  • (energetic dance music)

  • Push roller coaster

  • (energetic dance music)

  • - [Daniel] Alright we found Nike, slide.

  • Lincoln's goin' for it.

  • Whoa, you're zoomin'.

  • (laughter)

  • Nice job.

  • Alright, so where are we Lincoln?

  • - We're at Nike Headquarters.

  • - This is actually a parking garage and then just randomly

  • they have this cover and they have a slide.

  • Okay, he's determined to go faster.

  • Get a head start this time, bud.

  • (laughter)

  • - Hurts so bad.

  • - [Daniel] Your throat hurts from the slide?

  • - Yeah.

  • - We didn't sign the liability waver.

  • So this is the other side of where that slide is.

  • This is the parking garage for Nike Employees.

  • Growing up we didn't have very much money

  • and I always wanted a pair of Nike Air shoes.

  • The Jordan's came out.

  • I was born in 1980, so like when I was seven years old,

  • Air Max came out and then the Jordan's started coming out

  • not too long after that.

  • I would see kids at school that always had them,

  • and I always wanted them.

  • But I never had any until I was 17 years old and

  • it was the Air Max 97's,

  • that was the first ever Nike Air Shoe I ever had.

  • Tiger Woods and Phil Knight came out here

  • and they would have battles.

  • See that building over there, that says equality?

  • Phil Knight challenged Tiger,

  • "Hey, break a window on that building."

  • He hit it three times and he couldn't break a window,

  • but he did hit it.

  • And then this little tiny green over there.

  • There's that green that he landed it on.

  • Just to give you a perspective,

  • that's where they were hitting from.

  • Way down there on the other side of the field,

  • he hit his driver, all the way onto here.

  • Man I miss the old Tiger Woods, that guy could kill it.

  • (upbeat electronic dance music)

  • - That, right there, is made out of recycled shoes.

  • - [Daniel] Whoa, that whole thing?

  • - Yeah, and like all the outdoor basketball courts.

  • What?

  • - [Daniel] That's cool, that's cool.

  • - Recycled shoes, that's amazing.

  • - [Daniel] We should recycle our stuff,

  • and cut it, cut it open.

  • - No.

  • - [Daniel] But we could make a basketball court.

  • - Yeah!

  • (chill electro music)

  • - Okay, we just finished the tour of part of the campus,

  • this is like only one campus, there's so many things

  • to Nike here; what you think, Linc?

  • Your impression of Nike? - Amazing.

  • Amazing, I loved the basketball court.

  • - The basketball court's your

  • favorite, out of all that?

  • We are about to meet with Tinker Hatfield,

  • the man, the myth, the legend.

  • This is incredible, so Lincoln and the kids

  • get the front row.

  • (chill electronic music)

  • - We're walking on the foundation

  • of our entire being; the way we connect to the Earth

  • is by our shoes or by our bare feet;

  • start with the bottom of the shoe, so just going to

  • sort of quickly move through and

  • if you think about trying to design a shoe,

  • you know, you need to have a layer

  • underneath there that's soft.

  • (chill electro music)

  • Shoe done in under, I don't know how many.

  • (applause)

  • Another question?

  • - So we watched your Netflix series--

  • - [Tinker] You saw it?

  • - Yeah, and we saw that you did,

  • you went, you got your inspiration from the

  • Pompidou Museum, so we decided to go to Paris,

  • and actually see--

  • - [Tinker] No kidding!

  • - The, the museum. - Woah, that's pretty

  • impressive; did you ride the escalator up,

  • the glass escalator up?

  • - We didn't go up it, we saw from the outside

  • and it was really cool, so you saw that

  • and you decided to change it into a shoe,

  • so what other things should we like

  • look for to make the shoe meaningful and like.

  • - Oh well I think that's a great question

  • first of all because it's not that,

  • it's not always that easy to sort of find a story

  • that helps you design a product;

  • but I would, I think that you should be,

  • you should like, maybe an easy way to sort of describe

  • how you might go about doing it would be

  • what do you like, what's your favorite thing?

  • - I like playing sports.

  • - [Tinker] What's your favorite sport?

  • - Basketball. - Basketball; so.

  • What's your favorite team, you have a favorite team?

