FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Nike Air More Uptempo 96?
The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, known for its bold design and comfortable cushioning.
Are these shoes good for running or intense training?
While they offer good cushioning for walking and casual wear, they are not specifically designed for high-impact athletic activities or specialized training. Their bulky nature and design focus are more geared towards style.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth. Always allow them to air dry.
What does the 'AIR' branding signify?
The oversized 'AIR' branding is a signature design element of the More Uptempo line, highlighting the visible Air cushioning technology within the sole.
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather, with rubber used for the outsole and midsole components that house the Air cushioning.
How is the sizing generally for this model?
Sizing for Nike sneakers can vary slightly. It is generally recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts. Many find them to fit true to size for a comfortable, casual fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet to prevent damage to the leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in leather
This is natural with leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
Squeaking sound
Try to identify the source. Sometimes powder can be applied between the insole and midsole, or laces might need adjustment.
Discoloration of white sole
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with most casual attire. They are best suited for general wear rather than specialized athletic performance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the leather and affect the shoe's shape.
- Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Using shoe trees can help preserve their form.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
