Nike's AM Tailwind 4 gained a reputation as a top-notch running shoe with exceptional cushioning features following its launch in 1999, making it the final installment of the Air Max Tailwind series from the 90s. In June 2019, the brand introduced the Nike Air Max Tailwind 4 SP 'Sandtrap' sneaker, which offered a fresh take on the beloved classic by replacing the traditional mesh and leather upper with durable ripstop nylon material. The chunky rubber sole of this revamped version features prominent Max Air units that are easily visible, while the entire design is adorned with a speckled finish.
