Anytime we get a chance to pick the brains of iconoclasts and visionaries, we should pay close attention. Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith, the two men at the helm of the Jordan Brand crusade, are in large part responsible for the absurd stacks of shoeboxes sitting in our closets. During the upcoming 2010 NBA All-Star game in Dallas, Jordan Brand will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Air Jordan Legacy with a commemorative exhibit, but you can get a sneak peak of the event today.
Take a look at the entire Air Jordan 25th Anniversary White Collection lined up neatly against the wall, along with a number of exhibits set up like a museum showcase of ancient artifacts and relics like old sketches, notes, and materials. In addition to the great eye candy is an in-depth interview with Hatfield and Smith, in which you’ll find out what Tinker Hatfield designs other than sneakers and what his opinion is on the direction of Jordan Brand, and Mark Smith’s explanation of the new Air Jordan 23/25 logo. Check the images after the jump and read the entire interview over at SoleCollector.

i like that note that says that MJ needs to be more visible.
it almost seems like MJ doesnt even give any input on jordans. it feels like he just lets JB do all the work as he just sits back and collects the paycheck.
He should atleast come out in a comercial adverising these or do something. He doesnt have to do much, just walk by like he did in the xx2 comercial
MJ at least do something! Or you know where JB is headed

Sorry, I meant to say the xx1 comercial

no wonder the twenty ten sucks:
“Hatfield: No, this was pretty fun, and I didn’t even have to work that hard, either. [laughs].”
