Rapper Tiakola, a Congolese-French hybrid, and Real Madrid star youngster Eduardo Camavinga will support the launch of Nike’s latest Air Max Tailwind shoe.

.

Nike is releasing the sneaker in two colorways—white/racer blue and black/white—in remembrance of the two game-changing heroes. The redesigned silhouette is intended to be a shoe for the future and is based on previous iterations of the TW and Air Max models.

Similar to the shoe, the two rising stars in their respective areas demonstrate that they don’t hesitate to be authentic and pay tribute to the past while paving the road for the future. 

.According to Takiola, there are “many links between rap and football,” and since “we have entourages and common friends,” the two communities are now linked. Takiola made this claim to Nike.

It’s a lie, the Air Max. “It makes me think of what I was doing when I was a kid and where I come from,” he remarked. 

The Nike Air Max TW is currently available for purchase on Nike.com and in select stores.
