When word broke late last year that the Nike Air Max Tailwind 5 would be returning in 2020, OG colorways like the “Midnight Navy” and “USA” came to mind. As it turned out, we received two redesigned options that featured uppers embroidered in a style that matched my grandma’s curtains. To say it was a letdown is an understatement — another notch of shittiness on the belt that is 2020. But before the year is through, we have some good news for you; both of those aforementioned colorways will be returning very, very soon.
Having already released in Asia/Pacific, the Nike Air Max Tailwind 5 “Midnight Navy” returns in true-to-OG styling, with the low-slung silhouette dressed with striking white mesh side panels against ominous dark navy white tongues, toe boxes, and rising midfoot shanks. Jet blacks are dished out across the Swoosh outlines, tongues, and heels, and the pair is complete with a crisp white midsole, and black rubber outsole beneath.
Pairs of the Nike Air Max Tailwind 5 “Midnight Navy” have already dropped on Nike Korea, so you can expect to see a wider release hit global and US Nike.com sites soon.
