The Birth of Nike Air | A History of Nike Tailwind
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- The Nike Air Tailwind's history begins with the invention of Nike's trademark air technology. It is one of the most important shoes in Nike's history and arguably one of the most important breakthroughs in modern day footwear. Without air technology, what would Nike's shoes look like? In this episode, we trace the history of the Nike Tailwind and learn about the beginnings of Nike Air technology.

Damm now I feel like I need to cop a tailwind
tan chinhoe it’s a must have in my opinion
Just copped the white tailwind 5 that was just released
I have a pair of Tailwind 4 and they are the best air max i have ever owned.
@@kierangeorge9330 my tailwind v sp turned up yesterday and I gotta say as dadish as they are. They're comfy AF from initial wear.
Can’t I got ‘‘em all
Dang I didn’t even know the tailwind had air technology. I really like how they look a lot. Nice vid guys 👍
Henry Orellana Thanks Henry! Yeah man, the first shoe with Air tech 😎
you can't tell from the name ? Nike AIR Tailwind ?
satya pura nah I can’t, but seriously I’ve never heard anyone call it the Nike AIR tailwind before, even the vid title doesn’t say it
I can relate before like someone told me every shoe who was air in its name has air cushioning i thought that is just name because like there are t shirts with air branding but they don't have air units in em
The first version is the best, it's stripped to the bone, minimalist design with a beautiful silhouette, you can't add or remove anything form that design - it's a classic.
One of the most slept on running sneakers in Nike’s archives.
I got my first pair of Tailwinds in the ‘80s and I have to say that they were some of the most comfortable sneakers that I wore at the time.
Fast forward to Nike’s ACG Lava Dome (Lows/1988) that borrowed a lot of cues from the Tailwind.
Dee Wells Probably the most underrated silhouette in Nike’s arsenal! Appreciate you watching and your tweets 🙏🙏
Damn how did you become so cute?
This channel needs more attention
CANADIANSLICK 22 thanks share 😎😎😎 tell your friends
It really does
the Tailwind IV was the best looking one for streetwear. The OG Tailwind was pretty good running shoe. I remember it was ground breaking when it came out.
Been here since the channel had only 500 subs and I HAVE to say how proud I am of you guys. You’ve come so far already and can’t wait to see more of you guys amazing content keep up the good work!
Richard Andrew Wowww. I really can’t thank you enough! Haha you been around since the good ol’ days!! 😂
The Jailwind 4s are making a major comeback these days and I’m loving it 😍
THIS PRODUCTION VALUE THO. Great video guys
Nick Walkenbach Yesss Thanks Nick! I’m so happy to hear that lol takes forever to make one of these! 🙏
Karhu had the first air cushioned sole before Nike did. They had the Karhu Air Cushion system which had air in the heel and the arch support. It was in a sneaker called the ChampionAir that came out in 1977.
The original Nike Tailwind is my favourite Nike's silhouette.
Star Light It’s a beauty
Best sneaker history channel.
alex thelizardking Yee yee Thanks Alex!
Such a low key sneaker for being so innovative. fantastic content like always!
Speak with Peace Now you can wear it with pride in knowing the history behind it 😎
Simple and clean sneaker..love it(originals that is).
Lup Lewis The OG is 🔥
so relaxing. to you, your brother and everyone who involved making the videos, thanks and keep on inspiring. I'm forever a fan.
my umobile 🙏 Thank you man! I’m super humbled by your kind words. Appreciate it more than you know!!
I had a pair of the Tailwind 96's when they came out. Pity the midsole crumbled..... Got the 'stranger things' retro earlier this year. But that grey/blue original colourway looks great!
Steve Boge Ohh I really dig those stranger things ones. Bummer to hear about your 96s’ crumbling. Thanks for watching and the thoughtful comment Steve 👍
These vids are so fire tho🔥🔥🔥
Bryan Herrera Appreciate it Bryan
I love the OG tailwind. Reminds me of the internationalist LD (is it LD? Not sure). Definitely a sleek silhouette.
Jay Mazyopa the OGs are very nice especially in the OG colorway
Reminds me of the NB 420. Ultra old-school, dad, moustache-headband-tucked in singlet top-pulled up socks-gym junkie/jogger shoe of the 1970s. The Dunlop KT26 reminds me of those times, and I have a pair of them hahaha.
When i read Shoe Dog of Phil Knight, he said that it was a crazy idea. Marion Frank Rudy was such an imaginative person 😮🤟.
This video is still good and informative but it would be much better if there were English subtitle because UA-cam's subtitle is wrong sometimes.
