FAQs
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from dark Smoke Gray winterized nubuck, offering a premium look and feel.
How is the cushioning system designed?
The shoe features visible Nike Air cushioning units for responsive comfort and impact absorption.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable for daily wear and casual activities, the Air More Uptempo 96 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker and not designed for intense athletic training or sports.
How should I clean the nubuck material?
Spot clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized nubuck cleaner for tougher stains and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What does the '96' in the name signify?
The '96' refers to the original release year of this iconic silhouette.
What are the main accent colors on this model?
The primary color is Dark Smoke Gray, with contrasting accents in Barely Green.
Does the unique lacing system affect the fit?
The lacing system provides a secure and customizable fit. It may take a moment to get accustomed to, but it allows for precise tension adjustment across the midfoot.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel difficult to adjust
Gently work the laces through the webbing and hook eyelets. Ensure laces are not twisted and try adjusting one eyelet at a time.
Nubuck material appears dirty
Use a soft brush or suede eraser to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, consult a nubuck cleaning guide or product.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit without being too tight.
Color transfer on socks or light-colored surfaces
Some color transfer may occur initially, especially with darker hues. This is usually mitigated after a few wears. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials until break-in is complete.
