Since it’s inception in 1979, the iconic Nike Windrunner jacket has been an important staple in the swoosh franchise. Loved among athletes and b-boys for both its performance on the track & field and its overall crazy visuals and versatility, the Windrunner is one of those essential pieces that any self-respecting Nike-head owned (or still owns) at one point in their life.

2016 will see Nike celebrating ‘The Year of the Windrunner’ and they’ve kicked things of with an illustrated history, done by New York artist Tim Lahan, charting it’s success throughout the years and to it’s present day status.
