Nike Air Tailwind 79 SE Black

The Nike Air Tailwind 79 SE Black is a sophisticated tribute to the very first silhouette to ever feature "Air" technology, celebrating the 1978 marathon debut of the cushioning revolution. This special edition features a premium material mix of mesh, suede, and leather in a tactical Black/Habanero Red-Obsidian-Black palette. Released on June 1, 2020, for $100, it sits on the signature "wedge" midsole and a waffle rubber outsole for archival traction. Our team thinks the addition of the "Habanero Red" Swoosh and "Obsidian" accents provide a sharp, athletic contrast to the stealthy black base. Our experts love the archival accuracy of this SE (Special Edition) version; it successfully bridges the gap between the birth of Nike's performance science and contemporary lifestyle style, prioritizing both lightweight comfort and a timeless, vintage-saturated design.
