What up fiends? In this post I will be examining the Nike Air Tailwind 3 in the grey and volt getup.
It ain't nothing pretentious about these joints, just straight-up athletic dopeness. The Tailwind falls into a strange category for Nike, somewhere between stone-cold casual and teched-out performance. Personally I'm a fan of this genre, as some of the more uber-white performance runners tend to lack a bit in the steez department, while most of the street-certified Maxxys like the 90 etc tend to be a bit old and clunky. The TW3 manages to find a nice blend with the full-length low pressure truncated 360 sole, flywire upper and mesh toe.
Nike has rinsed the f---k out of the colour "VOLT" in recent years. While it may not be to everyone's taste, I commend them for embracing their whiteness and celebrating the 90's with gusto. It's refreshing in this millennium of rampant sissiness and uber-limp wackness to be able to wear a goddamn macked-out fluoro green shoe just because I feel like it. Not only that, but there's emerging evidence coming out of the science community which indicates that attractive females ACTUALLY BECOME PHYSICALLY AROUSED when they see guys wearing neon colours on their shoes.
Here's a quick comparison with the Tailwind 2:
I think the 3 takes it, what y'all think? Some of you might recognise the TW from Eminem's video "Not Afraid". I think Eminem's endorsement of this joint pretty much says it all. Cop a sample here:
Well that's about that, lil' homies. Keep on keepin it real for me. In my next post I'll be taking a look at these ice-cold mahfahz, the iced-out Nike Air Prestige III Premium!
