Nike x Skepta Air Max Tailwind V

UNDERGROUND STYLE, MAX DNA.

Grime legend Skepta's latest collaboration with Nike brings his underground vision to a clandestine icon—the Nike x Skepta Air Max Tailwind 5. Adding one part urban to one part wild, black leather accents and metallic details merge with a butterfly graphic on the knit upper for a harmonized, go-anywhere look. Reflective details, polished TPU and a rich mixture of fabrics top off the bold, street-ready statement.

The Best of 2 Worlds

Featuring a hybridized version of the Tailwind 5 and 5+, it mixes the sporty, track-inspired look of the original with chunky early-aughts styling. The streamlined shape feels futuristic while adding comfort to your urban world.

Urban Meets Wild

The iridescent details add a futuristic look while enhancing the butterfly graphic printed on the airy, knit material. The harmonizing continues with black leather, reflectivity and chrome details that contrast against the earthy blue butterfly.

Track Inspired Style

The padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great while the chunky, track-inspired silhouette nods to the fast-paced style you love.

Nike Air Max Origins

Revolutionary Air technology first made its way into Nike footwear in 1978. In 1987, the Air Max 1 debuted with visible Air technology in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air cushioning—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking color combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.
