Launched in 1979, the Nike Air Tailwind 79 is the first pair of the Swoosh brand featuring Nike AIR technology, created by aerospace engineer Frank Rudy. The Nike Air Tailwind 79 White Phantom Black features a cream mesh base with suede reinforcement overlays at the heel, tongue, and toebox. It sports a bold black Swoosh, white laces, Nike branding on the heel and tongue, and finally a waffle-patterned rubber outsole that completes this bicolor design. Also available in the Black White colorway, this historically significant version stays as close as possible to the original 1979 silhouette.
