Kobe 11 Tinker Muse

“Tinker has caused my parents a lot of headaches over the years” Kobe Bryant recalls, talking about his admiration for Nike's designer and the line he created with Michael Jordan. “The Jordan IIIs were my all-time favorite, still my favorite to this day” he adds.

Since joining the Nike family in 2003, Bryant has established his own design partnership with Hatfield’s protégé Eric Avar and developed a relationship with Hatfield, that involves mutual respect for the other’s drive and creativity. The journey comes full circle with the KOBE 11 Tinker Muse.

The second shoe in the Kobe 11 Muse Pack incorporates notable Jordan III details – including overall colour blocking, perforations in the lower tongue and distinct red embroidery in the heel and tongue. Additionally, Hatfield added sharkskin-inspired heel counters as a tribute to Bryant’s fearlessness and appreciation for the mercurial creature.
