The Air Tailwind, Nike's initial model incorporating the groundbreaking Nike Air technology, initially made its debut during the Honolulu marathon in 1978 and was subsequently launched in 1979. Recently reintroduced in June 2019, the Nike Air Tailwind 79 'Pacific Blue' sneaker showcases a nylon textile upper, strengthened by a suede mudguard and heel overlay. The midfoot prominently features vividly colored leather Swooshes, and the outsole incorporates Waffle-inspired traction for enhanced grip.
