FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While originally designed as running shoes in the 70s, this version is intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
Consult the Nike sizing chart and measure your foot length; these trainers typically follow standard adult sizing.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and materials. We recommend manual spot cleaning only.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
It provides standard support for casual walking, but it lacks the advanced technical support found in modern specialized footwear.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper uses a blend of durable synthetic and fabric materials to replicate the original vintage design.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white fabric panels
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristle brush, working in gentle circular motions.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Laces slipping frequently
Consider a double knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set if the standard ones do not provide enough grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your Nike Air Tailwind 79, consult the brand's official sizing guide to ensure an accurate fit for your foot length, as sizes can vary by model. For maintenance, keep these trainers in peak condition by avoiding machine washing. Instead, spot clean the fabric and leather overlays using a soft brush and mild soap solution. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. If the interior gathers moisture, remove the insoles and allow them to dry independently.
