Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 "Rough Green" DH8011-001 is designed for adults seeking a retro basketball-inspired shoe with bold aesthetics and comfortable cushioning. Its key benefit lies in its iconic "AIR" branding and visible air-sole unit, offering both style and shock absorption. A potential caveat is its mid-top design, which may not suit everyone's preference for ankle support or ease of wear. This shoe features prominent "AIR" lettering, a durable leather construction, and a robust sole for everyday wear and light athletic activities.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Leather creases or scuffs easily
Creasing is natural with leather. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a leather conditioner or polish. Avoid rough contact to minimize damage.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Tightness might be due to lacing; try adjusting the lacing pattern. If consistently uncomfortable, consider the fit of other Nike models as sizes can vary slightly.
Sole feels stiff initially
The shoe requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the sole to flex and conform to your foot.
