Full details

These trainers feature iconic visible Air-Sole units that provide excellent impact protection for all-day wear. While the bold, bulky silhouette makes a strong fashion statement, it is important to note that the substantial construction may feel heavier than minimalist performance runners.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers. While comfortable, they lack the specific motion-control and lightweight features required for distance running.

Does the Nike Air More Uptempo fit true to size?

Most users find the fit true to size, but the internal padding makes them feel quite secure or 'snug' compared to thinner trainers.

How do I clean the Air-Sole units?

Use a soft brush and mild soap solution to gently clean the visible air units, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the Nike Air More Uptempo is designed as a unisex model, though sizing follows standard adult/men's sizing conventions.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is constructed from a combination of durable synthetic and leather materials to maintain the classic 90s look.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting the shoe on

Loosen the laces significantly to allow the tongue to move forward, as the shoe is designed for a secure, locked-in fit.

Visible scuffs on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Nike Air More Uptempo trainers last, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather and synthetic surfaces with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to protect the Air-Sole units.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or colour fading.
  3. Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference before activity, as the internal lockdown mechanism is designed to hold your foot firmly once secured.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair well with casual street style, including denim, joggers, and athleisure wear.