Nhân Vlog ông there is English subtitles 😎 I paid for them actually. Double check when selecting the captions. And yeah man I really want to read Shoe Dog. It’s next on my reading list
Oh i see subtitles now, thanks. I think it's gonna be interesting if you make videos about books or magazines relating to sneakers. 🤟
Nhân Vlog ông definitely in the future 🙏
History of Ultraboost? I dont really think there much history but It would be an interesting video
Justin Nunez For sure! We plan on doing that video in the future 👍
Had a pair of the 92s in the colourway you showed in the vid. Absolutely loved that shoe
arp 909 Dang! I love that OG colorway. They need to retro them
Currently watching a video about the tailwinds while wearing the tailwind 4s myself, great vid!!
timeless You one fly dude then 😎 Thanks for watching
Great video as always. What I do find ironic is that although air technology was originally developed for running, Nike no longer uses it in its running shoes.
Zoom air
Would like to see a new video regarding on the history of Zoom Air! That technology is really beneficial to alot of runners and sports athletes, case in point the Pegasus series!
This channel is amazing, hands down you guys are bringing back great memories about our favorite sneakers from back in the day. God bless
You should do a video on Karhu, I believe they actually beat Nike to the punch with Air Cushion tech in 1976 with the Champion. Still making some cool stuff too. Cheers!
I got the Nike Tailwind x Stranger Things and it's one of my favorite sneaker to wear.... pretty comfy and iconic.
you guys should do “the history of converse”
(like if you agree)
Jose M. Coming soon 😈
Converse are garbage. They got good ones now but the originals were so uncomfortable no padding really thin easy to rip and tear
@@gammawave1739 #1 selling shoe of all time 🤷♂️
@@gammawave1739 True. They do the '70 and II now which are hands down the difference in day and night.
I loved when Nike used to write full out 10 paragraph essay for an advertisement. Lol.
I would love to see the following History Of..
Reebok Pump
Reebok DMX
Adidas Feet You Wear
Nike Alpha Project ( shox technology in particular)
Nike HTM releases
Matt BNE Yesss Thank you! Reebok Pump is definitely going to be a big one. I’ll look into the Aplha project. Super appreciate the suggestions 🙏
How about the 1st Air Jordans.
Had those 78s in 86...7th grade with a yellow cotton fleece jog suit the jog pants had the sleeve type bottoms like today's sweats back then it was more gathered elastic. That outfit bought out the shoes I was the flyest thing poppin in the 7th grade that day.
Great video as per usual! Currently wearing one of my Tailwind IVs - which are extremely comfortable and padded btw.
Lachy. nice! I’ve never tried them on actually. Might have to cop a pair soon! Definitely one of my favs next to the OGs
Karhu introduced Air Cushioning in 1977 with their Mestari model. Quite a few other Karhu feature Air Cushioning.
✌🏽💙👟
I wonder if any famous/legendary athlete, musician, actor, etc. Wore the tailwind 4s in an ad, game, music video, etc. To give them hype?
Wise Artist I couldn’t find any honestly lol I know people rock me but they are super underrated. I couldn’t find a single Nike commercial 😂
@@NachoAverageFinds lol...guess I'll become famous and sport them tailwinds myself then 😁
I was so dissapointed when I got tailwind IV from ma dad, cuz I hope i could get the air max plus III, but this vid changed my mind
My new favorite UA-cam channel.
YESSSSSS! Thanks!! I literally asked for this video!
Daniel Bennetts No probs! We got you!! What you want to see next?
It would be nice to see some Adidas Supercourt history!
Or maybe some Gazelle history!
Just to balance things a little bit😉 haha
Greetings from Mexico city!
Amazing 😉 Cool interesting Video again guys 👏👏💪☝️👍 WELL DONE
Richard Krivik Thanks Richard! Appreciate you watching
Damn I was so happy when this shoe finally came back. I am 100% sure that Tailwind 79 is the most comfortable sneaker on the market. Also what a good looking casual shoe! In my opinion Tailwind 79 is the most important and best sneaker in history.
Aleks Szumski The one that started it all 😂 It’s an amazing silhouette
There’s no way a shoe from 1979 is gonna be more comfortable than the top comfort shoes in 2019. Maybe they’re more comfortable than other retros
Would like to grab one OG tailwind for daily wear
Louis Chao That would be a wise choice!
Fireeee. Keep making more. And if sneakers run out, do streetwear as it and sneakers go hand to hand.
Mailou 😂😂 I don’t think I’ll ever run out
Do history of puma
Voornaz Definitely!! It’s on the list 🤙
For next video can y'all please make on nb 997s
Killshort 13 definitely doing a NEw Balance video
Great job as always.
grosiu1990 Thank you man 👍

Highly Akicktive Haha Of course man! Had to re-export the video because I spelled Akicktive wrong 🙏🙏Thank you!
@@NachoAverageFinds that's dedication 😅
Highly Akicktive More like Respect ✊
Yes i have been waiting for this
Rolands Naglis What other shoes would you like to see? Thanks for watching!
@@NachoAverageFinds I don't know but if had to ask them probably the cushions before modern day who started using eva foam first what was kinda the thing abou it I know you specialize on shoe models but that would be something different
i had some red black & white tailwind 2's CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN
that was Aug 1997
MrCalverino Dang. Tailwind 2s low key 🔥
MrCalverino nice 👍 they cozy ?
