Nike x Skepta Air Max Tailwind V

UNDERGROUND STYLE, MAX DNA.

British rapper and street legend Skepta returns for a new Nike collaboration, the Nike x Skepta Air Max Tailwind 5, this time adding a soccer spin. Bringing his underground vision, he combines 1 part city and 1 part wilderness by combining black TPU accents and metallic details with a phantom butterfly graphic on the woven upper. Reflective and iridescent details demand attention while visible Air cushioning adds comfort to the bold, street-ready statement.

Edgy Sports Aestehtic

Adding a cage-like TPU design on the upper, it mixes the sporty look of the OG with edgy, early-aughts styling.

Urban Meets Wild

The iridescent details add a futuristic look while enhancing the butterfly graphic printed on the airy, woven upper. The harmonizing continues with black TPU details, reflectivity and chrome accents that contrast against the butterfly design.

'90s Styling

The padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great while the track-inspired silhouette nods to the '90s style you love.

Soccer Inspiration

Tied to the launch of the new Phantom soccer cleat, the design features visual references to create a dynamic look full of confidence to do whatever you can dream up. Included is a gym sack with "SKACC" and "PHANTOM SK."

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.
