Nike Air Tailwind 79 SE, Men’s 9 Retro Casual Running Shoes

EUC, Nike Air Tailwind 79 SE in Monochromatic Black, cl1043-003, Men’s size 9. Light signs of wear, great tread, extra Clean. Introduced to the world during the Honolulu Marathon in 1978, the Nike Air Tailwind has mostly lived in the archives until being properly retroed in 2012. Although its once-revolutionary cushioning has taken a backseat to Air Max, the ’79 silhouette is still being paid its well-deserved respects via both original and new colorways like these two tonal options. Sitting atop a black waffle outsole/white midsole combo, either “Fossil” or “Black” completely takes over the retro runner’s uppers – from leather mudguards and heel panels to mesh overlays. The only contrasting detail on both pairs comes via the vintage red Nike branding at the foam tongue and heel.
