To be honest, we couldn’t think of anything else befitting the theme of retro sneakers with a tv show set in the same era, but that match just happened when Stranger Things came along and decided on a collab.
For now, 2 of the 6 in the Stranger Things pack is out, namely the Tailwind and the Cortez, but we will update this article as news releases on the other 4 models. Let’s talk about the Tailwind.
In the midst of a serious retro revival, the Tailwind and its cohorts are shoved right into the limelight as Nike’s highlight sneaker of 2019, and its at the epicentre of almost everything that Nike does. This half of the pack specifically, reflects the colours of Hawkins High School, highlighted by green and orange colours, adorned with the school patch on the heel of the shoe. In the case of the Tailwind, green takes a primary role, while the orange accents ensure it stands out like no other Tailwind before it.
The Cortez however, remains relatively unchanged, safe for the green swoosh, and orange highlights that marks that this isn’t unlike any other Cortez. Both models have co-branding on the tongue, as well as special insoles that highlight more of the collab.
Admittedly, the sneakers do look relatively GR, with only tell tale signs informing others that this is in fact, a collaborative model, but then again, no other colourway has existed on these pairs before, hence for those who know, know.
The Nike Tailwind and Cortez are set to release on the 27th of June, for a price of RM 495 and RM 329 approximately, at Nike.com.
