Nike is Bringing Back The West Nike Tailwind OG Arriving Soon in Black White “Del Sol”

Nike’s Protro line has revived some of Kobe Bryant‘s most classic signature Swoosh silhouettes over the past few years, and now the latest pair to make a triumphant return is the West Nike Nike Tailwind OG Arriving Soon in Black White “Del Sol.” A makeup that first released a full decade ago in 2009, the “Del Sol” nods slightly to the Lake Show’s alternate jerseys with its white base and yellow/black accents. It’s certainly a product of its time, with visible Flywire covering the entire quarter — much in the same way it did on the original West Nike Hyperdunk, which debuted a year before in 2008 — and yellow contrast stitching around the black collar. A bold midfoot Swoosh adds branded flair, and two-tone black/yellow laces lock in the color palette. Although the shoe may be ten years old, the tech still stands up to the rigors of the current-day game: apart from the aforementioned Flywire, the Kobe 4 also offers a plastic heel clip for extra stability and Zoom Air in the midsole for responsive cushioning. The Mamba’s first-ever shoe to feature a low-top cut, many modern-day Nike shoes owe the Kobe 4 a debt of gratitude for shifting the performance basketball market away from the bold high-tops that were common in the ’00s.
