FAQs

What makes the "AIR" branding unique?

The "AIR" branding on the Nike Air More Uptempo '96 is a signature design element featuring oversized, puffed lettering across the side panels, making a bold visual statement.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a dark Smoke Gray winterized nubuck, offering a premium look and feel.

Are these shoes good for athletic performance?

The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for comfort and style. While it offers cushioning, it is not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the Barely Green rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe clean and allow to air dry.

What is the significance of the Barely Green accents?

The Barely Green accents, appearing as mesh outlines around the "AIR" branding and as a Swoosh on the heel, provide a subtle yet distinctive color contrast to the primary Smoke Gray colorway.

What does "winterized nubuck" mean?

Winterized nubuck suggests the material has been treated to offer some degree of enhanced durability or resistance, suitable for cooler weather conditions, though it remains a nubuck material requiring care.

What is the retail price of these sneakers?

The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 Dark Smoke Gray was released with a retail price of $180.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel insecure or loosen quickly.

Ensure the laces are properly tied using a secure knot. Double-check that the laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets.

Nubuck material appears scuffed or dirty.

Gently brush the area with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher marks, use a specialized nubuck eraser or cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Discomfort during wear.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check lacing for proper tightness.

Color transfer from accents to socks or clothing.

This is uncommon but can occur with new shoes, especially in humid conditions. Allow shoes to air out before prolonged wear. In rare cases, a protective spray might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care:
