Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 is designed for adult male sneaker enthusiasts who appreciate bold, 90s-inspired graffiti aesthetics combined with modern comfort technology. Its primary benefit is the full-length Air cushioning system, which provides exceptional support for all-day wear, though its bulky silhouette may not appeal to those looking for a lightweight or minimalist profile.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Air More Uptempo fits true to size, though the secure internal straps may make them feel snug initially.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While these were originally basketball shoes, modern performance standards favor lighter footwear. They are best suited for lifestyle and casual use.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from synthetic leather with perforated details for ventilation.
Is the Air cushioning visible?
Yes, the Air unit is designed to be visible within the midsole, consistent with the classic Air Uptempo aesthetic.
Do the laces need to be tied tightly?
Thanks to the internal elastic straps, you do not need to tie the laces tightly for the shoe to feel secure on your foot.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe area
This is normal for leather sneakers; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the structure.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
The elastic tongue straps make the opening firm; use a shoehorn to avoid damaging the heel collar.
Outsole losing traction
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your sneakers in top condition, clean the synthetic leather surfaces using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial cleaning agents, as these can strip the finish from the upper. Because the shoe is constructed with perforated sections, try to avoid wearing them in deep mud or heavy rain to prevent debris from becoming lodged in the mesh/leather holes. When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsoles from yellowing or the leather from cracking. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from high-heat sources like radiators.
