Air Jordan XI Sketches Released

Following up the surprising riots and reactions to the XI release, Jordan designer Tinker Hatfield has decided to give shoeaholics a treat before the New Year.  Only four days after their triumphant release, Hatfield himself graced followers with design sketches from the popular kicks.  Check them out below.

It's incredibly cool to see what kind of work goes in to designing and developing a new sneaker.  It's comparable to watching the behind the scenes features of your favorite movie or checking out 24/7 on HBO.  All anyone sees is the finished product, so we find it refreshing to have Hatfield unravel some original artwork to appease the masses.
