The original Nike Air Zoom Talaria made its debut in 1997 as one of the first Nike running sneakers to feature Nike Zoom Air. In addition, the sneaker featured flex grooves on the outsole and a combination of running suede and mesh on the upper. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the sneaker gets its name from the sandals worn by a messenger to the gods.

BLACK Comme des Garons continues the on-going partnership with the big swoosh and gives a new look at the Nike Air Zoom Talaria.
