Biography
Over the years, the design of footwear has been constantly changing and evolving, often taking turns that you wouldn’t normally expect in its form and, sometimes, function.
While there are many people who work on redesigning and reinventing the timeless articles of clothing, there are few people who have truly put their name on the top of the list and left their mark on history. American vice-president of Nike and footwear designer Tinker Hatfield is one of the few people who have found their success in the world of design and creation in athletic shoes and related apparel.
Not even starting out anywhere near design, Hatfield grew up as an athlete, excelling in sports such as basketball, track-and-field, hurdles, and pole vaulting. With his talent in sports earning him a the distinction of being named the top individual high school athlete in the state of Oregon, it wasn’t a big surprise to learn that he soon found himself with a full athletic scholarship to the University of Oregon. It was there in the university where Hatfield was privileged to meet one of the few men who would help him shape his life for the better, and that person was Bill Bowerman.
