FAQs
What is the primary material of the Nike Air More Uptempo '96?
The primary material for the upper is winterized nubuck, with mesh detailing around the "AIR" branding.
What color is the outsole?
The outsole is Barely Green rubber.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and daily wear, the Nike Air More Uptempo '96 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use, not high-impact running.
How do I adjust the fit with the unique eyelets?
The system alternates between dark Smoke Gray webbing and Barely Green hook eyelets. You can thread the laces through these points to customize the snugness across your foot.
What does 'winterized nubuck' mean?
Winterized nubuck suggests a treatment applied to the nubuck leather to potentially offer slightly more resilience or a different texture suitable for cooler weather conditions, while maintaining a premium look.

The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 Dark Smoke Gray was released on January 25, 2024.
What does MPN FJ4181-001 refer to?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number, and FJ4181-001 is the unique identifier for this specific variant of the Nike Air More Uptempo '96.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot and ankle, using the unique webbing and hook eyelet system. Ensure you have the correct size; consider thicker socks if a snug fit is desired.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to air pockets or friction. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to break them in. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Discoloration of the Barely Green accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or abrasive cleaning agents. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
