Nike Men's Black/White Air Tailwind 79 Sneakers, 487754 012

Nike Men's Black/Orange Air Tailwind 79 Sneakers, 487754-012

Description

The Nike Air Tailwind 79 returns in black with white detailing and Team Orange accents, keeping close to the materials, shape, and colors of the original 1978 racer. The Tailwind debuted at the Honolulu Marathon and was Nike's first shoe to feature Nike Air.

The upper combines textile with leather, with a Nike Air unit in the midsole for lightweight cushioning. A rubber Waffle outsole provides the traction pattern associated with the Tailwind's original design, while the lace-up closure keeps the construction straightforward.

The black-and-white base gives the shoe a clean retro running profile, while the Team Orange accents add contrast without changing the low-profile shape. It works naturally with straight-leg denim, black track pants, or other casual pieces that leave the silhouette visible.
