FAQs

What does 'Rough Green' refer to?

'Rough Green' is the specific colorway name for this version of the Nike Air More Uptempo '96, indicating its primary color scheme.

Are these shoes good for actual basketball games?

While inspired by basketball shoes, the Air More Uptempo '96 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For professional or intense basketball play, consider shoes specifically engineered for modern court performance.

How do I clean the "AIR" lettering?

Wipe the lettering gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could damage the finish or paint.

What material is the shoe made of?

The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 "Rough Green" features a leather upper for durability and a classic aesthetic.

What is the main benefit of the visible 'Air' units?

The visible Air-Sole units provide cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort for everyday wear.

How does the sizing run for these shoes?

These shoes generally run true to Nike's standard men's sizing. It is recommended to try them on or consult Nike's official size chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or stiff.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if needed.

Creasing on the leather upper.

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store shoes with shoe trees or by stuffing them to maintain shape when not in use.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and placing a small piece of powder or a dryer sheet underneath, then replace the insole.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

While designed for traction, new soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the bottom of the soles on a rougher surface can help improve grip. Ensure the soles are clean of dust or debris.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