@@NachoAverageFinds Yea, they were $119.99 add tax around $130, $129.40 😀 Yea man someone actually stole them from my gym locker, those shoes were serious
@@NachoAverageFinds its so hard to find a pic of that colorway, it actually the varsity red for specifics wave pattern while the shoe was mostly white with silvery 3m
The tailwind 4s really are soooo comfortable. I have the all black colour way for work and after 10 hours my feet don’t hurt at all. Definitely cop them if you can
Just copped the 1999 SNS Tailwind IV.
BEST.SHOE.EVER 💓
Damm, the 92's Tailwinds was my first pair of Nike shoes with air max unit and a first step to sneaker culture... Awesome piece of shoe! You're 100% right that they were bulky, but suprisingly lightweight. I just wore them for couple of years to complete destruction. They're in white/neon yellow/blue. Right now im so sad that I had to throw them away cause of over use, cause they are really hard to buy nowadays...
Wow i didnt even know about this shoe and its lit
Sam Insertlastnamehere It’s a legendary shoe 😎🤙
Please do History of Nike Air Spiridon or Talaria
rkingx the spiridon for sure is getting a video 😎😎👍
Love my tailwinds. Never knew it was the first air shoe thoughtfully
I live in Western Australia and am a teen and just bought a pair of triple black tailwind ivs so better be careful where I walk wearing them
great content keep going guys
Gian Villarin Yo thanks Gian 🙏
I love my black and white tailwinds so much.
Great content as usual!
Bozhidar Ivanov Appreciate that man 🙏🙏
just copped a pair of Tailwind 79 for $49, so good
Big come up! Congrats!
I always thought the af1 was the 1st shoe with air all this time
Akif you’re half right the AF1 was the first Nike BASKETBALL shoe to have air
First basketball sneakers to have air check out the AF1 if you haven’t
@@ed0g351 ohhh I must've got confused
can we get an L in chat
I just found a pair of tailwind iv in an outlet store shoe is dope
my first ever pair of Nike shoes were the Tailwind IV. Back then I didn't know anything about it, but damn.. they're very comfortable.
Great videos great channel
Thank you Reiner
Tailwind 4s are my favourite shoe of all time
Didn't even know abt the 92s besides seeing them on Nike and scrolling passed and didn't piece them together with the Jailwinds.
I'm feeling the tailwind 4s
Romaris Rogers They pretty fly 😎
@OpBanana nahh u man lie
iv got ts and tailwind 4s , and i just moved from UK to Sydney, I wear them everywhere and everyone just says they look peng, they've never touched me
u Australians just think ur hard cuz ur 2 influenced by american gangsta culture, ur all neeks at heart kmt
I love the 1997 tailwinds in red and white. I wore them for years.
lmaoo, got a pair on sale for 40$ literally a week ago, nice timing. Great video as always tho
my penis is very small, but Dope! You got the OG pair? I’m trying to cop one soon!
@@NachoAverageFinds Yeah, found one sitting in a nike outlet here in germany. Not exactly my size but for 40 I had to cop.
1:39 Air isn't weightless... This was like my first less in chemistry class in high school lul
Another one!...
Mr Half A Pino Yessir!!
the athletes arent wrong, copped a pair of red/white/red tailwinds on clearance and they are so so so comfortable as an everyday shoe
can we get a video on the Vapormax please ?
BigFish Taco Definitely will do a Vapormax video at some point
Love the content from 🇵🇭

Can you guys do a vid on the nike blazers
on kod We sure can! I’ll add it to the list mang
The tailwind 7 is my favorite so far but I just bought the worldwide 79 tailwinds
I’m bout to return some 80’a for these
It’s so rare, but i got this one. How lucky ⭐️
Could you guys make some more vids about streetwear
kingston gaming Of course!
I used to have a pair of tailwind in the 80s and it is at that point of time, one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I had worn but the midsole didnt last and kind of disintegrated in our climate (am in Asia). I recently went to check out the new releases, Air tailwind 79 OG, I feel the new version is a lot stiffer and the air sole not as spongy and bouncy. The original also not so mesh like. I am not sure if my assessment is correct and maybe those who has the new version can comment.
Love it
Mike Gniadek Thanks Mike 💪
Have you done one on The Nike Sky Force??
nike air tailwind 5 plus!
Do an air skylon!!!!
Kelsey Molon 🤔🤔🤔 we might
I just got these and they are comfortable as fuck.
Without Nike Air in the modern era we would be adidas
I’m a Nikehead
Midnight Club Still Cancelled Soz Haha Swoosh head
@@NachoAverageFinds Swoosher?
I have a pair on the way at this very moment
Nice did you cop via that SoleLinks deal on Twitter? haha I saw that. 75 bucks a pair
@@NachoAverageFinds I got the basic gray ones. One of my sons works for Nike. I'll post them up on Instagram and Twitter once they arrive. I'll tag you 😎👍
didn't karhu do air in shoesfirst? always thought that nike stole that idea
i love those shoes
post modern cowboy They’re legendary 😎 Now you know why
