FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Nike Air Tailwind 79 generally fits true to size, though personal preference for toe-box room may vary.

Can I use these for running?

While based on a legacy running shoe, these are currently marketed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for long-distance or high-intensity running.

How do I clean the white sections of the shoe?

Use a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to spot clean, being careful not to rub the colored fabric onto the white areas.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively standard; if you have very wide feet, you may consider sizing up by a half-size.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber outsole is designed for street use and generally performs well, but avoid dragging feet on indoor court surfaces to prevent scuffs.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty maintaining cleanliness of the bright yellow fabric

Apply a sneaker-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets for a more secure lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Tailwind 79 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Do not expose them to direct heat sources or radiators, as this may warp the materials.
  3. Storage: Keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Compatibility: These are unisex shoes; ensure you verify the UK size conversion against your personal measurement for the best fit.
