FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from dark Smoke Grey winterized nubuck.
What are the main color accents on this model?
The main accents are in Barely Green, seen on the outline of the 'AIR' branding, the toebox Swoosh, and the heel jeweled Swoosh.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the upper features perforations for enhanced breathability.
How should I clean the Smoke Grey nubuck?
Use a specialized nubuck brush and eraser. Avoid water and harsh cleaning agents to maintain the material's integrity.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While offering comfort, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear rather than high-performance athletics.
What is the significance of the 'AIR' branding?
The oversized 'AIR' branding is an iconic design element from the original Air More Uptempo silhouette, popular in the 1990s.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck appears discolored or dirty
Gently brush with a nubuck-specific brush. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser. Avoid excessive moisture.
Laces feel loose or uneven
Re-lace the shoes, ensuring the black rope laces and Barely Green hook eyelets are used as intended. Tighten evenly for a secure fit.
Slight stiffness in the upper
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The winterized nubuck will become more flexible with wear.

Care Instructions:
- Nubuck Cleaning: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede and nubuck to gently remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used cautiously.
- Stain Removal: Avoid using water directly on the nubuck. If necessary, use a damp cloth very sparingly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Lace Care: Inspect laces regularly for wear. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water if needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect the materials.
