FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Air Tailwind 79 was originally a running shoe, it is currently intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense athletic performance.

Is the sizing unisex?

Yes, the Nike Air Tailwind 79 is designed as a unisex model for adults.

What materials are used for the upper?

The upper is crafted from a high-quality combination of textile and leather for support and durability.

How do I maintain the traction pattern?

Regularly inspect the waffle outsole for debris caught in the grooves and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the materials. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Outer material showing signs of dirt

Use a soft dry brush to gently remove surface debris, followed by a lightly dampened cloth if necessary.

Feeling discomfort during break-in

Wear the trainers for shorter durations initially to allow the leather and textile materials to adapt to the shape of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Air Tailwind 79 trainers maintain their condition, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material warping or discoloration.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the retro shape when not in use.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK adult sizes and fit true to size for most users; ensure your foot measurement matches your specific size variant.
