Hmmm.... good question

Especially, shoes that have some design modifications like the IX. I think they should keep going, but the shoes need to have something other than just different color blocking. Even though I dont like the 13 "prototype", I like the idea.

Very true. I think the importance of Tinker's early designs gets overshadowed by all the 50 million releases Jordan Brand is putting out. This stuff just gets thrown in the mix. I think it could be much better as far as launch and storytelling. Instead, it's like, hey these are Tinker's early designs now buy it.
