Not many shoes can attest to the title of ‘Most Shoplifted Shoe Ever In Australian History,’ but such is the case of Nike Tailwind IV, a revolutionary silhouette that defined the name, and the design.

Now this model of course is not for the cloutchaser, but rather, it represents the pinnacle of pre-New Millennium design, bridging the past and the future together into one silhouette. Highlights include being the first Tailwind model to feature Air Max cushioning at the heel and forefoot, as well as nods to the Air Max Plus.

Special Projects’ involvement in the silhouette is reflected in the changes in material, namely liberally using Ripstop fabric for the upper, The silhouette also gets donned in a digital tiger camo print, and if that’s a bit too much, one can opt for safe, grey/black colour instead.

Since it’s an SP shoe, expect the retail price to be a little bit more than the base RM 649, estimating at around RM 755 instead. The silhouette drops on the 28th of May, at Nike.com. Worth the extra?
