The Nike Air Max Tailwind 5 SP Grey comes straight from the extensive Nike archives to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the legendary silhouette that originally launched in the year 2000. It was a big hit at the time and has strong links to legendary subcultures such as the UK Garage scene.
This pair follows up from the Nike AM Tailwind IV which received a retro last year, which originally released in 1999. The uppers are crafted from a supple quilted suede to a technical design, showcasing an icy-blue mini-Swoosh on both the lateral and medial sides of each trainer. The Air Max Tailwind V was revolutionary upon its original launch, featuring a high-spec lacing system and an embossed “MAX AIR” logo on the tongue.
Comfort is also second to none here, with the pair sitting on top of Nike’s signature Air Max sole unit, offering cushioning and support over short or long periods of wear. The clean grey and ice-blue colourway emits instant retro vibes that will be sure to turn a few heads on the street.
The Nike Air Max Tailwind 5 SP Iron Grey is a highly anticipated release due to the fact a legendary silhouette is being given a retro, so if you’re looking for a new addition to your collection this might just be the one.
