>>ILLUSTRATIONS - TINKER HATFIELD'S ORIGINAL AIR JORDAN XI SKETCHES

My nephew <b>Eric aka</b> <b>DJ Erock</b>, my oldest brother's son owns countless of <b>Air Jordans</b>. Too many to mention but I always know what his latest purchases are thru his FB posts.  Makes me wonder where he stores them all, so next time when I visit him I'll have to see.... [smiles] he has the same guilty pleasures as me, in that we both love SHOES!<br /><br />I couldn't resist reposting his FB post yesterday of some the original <b>Air Jordan XI sketches</b> from genius <b>Tinker Hatfield</b>.
