Nike Air Tailwind 79 Shoes

Seen here in a fiery shade of red and cooling white, these Nike Air Tailwind 79 Shoes arrive as a celebratory release in honour of the classic profile’s 40 year legacy. Remaining loyal to its ageless track-based heritage, this low-profile sneaker delivers a 1:1 reflection of its predecessor in terms of both fabric and feel. Constructed with track red suede and sail white mesh uppers, the sole is fitted with a lightweight Nike Air unit for added cushioning, whilst the Waffle-fitted rubber outsole is designed to supply grippy traction no matter the terrain. Keeping it as close to the original silhouette as possible, flat white laces complement the colour-matched midsole, whilst vibrant red swoop-back Swooshes, an exposed-foam tongue and classic ‘80s ‘Nike’ branding is displayed across the heel collar and as a neatly stitched finish to the multi-stitch stacked tongue.

A profile that is still as popular as when it initially debuted during the 1978 Honolulu Marathon, the Nike Air Tailwind shoes effortlessly combine a life-long sporting legacy with Nike’s passion for reviving days-gone styling. Honouring the iconic profile as best it can, these uplifted street sneakers make for the perfect addition to any summer-specific wardrobe rotation.
