line or gravity or Wilkins could stop him.

But first you have to talk about him as responsible for creating them TINKER HATFIELD, it was 1987 and he had just created another pair that would go down in history, the AIR MAX 1.. Being a commercial success, Nike was going through a bad economic moment, the vice president of that time ROD STRASSER The person responsible for hiring and maintaining Michael on Nike had just resigned and a few weeks later it was the resignation of PETER MOORSE, designer of air jordan 1 and 2, both thought that leaving Jordan would go with them .

INKER had never worked for a jordan model, had only worked 5 years as a designer for Nike, but his thinking was out of the ordinary, Michael and Tinker did not know each other and had only a week to present the design of the shoes. . . . , that time Jordan was ready to leave the company, he came from 2 designs that were not completely to his liking and also the two main pillars of the brand had simply left and he did not like to start from scratch with a new design team, knowing this tinker took a plane to Chicago, to know jordan as a human being, what he likes to do, what he did in his spare time, with the mission of preventing Michael from leaving Nike, the principle of architecture, is, before building a house, you must know the people who will live in it and tinker as an architect that is, I apply this principle.

Listening to michael's ideas and what he wanted, such as to continue using exotic skins, to be lighter and to look good on and off the courts, being ready to play even fresh out of the boxes, after an entire afternoon to go out and buy clothes with michael and discover their good taste and also aesthetic sense.

So Tinker became something more than a designer, but a collaborator, someone who could translate all his ideas, looking for the materials for the shoe, found one that looked like the skin of elephants and also decided with a treated skin that before it had been used and looking at the files that Moorse had left behind, got the silhouette of Michael jump to the point of dunkear and without thinking twice placed it in the middle of the tongue as a sign that it was the most important.

In the meeting to present air jordan 3 were chaffred hatfield, parents of michael, all had to wait for jordan I arrived late 4 hours to play golf with strasser and moorse, with ideas to take it, michael went to the meeting by commitment and not by See what Tinker was going to present, Hatfield started asking him questions about what you said about the weight, height and texture of the skin? And when did you show me your Italian shoes? and as he wanted something with the same style for the parket, when he said this he showed him the sketches of the ideas he had had

But Michael just wanted to see the shoes, Tinker discovered them and Michael realized they had everything he wanted, the silhouette, the weight, the visible air chamber was all there and the rest is history.

Using this pair he won in the MVP 87 and 88 of the games of the stars, MVP of the season, won the mattes contest, maximum robberies, top scorer of the season and defender of the year.
