  • Good but

    The shoes is of great quality. I’m not 100% sure if it’s made to walk/stand on your feet for 5 plus hours. I love the shoes just can’t wear it to work

  • Love ‘em but soles wear too fast

    On my third pair. Keep buying them hoping and praying the soles will wear longer. They don’t. The protruding squares wear down after about three months of use in the highest wear areas of the sole. Original materials indeed. Everything else about this shoe I love, love, love. Style, colorways, fit, comfort. Very comfortable without too much cushioning to the point of not being able to feel the pavement. Might have to move to the 89 Pegasus or Internationalist just because of the sole.

Undefeated by Time

Brought back to its near-original design, this version of the Nike Air Tailwind throws it back to the materials, shape and colors of its original debut in the 1978 Honolulu Marathon.

Cushioning for the Distance

The Tailwind was the first shoe to feature Nike Air. This version keeps that heritage alive with an Air-Sole unit that provides lightweight cushioning that feels amazing with every step.

Enduring Look and Feel

The textile and leather upper provides comfortable support with the classic look of a race icon. Feel like a winner. Look like a champion.
