FAQs

What makes the Nike Air More Uptempo '96 unique?

The '96 model is distinguished by its oversized 'AIR' branding, visible Air cushioning units, and its 90s basketball-inspired design, originally popularized by Scottie Pippen.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running or basketball.

How do I clean the Barely Green rubber outsole?

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap solution to gently clean the rubber outsole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from winterized nubuck, offering a premium look and feel.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, wearing socks is recommended for comfort and hygiene. The lacing system allows for a secure fit with or without socks, but socks are generally advised.

What does 'winterized' nubuck mean?

'Winterized' suggests the nubuck has been treated to offer slightly more resilience or warmth, suitable for cooler weather conditions, though they are still best suited for dry wear.

Where is the jeweled Swoosh located?

The jeweled Nike Swoosh is located on the heel of the trainer.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel difficult to adjust

Ensure the webbing and hook eyelets are clear of debris. Try loosening the laces completely before re-tying.

Nubuck material looks scuffed or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Discomfort during extended wear

Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape. Consider using insoles for additional cushioning if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you lace them appropriately using the unique webbing eyelets and hook system for a secure and comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult males, these trainers are compatible with most casual wear, including jeans, shorts, and athletic-inspired apparel. Their bold design makes them a focal point of an outfit.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the winterized nubuck. Avoid excessive water, as it can stain or damage the material. For tougher spots, a dedicated nubuck cleaner may be used sparingly.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in a garment bag.
  • Drying: Always air dry these trainers away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or deformation.
