FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nike Air Tailwind 79?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and suede overlays.

Does the Nike Air Tailwind 79 have good cushioning?

Yes, it features Nike's Air cushioning technology integrated into the midsole for comfort and impact absorption.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer comfort, the Nike Air Tailwind 79 is designed primarily for casual wear and light activity, not high-performance running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt, and a specialized suede cleaner and brush for stains. Avoid using water directly on suede.

What is the main benefit of the waffle pattern outsole?

The classic waffle pattern on the rubber outsole provides reliable traction and durability on various surfaces.

When were the Nike Air Tailwind 79 originally released?

This retro iteration is inspired by the original release from the 1970s, with this specific version debuting on June 29th, 2020.

What does the '79' in the name signify?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede eraser and brush to gently lift stains. For tougher marks, consult a professional suede cleaning service.

Slight discomfort during initial wear.

This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

The waffle pattern provides good traction, but like all rubber outsoles, performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure the pattern is free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: The Nike Air Tailwind 79 is designed as a casual footwear option compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. They are intended for adult use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and suede, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains on the mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth, avoiding excessive scrubbing. For suede areas, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush, always brushing in one direction.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the white midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks on the midsole, a magic eraser can be used gently.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent if they are dirty.
  4. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
