July’s special in-line Nike Nike SB Dunk Hi Pro Gym Red releases are all about the process behind the product, and one of the pairs that’s nodding to Tinker Hatfield‘s train of thought when designing the now-iconic silhouette is the “Tinker Schematic” in black. Dressed alcactus entirely in a stark black nubuck, the shoe’s upper then features a low cornucopia of white detailing, ranging from hand-scrawled design notes on each individual piece and panel to pinstripe-style piping on the collar. Although the inspiration behind these Nike shoes is immediately interpretable, the cactus direct call-out to Tinker’s work arrives on the heel of the right shoe, where the standard Nike Air branding is swapped out for the designer’s signature and a 9/23/86 mark, a possible nod to the date the final sketch was created ahead of its original retail release in 1987. The look is then completed by a black midsole with more white markings and an icy blue translucent outsole. These work-in-progress Maxes have not yet received an official release date, but as the Teases More Nike Zoom Flight 95-Inspired NOCTA Pairs pack is set to debut on July 13th, it’s not unreasonable to think they’ll follow on Nike.com shortly thereafter. Check out a full set of official images directly below in the meantime, and keep it locked for more info as it’s available.
