Great looking retro shoe from Nike. Tongue is a little long, but they are classy and very comfortable. Almost as comfortable as the Pegasus 35. Would give them 5 stars if it weren't for their subpar durability. I've had these for just shy of two months and wear them a few hours per day, maybe 3-4 days a week. Just noticed that there are now cracks on all 4 corners of the sole (see the photos). Very disappointing as these have not been abused. Nike needs to bring back the Pegasus '83, which in my opinion is probably the most comfortable and durable casual shoe Nike has ever made. I wouldn't waste my $90 on these again.

After reading about its history for quite some time, the original Nike Air Tailwind was always a fascinating shoe to me. The very first Nike with an airsole cushioning? I could imagine how special that must've been back in '79! I'm glad I finally got a pair and experienced the first air-sole shoe ever. These are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! Most shoes I have to get a half-size up or more due to my feet being wide, but I went true-to-size and they fit perfect! You can definitely feel the air-sole cushioning under your feet at work, mostly in the heel section. It gives a nice and soft ride with each step. Comfortable materials, perfect fit, and a responsive air-sole unit all equals out to being a great shoe for casual wear to me! It's great to see these legendary shoes come back out, thanks Nike! (P.S. As far as sizing, they might fit big for narrow feet so you may have to go a half-size down, maybe even a whole size for some people. But for wide footers, I'd suggest going true-to-size, these are very wide foot-friendly.)
