Nike Air Tailwind - Nike Max

I am a Nike fan and now I am giving in to this idea about sharing my experience with Nike because I just bought one of its latest editions the Nike Air Max Tailwind + 2009. Well if the reader would not mind, I also want to share my experience working as a travel guide because that is how me and my Nike work together.

I work for a travel company that handles mostly trekking tours in North American adventure spots. Tourists I take charge of love the experience of traveling cross-country, while we all ride in a company provided van and trailer. It is a fun job because you get to do a lot of trekking mostly in Yosemite National Park area, the Grand Canyons, and other more unfamiliar and exciting territories to make the trek tours even better.

Since I have given you an overview of my work, my daily tour grinds of driving the van and leading the treks, in addition to looking after my tour group could really be a test of strength and stamina. Had it not been for the Nike Tailwind foot gears that I wear, I doubt if I could have enjoyed my work as I still do now. Since Nike came out with the Tailwind design in the 90s I became attached to the utmost cushioning and stability support. I can say that the Nike Air Max Tailwind + 2009 can still do the job, it even became better.

Here is my review of Nike Air Max Tailwind + 2009

I tested out its performance with the recent treks I spearheaded last March, 2009:

1. The Flywire technology that makes this pair of running shoes ultra lightweight yet supportive is simply the best if you are in the kind of work that I do.

2. Nike Air Max Tailwind + 2009 still has that snug-fit feature around the heel reaching to the midfoot that I like so much. Anybody who undertakes trailblazing adventures knows the importance of wearing footgear that you can always depend on to stay locked-down in your feet no matter what.

3. There is the signature Waffle lug pattern that can give me the best traction grip possible whenever I lead a pack of adventure hungry tourists. The more rough the terrain we take the closer we get to nature and all its glorious wonder. Everybody enjoys this as they start clicking with their digicams.

Often times I have to accommodate requests to act as photographer so they can get to see themselves included in their photographs. Frequent feet movements could cause you to lose your balance in rough terrains and it’s a good thing Nike Air Max Tailwind + 2009 still has that signature Waffle.

What I have mentioned are traditional Nike features and I expect them from the Nike Air Max Tailwind + 2009, no less.

Now it has the plus sign for the iPod sensor technology which I can insert right in the sockliner of my Nike shoes. It was designed basically for the professional runners who want to monitor their performance levels by using sensors via iPod technology.

As for me, I use those sensors mainly for measuring the pace, distance and time that has elapsed so I can be intuitive about the needs of my pack of adventurers. I do not expect them to have the same stamina that I have because I have been doing this for a living, while most of the tourists are only out for recreation. By using the iPod sensors, I can avoid having trekkers who are bound to complain of fatigue, hunger and thirst.

That is how I make my difference as a travel guide for trek tours in North America. That is how Nike Air Max Tailwind + 2009 help me achieve this difference.
