The Nike Air Max Tailwind IV has been a major part of the Swoosh Brand’s lifestyle lineup as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of its 1999 deubt, and now the turn-of-the-century classic has appeared in a classic black and white colorway. Black meshes and leathers on the upper are accented by white Swooshes and branded hits, while the quarter keeps these Nike shoes from looking a bit too much like referee footwear with a soft grey gradient fade and two-tone plastic overlays that go from white to black. The stark black midsole calls upon vivid pops of white for trim around its Air Max cushioning units, and a signature blue MX badge on the outsole finalizes the look. Perfect for the impending fall season, you can look for this new classic Tailwind IV makeup to release on Nike.com in the coming weeks with a standard retail price of $160 USD, so check out a full set of official images directly below while you wait.
