FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Nike Tailwind 79 trainers?
The Nike Air Tailwind 79 trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear, celebrating a retro running aesthetic with modern comfort suitable for casual, everyday wear.
How should I clean my Nike Tailwind 79 trainers?
Spot clean the shoes using a soft brush and a mild cleaning solution. Pay attention to cleaning the mesh and suede areas separately. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary. It is recommended to consult Nike's official size chart or try them on if possible, as some users find them to have a narrower fit.
Are these suitable for running or athletic training?
While they are based on a running shoe silhouette, the Tailwind 79 is best suited for casual wear and light activity. They are not designed for high-impact athletic training.
What materials are used in the Nike Tailwind 79 trainers?
These trainers feature mesh uppers with suede overlays at the toe box and heel, a synthetic leather Swoosh, and a rubber outsole with waffle traction.
What does the Nike Air Cushioning provide?
The Nike Air unit in the heel provides responsive cushioning, enhancing comfort for walking and standing throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider if the narrow fit is suitable for your foot shape. Wearing thinner socks may provide more room.
Laces come undone easily
Try a different lacing technique, such as a double knot, or replace the laces with ones that have better grip.
Suede material appears scuffed
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore the texture. For tougher marks, consult specialized suede cleaning products.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
The waffle outsole provides good grip on most surfaces, but caution is advised on extremely wet or slippery conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
