This weekend, the Portland chapter of TEDx Talks will be hosting its latest series of inspirational speeches from the creative and design industry's finest leaders. With past speakers including the likes of Tinker Hatfield, John Jay, Brian Grant and many others, this year's guests include former Jordan Design Director and Pensole Academy founder D'Wayne Edwards, musician and sneaker collector Macklemore and several others.

To celebrate the 2014 TEDx show's "PERFECT" theme, the TEDx team has partnered with Nike on a collaboration atop what many consider to be the perfect shoe of the industry's most iconic signature series, the Air Jordan 1.
