The Zoom Talaria is a sneaker that really doesn’t get the love it deserves, in our opinion anyway. Who doesn’t love a bit of bias?
This Tinker Hatfield designed silhouette warmed shelves and sale sections when it returned in 2016 - even though it’s a pair celebrated by OG’s worldwide, it never seemed to tap into that wider audience. Our lab rats theorise that this was due to an unconventional SWOOSH placement and overall lack of branding as a whole. With a name coined by sandals sat upon the feet of messengers to the GODS, shouldn’t success just be expected?
Known as one of the first Nike running sneakers to come with the responsive ZOOM Air cushioning system, the Talaria is as comfortable as they come and to this day we’d argue that it has the most beautiful sole unit of any sneaker. In this case, we highlight a vibrant red to green gradient design laced in clear coating, details you’d never notice once the trainer is on foot - just like its bottom-loaded, three-quarter length ZOOM Air unit!
We have a plethora of pairs within our collection, with the OG Neon from 1997 wearing our theoretical crown quickly followed by ‘98s extremely rare Red/Yellow number pictured above - this iteration was secured last year following an immersive turn-by-turn chase.
