There are a number of "Tinker" Air Jordans in the works, some of which are inspired by another classic Nike sneaker. For instance, the upcoming Air Jordan 10 "Tinker" takes design cues from the Tinker-designed Nike Huarache Light "Ultramarine" colorway and the Air Jordan 6 "Tinker" is inspired by an original colorway of the Nike Air Trainer SC II.

Additionally, Jordan Brand has plans to release this newly unveiled Air Jordan 8 "Tinker," which serves as a nod to the beloved "Urban Jungle" Nike Air Raid. The kicks feature a black nubuck upper with Light Concord, Aloe Verde, and University Red accents reminiscent of the Air Raid's vibrant graphics. Additional details include a colorful chenille tongue logo, a green inner lining, a splash of yellow on the outsole and yellow “Live Together” text on the black heel tab

The special edition Air Jordan 8s have only just surfaced but it is already being reported that a release date has been pegged for December 22. It is believed the kicks will retail for $190.
