Justin Timberlake's relationship with Jordan Brand can be dated all the way back to 2013 when the brand created a collection of exclusive Air Jordan styles for his "Legends of Summer" tour with Jay-Z, but it sounds like there was a chance that he could've gotten his very own Jordan model.
As the latest guest on Complex's hit series Hot Ones, he revealed that he was in discussion with the brand and designer Tinker Hatfield about reworking two or three silhouettes as well as possibly creating his own sneaker. Additional details regarding the discussion were not disclosed, so it's uncertain if the talks are ongoing.
"There was a moment where Tinker [Hatfield] and the brand were going to make a new shoe for me for a tour," Timberlake recalled. "Our first meeting, Tinker was kind of sitting there and we're talking about inspiration, where we're headed, who are your idols, and he came back six months later and that's when we started talking about an actual sneaker. There are probably two or three other ones that we've talked about reworking or sort of innovating."
Jordan Brand did introduce the Air Jordan 3 "Tinker" in 2018, although the design wasn't specifically linked to Timberlake but was instead inspired by an original sketch of the popular model. Timberlake got his own version of the Jordan 3 Tinker dubbed "JTH," which he debuted at the NFL Super Bowl LII halftime show and new colorways were available throughout his "Man of the Woods" tour.
