Dark Tonal Sport-Fusing Sneakers

Tinker Hatfield Joins Nike on a Zoom Court Dragon Sneaker

— April 13, 2022 — Lifestyle
Tinker Hatfield works in collaboration with Nike to showcase the new special Nike Zoom Court Dragon sneaker model for this season. The iconic footwear designer turns his attention to 90s basketball and tennis footwear as the inspiration behind the latest look. The sneaker is based on a black mesh foundation for breathability and simplicity.

It is accented with a scale print over the toe box overlaying detail that follows through to the vamp area. The upper is also accented with midfoot straps that cross over the forefoot to help secure the lacing system even further. The rest of the shoe features Swoosh branding and special tongue tags that nod to Tanker Hatfield. Rounding out the sneaker are the TPU heel guards.
