The Nike Air Max Tailwind 4 “Flight Jacket” is a military-inspired colorway of the retro running shoe that was released in Summer 2019 by Nike. Reminding many of Undefeated’s incredibly rare Air Jordan 4 collaboration from 2005, this “Flight Jacket” edition of the Air Max Tailwind 4 also borrows graciously from rugged military aesthetics, and the results are clearly favorable. Both the model’s mesh base and suede overlays are dressed in a dark olive green hue commonly associated with military gear. An orange embroidered Swoosh appears on the lateral side and olive “Max Air” detailing on the black synthetic heel overlay. Black mesh can be found on the collar and olive green mesh appears on the tongue. The black nylon eyestays feature orange accenting for a subtle pop of color. Underneath, orange-tinted visible Air bubbles in both the forefoot and the heel finish off the look.
