We were digging around and found a couple of great vintage Nike ads over at the Internet Archive. Shout out to ArchivistAndy for posting these Nike Daybreak (1980) and Nike Tailwind (1979) vintage print ads.
If you dig these old school Nike runners we still have a few pairs of new retro Daybreaks and Tailwinds in Black or Blue colorways left for sale over at our Rewind Running shop.
Nike Tailwind print ad info is below:
THE AURA OF AIR
Put yourself on pavement.
Hard miles alone.
After a pounding hour.
The shoe with air - Captured in the permanently inflated midsole channels. The shoe shown to have unequalled cushioning in state of the art testing.
But laboratory tests and technical specifications don't make this shoe. The ride does.
There's something happening there. You'll feel it. Your body in rhythm with the road.
The Nike Tailwind. We want you to try it.

Nike Daybreak ad info is below:
TAKE TWO
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
First thing in the morning, feet can be a little cranky. Give them something to look forward to
The DAYBREAK. By NIKE.
Its unique forefoot cushioning will make those first few miles a lot less jarring. And this shoe is slip lasted. So it's light, flexible. You land and toe-off like nature intended.
The DAYBREAK. To start vour day off on the right foot.
