A TRUE CLASSIC. The Nike Air Max Tailwind 99 has a storied history, beginning in 1979 with the original Nike Air project. To celebrate 20 years of the Tailwind, this model blends elements from several decades past. An OG colorway nods to the shoe's initial debut back in '99. Benefits Mesh insets are flexible and breathable. Soft leather conforms to your foot for the perfect fit. Details from the most popular Tailwind shoes of the past 40 years combine for a statement look. A special logo at the tongue celebrates 20 years of the Tailwind IV. Air units at the forefoot and heel offer a comfortable ride that made the original famous. Shown: Sail/Clear/Sail Style: CQ6569-100
