Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Tailwind 79 is a retro-inspired trainer for adults seeking a blend of vintage style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the combination of a breathable mesh upper with suede overlays and Nike's Air cushioning for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that vintage-inspired designs may offer a different fit than contemporary athletic shoes.

FAQs

Are the Nike Air Tailwind 79 suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact running or athletic training.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the mesh.

What does 'Air Cushioning' mean?

Nike's Air Cushioning technology involves pressurized air in a durable, flexible membrane within the midsole, providing lightweight, responsive cushioning and shock absorption.

How do I care for the suede overlays?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain its texture. A suede eraser can help with marks, and a protector spray can offer some protection against stains and moisture.

What is the best way to dry these shoes if they get wet?

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. You can stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.

Are there other colorways available for the Air Tailwind 79?

Yes, the Air Tailwind 79 has been released in various colorways over time. Check product listings for current availability.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

Generally, for athletic-inspired casual shoes, it's often recommended to size up if you are between sizes, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. However, fit can be personal, and trying them on is ideal if possible.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks or consult size charts for fit comparisons. The shoe may also stretch slightly with wear.

Suede material looks worn or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser to gently clean the affected areas. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the waffle pattern on the outsole to remove any embedded debris. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down.

Laces come undone easily

Try double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a type that offers better grip if the issue persists.
