Tinker Hatfield recently discussed the Nike Air MAG and all of its components ranging from the idea to the history of the Air MAG with Marcus Troy. Tinker also went into detail about how even Nike employees — including himself — aren't guaranteed a pair.

"We’re really limiting, or actually, eliminating the whole practice of just giving shoes away to VIPs and whatnot. People have to bid for them, they need to pay for them or do something really, really super-special to get them. Whether or not I get a pair remains to be seen."

We applaud Tinker and the rest of Nike for keeping this release strictly for the Michael J. Fox foundation.
