With Pride Month kicking off this past weekend, Nike’s 2019 “BETRUE” collection celebrates the 50-year anniversary of the Stonewall riots and pays homage to the late LGBTQIA+ rights activist Gilbert Baker, who is also the designer of the iconic rainbow flag, with this classic Nike Air Tailwind 79. This special variation of the model boasts a deconstructed mesh upper with baby blue and baby pink accents across. The highlight element consists of the rainbow stripe embroidered on the heel, while the sockliner graphic represents the eight colors and meanings from the original flag in 1978. Finally, cream suede overlays on the upper and a black rubber outsole tops off the design.