  • - I like Golden State and--

  • - Okay, so if you go down that sort of, like,

  • a list of things that are important to you,

  • you can end up at some point and go,

  • "You know what, I could be inspired

  • by Golden State or the Golden Gate Bridge.

  • So maybe my shoe is going to be the color

  • of the Golden Gate Bridge, and maybe it'll have

  • lines on it that kind of, look like all the cables

  • that hold up the bridge part that people drive on."

  • You know what I mean, like, you always look

  • for something that is interesting to yourself,

  • because it might be, it'll probably be interesting

  • to other people as well.

  • But anyway I think that's just a great way

  • to kind of get rolling, and you may even change

  • your mind halfway through the design, go,

  • "You know what, I don't like that Golden Gate Bridge

  • thing, maybe there's something else about."

  • (chill electro music)

  • - Uh, we have a race we're about to do, you may want to--

  • - Did I, did I just hear a race?

  • - [Coach] Yeah, we have a race.

  • - Wait a minute, alright, you know what,

  • let me cut this run short, let me get in on this race.

  • (chill electronic music)

  • - For the rest of your lives, you can say,

  • Matt Centrowitz, Olympic gold medalist,

  • whatever, I mean--

  • - Don't put this up on the internet, please.

  • (overlapping talking)

  • - Don't worry it is right now.

  • - Oh great. - He doesn't lose often,

  • but he lost today, so that was good,

  • thank you Centro.

  • (cheering, applause)

  • I am not allowed to lie to any of you,

  • our job as a coach is very very simple;

  • it's that when you show up for practice,

  • you leave a better version of yourself.

  • The cool thing about what all of you are doing

  • is you're adding positivity in people's lives

  • every single day; that is a very, very important

  • job, that's a really hard thing to do.

  • Because everybody needs some of it in their lives

  • and you guys do it, so one, thank you very much

  • for doing what you do, because there are people

  • around the world who for whatever reason,

  • they get to watch you and they get to smile,

  • and sometimes that's the only smile they have all day.

  • (chill electronic music)

  • - [Daniel] So this is it, this is the suite.

  • - Yep, suite 41, get that.

  • - 41, if you need us, that's where we'll be.

  • That's where we were, this is where we are.

  • It's a lot higher, but it's cozy, there's food,

  • it's a suite and Nike, thanks to Nike for this

  • awesome suite. - Yes.

  • (upbeat electronic music)

  • (cheering)

  • (screaming)

  • - Overtime, yes!

  • I called it, overtime baby!

  • Home team wins, I called overtime but it was like

  • near the end of the first quarter.

  • - He called it, he called it.

  • - You heard it, he heard it, so at least there's that.

  • That was fun, that was a fun game, I didn't expect

  • Sixers and Blazers to be that good, but it was good.

  • What's that, why is there--

  • - Welcome to Portland.

  • - [Daniel] What is this?

  • - You can design your own shoes,

  • find what's inside things, show you what's inside

  • the Air Max Zeros, see some stuff that you might know about.

  • - So that's right, tomorrow Lincoln's going to design

  • his own shoe; by the time this video comes out,

  • you guys already have seen his shoe,

  • we haven't seen it yet, so that's cool,

  • Lincoln, right, it's already been designed,

  • according to these people.

  • We have no idea, what master brilliant shoe idea

  • is in Lincoln's mind right now.

  • But as of this time I guess the voting is open,

  • so you guys can vote, click on the link in the

  • description and you can go vote for Lincoln's shoe.

  • - Yes, please, please vote for me,

  • like I really want my shoe to be in stores,

  • don't you want to buy the shoe that I designed?

  • - That would be cool, and it's only possible

  • if he gets enough votes, and there's some tough

  • competition, these other influencers

  • are our friends, and they're awesome,

  • and I hope any of them win, but if you want

  • to give Lincoln a vote, that would be cool.

  • - Please. - So get ready for tomorrow,

  • and you'll see the making of the Lincoln

  • Nike Air Max, it's coming to you fresh tomorrow.

  • - Please do it. - There's some other

  • cool things that are happening tomorrow,

  • so I hope you like this video, I hope it was super

  • long because it was a long day and it was
