The original Nike Air Tailwind debuted in 1978, and the Air Tailwind 79 model specifically references this era, returning with near-original materials and design cues.
The trainers feature a combination of breathable mesh for the upper and suede overlays on the toe box and heel, along with a durable rubber outsole.
While inspired by marathon shoes, the Air Tailwind 79 is best suited for casual wear, light jogging, or shorter runs due to its focus on retro aesthetics and comfort rather than advanced performance technology for serious runners.
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner with a damp cloth for stains. Avoid soaking the suede or using harsh chemicals.
Yes, this model is available in various colorways, with the 'Black White' being a prominent and classic option. Check product listings for available options.
The '79' refers to the year the original Nike Air Tailwind was released, highlighting the shoe's heritage and retro design.
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and measure your foot length. Many users find it helpful to compare with other Nike trainers they own, as sizing can vary slightly.
Adjust the lacing to find a more secure or comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size based on the sizing chart. Note that suede can stretch slightly over time.
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.
Ensure the waffle pattern on the outsole is free from debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth or brush. If wear is significant, the outsole may need replacement, though this is uncommon with proper care.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's structure is suitable for your foot type.
