FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball shoes, the Nike Air More Uptempo '96 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For high-impact sports, dedicated performance basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does the 'Thank You, Wilson' edition signify?

This specific edition features unique design elements that pay homage to a particular theme or inspiration, distinct from the standard Air More Uptempo models.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and compare it with your foot measurements. For this specific model, the size listed is UK 10.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather construction is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth and allow them to air dry.

What is the main benefit of the visible Air cushioning?

The visible Air units provide responsive cushioning and impact absorption, enhancing comfort for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases are natural with leather; for significant scuffs, consider using a leather repair kit or professional cleaning. Proper storage can minimize creasing.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check lacing for tightness, ensuring it's snug but not constricting.

Yellowing of the sole/midsole

This can occur over time due to oxidation. Clean with a mild soap and water. For stubborn yellowing, specialized sole cleaners or restoration products may be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
