The 1978 Honolulu Marathon saw the Air Tailwind and Nike's brand new cushioning technology, Air, make its buzz-heavy debut. Officially hitting sport shop shelves the following year, runners immediately embraced the revolutionary feel and support. To celebrate this landmark running shoe, Nike continues with their Tailwind Rollout, featuring a mixture of suede and nylon on the upper with a timeless black base contrasted by a crisp white leather overlay on the swoosh.
