Air Jordan 4 Tattoo

Designed by Tinker Hatfield and released on 29 December 2018 as part of the Air Jordan 4 line. This release has a leather upper in Black/Fire Red/Black/White. A tattoo themed Air Jordan 4 is the line admitting what it has been for decades: a surface people mark. The 4 comes from Tinker Hatfield's run, which began at the third model and turned the series into a design language with its own vocabulary of prints, textures and hardware, and it has since become one of the two or three silhouettes that artists and designers reach for first. Ink drawn graphics on a basketball shoe make explicit the relationship the brand already had with body art, music and street culture, a relationship that began when the shoes started appearing in hip hop verses rather than in sports coverage.
