FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Tailwind 79 is inspired by heritage running shoes, it is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-intensity athletic training.
How do I determine my size?
Measure your foot from heel to longest toe. If you fall between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally fitted for the shoe's specific build, but they can be carefully removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
How should I clean the blue accents?
Use a damp cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could cause the dye to bleed onto the white fabric.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The shoe features a mix of high-quality textile and synthetic overlays consistent with the 1979 design language.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, or ensure you are wearing thinner socks to account for the snug heritage fit.
Stains on white portions of the upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a gentle cloth with mild detergent to lightly buff the affected area immediately after it gets dirty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe before purchasing. If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size to avoid discomfort. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the white uppers with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and warm water. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and material integrity.
