The release of Nike’s new Air Max Tailwind will be backed by Real Madrid star boy Eduardo Camavinga and Congolese-French rapper Tiakola.
To honor the two game-changing stars, Nike is introducing the sneaker in two colorways: white/racer blue and black/white. The new, updated silhouette is based on older versions of the TW and Air Max models and is meant to be a shoe for the future.
Like the sneaker, the two people, who are both on the rise in their fields, show that they aren’t afraid to be themselves and honor the past while making the way for the future.
Takiola told Nike that there are “many links between rap and football” and that the two communities are now connected because “we have entourages and common friends.”
“The Air Max is a lie. He said, “It makes me think of what I was doing before, when I was a kid, and where I come from.”
You can now buy the Nike Air Max TW on Nike.com and in some shops.
