FAQs

While they offer good cushioning, the Air More Uptempo 96 is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the 'AIR' lettering?

Use a soft, damp cloth and gentle cleaning solution. Avoid scrubbing the lettering aggressively, as this could damage the finish.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from durable, premium leather.

What does the 'Black Star Blue' colorway represent?

It features a black base with Summit White and Sail accents, highlighted by distinctive Star Blue details on logos and branding elements, offering a unique visual contrast.

When were these shoes released?

The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 'Black Star Blue' was released on March 30, 2024.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight on first wear.

This is common with leather shoes. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in. You can also use thicker socks during this break-in phase.

Leather upper showing scuffs or marks.

For minor scuffs, try using a clean eraser or a specialized leather cleaner. For more persistent marks, a leather conditioner might help restore the appearance.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider exploring grip-enhancing sprays or professional sole treatments.
