The Nike Air Mariah made its first appearance at the Moscow marathon trials in 1980, becoming the brand's newest addition to the Air cushioning technology that was initially introduced with the Air Tailwind. This particular 2010 edition takes advantage of the Air Mariah's nostalgic charm by featuring a classic color combination of white, purple, and teal that closely resembles the original design's paneling. The sneaker is easily identified by the 'Air Mariah' lettering on the tongue and the prominent Swoosh logo.
