Highly Rated

Making its debut in 1978 for the Honolulu Marathon, the Nike Air Tailwind was a revolution in cushioning. Now, a racing icon returns with the Nike Air Tailwind 79, featuring nearly original materials and colours, plus the Nike Air unit that made it a winner.

  • 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.
