The Nike Air Max Tailwind, also known as the Nike TW4, Air Max Tailwind, or Nike Tailwinds, is a sleek and performance-focused sneaker series that combines cutting-edge innovation with timeless design. Originally launched in 1978, the Air Max Tailwind was one of the pioneers in featuring visible air cushioning in the sole, thanks to aerospace engineer Frank Rudy. This ground-breaking feature helped cement its status as an iconic model in Nike's renowned Tailwind collection.

Over the years, Nike has released various iterations of the Tailwind, including the Supreme Red, Desert Ore, and popular Azure model. However, since 2019, the Nike Tailwind IV collection has been completely discontinued, making these Nike TW4's rare and driving up demand significantly.
