FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on an original running silhouette, the Tailwind 79 is now categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for long-distance or high-performance running.

Does the shoe fit true to size?

Yes, the Nike Air Tailwind 79 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No, never place your sneakers in a dryer, as the heat can degrade the cushioning and damage the adhesives used in the construction.

Are these water-resistant?

The materials are not water-resistant; they are designed for standard urban conditions and are best kept away from heavy rain or puddles.

What is the primary material used?

The upper consists of a mix of fabric materials designed for comfort and breathability, supported by a durable rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose while walking

Try a heel-lock lacing technique to better secure the ankle and keep the shoe tight against the foot.

Visible dirt on the yellow fabric panels

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a gentle brush with cold water; do not soak the shoe entirely.

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the materials maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Iconic vintage aesthetic that remains timeless
  • Reliable traction provided by the rubber waffle outsole

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers arrive ready to wear right out of the box. Simply adjust the laces to your desired tension for a secure fit. Regarding sizing, this model is standard UK adult sizing; ensure you are measuring your feet in the evening when they are at their largest for the best fit. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the upper with a soft brush and mild detergent, and wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials or damage the glue bonds.
