FAQs
What is the primary material of the Nike Air More Uptempo 96 'Dark Smoke Grey'?
The primary material is dark Smoke Grey winterized nubuck, with perforations for breathability and accent elements in Barely Green.
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While the Nike Air More Uptempo originated as a basketball shoe, this specific iteration is best suited for casual wear and streetwear due to its design and material focus.
How do I clean the 'AIR' branding?
Gently wipe the branding with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the lettering and its outline.
What does 'winterized' nubuck mean?
Winterized nubuck suggests a slightly more durable and potentially water-resistant treatment compared to standard nubuck, suitable for cooler or damp conditions.
What are the color accents made of?
The Barely Green accents include mesh outlines, a jeweled Swoosh logo on the heel, and the rubber outsole.
How does the lacing system work?
The lacing system features black rope laces threaded through dark Smoke Grey webbing eyelets alternating with Barely Green hook eyelets for a secure and unique closure.
Troubleshooting
Uneven lacing
Adjust the black rope laces through the alternating webbing and hook eyelets to ensure an even and secure fit across the foot.
Nubuck material scuffs easily
Use a nubuck eraser or a soft brush to gently lift minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult specialized nubuck cleaning products and apply with care.
Discoloration on rubber sole
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the color.
