FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Nike Air Tailwind 79 generally fits true to size for most adults, though personal preference for width may vary.

Can I use these for running?

While these were historically performance shoes, they are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for modern distance running.

How do I clean the white fabric?

Clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or harsh chemicals.

Is the sole non-slip?

The rubber outsole provides reliable grip for standard urban surfaces like pavement and concrete.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively slim; those with wider feet may find it helpful to try on half a size larger for added comfort.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

This is a natural characteristic of retro-style trainers; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Surface dirt on white sections

Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild sneaker cleaner to gently scrub away surface grime without soaking the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, versatile vintage aesthetic
  • Breathable materials for improved comfort
  • Durable outsole provides reliable grip
  • Suitable for extended hours of wear

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • White colour scheme requires frequent maintenance to stay clean
  • Specific retro-fit may differ from modern performance shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear out of the box with standard lacing. To maintain the appearance of the White and Blue colour scheme, it is recommended to spot clean the upper with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials of the sneaker. For best results, use a water and stain repellent spray compatible with the shoe's material composition.
