Nike Air Tailwind – January 2012

In the world of retro runners, there’s no doubt that Nike’s Air Max line rules the roost. If you are looking to take even further back though, check out this upcoming pack featuring a triple threat of the waffle bottomed classic Nike Air Tailwind. There have been a handful of newer iterations bearing the Tailwind moniker, but this one takes it back to the OG running model that had athletes laced up long before Tinker thought up the air bubble. The material selection doesn’t try to get fancy here, repping the classic trainer look of suede and nylon, with a little leather thrown in on the Swoosh. Get a full look at all three pairs after the jump and grab them from mita ahead of their US release date.
