Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 'Black Star Blue' is designed for adults seeking a bold, statement-making trainer with a focus on iconic design and comfortable cushioning. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive 'AIR' branding and full-length Air cushioning system, offering both visual appeal and underfoot support. A potential caveat is its specific aesthetic, which may not suit all styles. This shoe features an all-leather construction, prominent 'AIR' lettering, and subtle 'Star Blue' accents, providing a blend of classic basketball heritage and modern color blocking.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nike Air More Uptempo 96 'Black Star Blue'?

The shoe features an all-leather construction for its upper.

What type of cushioning does this shoe offer?

It provides full-length Air cushioning, visible throughout the midsole for enhanced comfort and impact absorption.

How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more stubborn dirt, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly. Always air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer cushioning, they are not optimized for intense running activities.

What does the 'Star Blue' refer to in the colorway?

'Star Blue' refers to the specific accent color used on the heel's jewel-like Swoosh logo, small Swooshes on the midsole, and the main Nike branding on the outsole.

How do I put on the shoes easily?

The shoe features pull tabs on both the heel and the tongue, which assist in pulling the trainers on and off more conveniently.

What is the original release date for this model?

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

Troubleshooting

Laces feel difficult to tighten evenly

Ensure laces are threaded through the eyelets without twists. Try lacing them in a different pattern, like a straight bar lacing, for a more uniform feel.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's components. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) into the shoe under the insole, or ensure the laces are not too tightly knotted.

Leather appears creased or stiff

This is normal for leather products, especially when new. Regular wear will help the leather conform to your foot's shape. You can also use a leather conditioner to help soften and maintain the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet, available in various UK sizes. They are suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash with mild soap and water.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the rubber outsole is free of debris.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
