FAQs
Is the Nike Air Tailwind 79 true to size?
Yes, most users find that the Air Tailwind 79 fits true to their standard Nike athletic shoe size.
Can I run in these sneakers?
While they are based on a marathon-running design from the 1970s, modern footwear technology has far surpassed them for performance running. They are best used as lifestyle sneakers.
How do I clean the white midsole?
A damp cloth with a mild soap solution is usually sufficient to wipe away scuffs and dirt from the white midsole.
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim and streamlined. If you have very wide feet, you may find the fit slightly snug.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper consists of a lightweight cream-colored textile base with suede overlays on the toe cap, eyestays, and heel.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for textile uppers; use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape.
Reduced traction in wet conditions
The gum rubber outsole provides good grip, but exercise caution on slippery surfaces as this is a heritage lifestyle shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up lifestyle trainers, setup is limited to adjusting the tension of the laces to match your foot shape. For compatibility, the standard fit is generally true to size; consult your usual Nike sizing to ensure a comfortable lockdown. Regarding care, the light cream textile and suede materials are sensitive to moisture and dirt. It is recommended to use a protective water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before first use. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from the suede, and spot-clean the textile areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesives holding the outsole.
