The Nike Air Tailwind 79 made its debut first during marathon season in 1978 before becoming available to the public a year later, and to celebrate this landmark running shoe 40 years later, the model is back featuring materials and colors as close to the original as possible. Covered in Vast Grey with Light Photo Blue, the sneaker features a mesh upper with suede overlays, along with a vintage foam tongue, thinner laces, and black waffle rubber outsole to top it all off.
