Unveiled last summer in homage to Nike’s storied Tail Wind lineup, the Air Max TW has since explored a restrictive number of ensembles. As the fall season approaches, the Beaverton-based brand will be rejuvenating the Cushlon-cushioned model with a compelling grey and blue color blocking,

Employing an eerily similar aesthetic to that of the Corteiz x Nike Air Max 95 – save the camo sock liner – the Tail Wind construction also relies heavily on a dark greyscale appearance as “Anthracite” hues cure the nubuck mudguards, knit base layer, mesh tongue, ribbed collar and heel counter. Light grey shades add a tonal layer throughout the inner lining, trim of the heel, tread and lip of the mudguard. Amidst a sea of monochrome, the 90s-inspired silhouette imposes a colorful sky-blue closing, treating the lace loops, tongue tab, forefoot swoosh and the heel’s embroidered insignia to a cerulean blue finish.

The Nike Air Max TW “Grey/Blue” can be seen below in detailed imagery as we await further release details.
