Full details
The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 in Dark Smoke Gray is designed for adult males seeking a blend of distinctive retro style and all-day comfort. Its primary benefit lies in its bold aesthetic and visible Air cushioning, offering both visual appeal and a comfortable wearing experience.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the Nike Air More Uptempo '96?
The primary material is winterized nubuck, known for its durability and premium feel.
How do I clean the Barely Green mesh outlines?
Use a soft brush or a lightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
No, the Air More Uptempo '96 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
What does 'winterized' nubuck mean for the shoe?
Winterized nubuck suggests a slightly more robust and potentially water-resistant finish compared to standard nubuck, suitable for cooler or damp conditions.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, the black rope laces can be replaced if they become worn or damaged. Standard shoelaces of a similar length and type can be used.
What is the benefit of the perforations in the upper?
The perforations enhance airflow and breathability, helping to keep the foot comfortable and reduce heat buildup.
Are there other colorways available for the Air More Uptempo '96 series?
Yes, the Air More Uptempo series is known for its varied colorways. This specific guide focuses on the Dark Smoke Gray and Barely Green variant.
Troubleshooting
Uneven lacing tension.
Adjust the black rope laces by loosening or tightening them through the alternating webbing and hook eyelets until a comfortable and even fit is achieved.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it persists. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the issue continues, consult the retailer.
Discoloration on the nubuck material.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Clean gently with a specialized nubuck cleaner or a damp cloth as per care instructions.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The Air cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for high-impact sports for which they are not designed.
