I review a lot of Air Max on this site, however this model of runner predates the Air Max by a decade! These Nike Air Tailwind 79 Black / Phantom are a new colorway of Nike’s first sneaker with Air technology, originally created in 1979.

Here’s all my Nike retro runner reviews! I’ve copped several pairs of these types of sneakers throughout my years of collecting. I’m using this category as kind of a catch-all for retro runners from the brand that don’t fit into the Air Max or Huarache categories.
This section includes various pairs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. While some may sport Air units, they are not technically in the Air Max line. I still peep out retros of obscure Nike runners from time to time and consider adding them to the collection. Their relatively simple looks and typical slept-on sale prices make them attractive. But the main thing is the ability to low key fit into many outfits. I think these types of kicks often make great looking comfy kicks to go with several looks for that “vintage” vibe many are looking for.
