Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' is a bold, retro-inspired sneaker designed for adults who prioritize a statement-making aesthetic alongside reliable impact protection. Featuring the iconic oversized 'AIR' branding split down the middle with striking blue accents, these trainers offer exceptional cushioning for daily wear; however, their bulky silhouette may feel heavy for users accustomed to lightweight performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the Air More Uptempo features responsive cushioning, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer and does not offer the same weight or stability required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the blue accents?
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with cold water to spot-clean the accents, being careful not to scrub too hard to preserve the material texture.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the bulky construction can make them feel slightly more structured or snug than lightweight knit trainers.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are generally glued in place; attempting to remove them may damage the interior lining of the shoe.
What is the best way to prevent the Air-Sole from popping?
Avoid walking over sharp objects, jagged gravel, or construction debris that could potentially puncture the visible Air units.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the leather upper
Use a specialized leather cleaning wipe or a slightly dampened cloth with a mild soap solution, wiping gently to avoid excessive moisture.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets to allow for a tighter, more customized tension across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air More Uptempo trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather and synthetic overlays with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit suitable for most adult feet. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on with your preferred thickness of athletic sock to ensure proper lockdown.
- Air Unit Maintenance: Periodically inspect the Air-Sole units for debris trapped in the ridges and gently remove it to prevent punctures.
