The Nike Air Tailwind made its debut at the Honolulu Marathon in 1978 and became available to the public in 1979, earning the distinction of being the pioneer shoe to incorporate Nike Air technology. Retaining the essence of the original design, the Air Tailwind 79 'Antarctica' sneaker, launched in June 2019, showcases a durable nylon upper safeguarded by a suede mudguard and heel overlay. The upper is complemented by leather Swooshes and a heel tab, which accentuates its appearance, while a Waffle-patterned outsole provides optimal traction and stability.
