FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from dark Smoke Gray winterized nubuck.
How do I clean the nubuck material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Always allow nubuck to air dry naturally away from heat.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the side panels feature perforations to enhance breathability and foot comfort.
What does 'winterized' mean in this context?
Winterized typically indicates that the material has been treated to offer slightly more durability and resistance to the elements, suitable for cooler or slightly damp conditions compared to standard nubuck.
What is the significance of the 'AIR' branding?
The oversized 'AIR' branding is a hallmark of the Air More Uptempo series, celebrated for its bold aesthetic and referencing the visible Air-Sole units providing cushioning.
What colors are prominent in this sneaker?
The primary colors are Dark Smoke Gray and Barely Green, creating a subtle dual-chromatic effect.
When was this specific model released?
The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Dark Smoke Gray was released on January 25, 2024.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure the laces are double-knotted. If the lace material is particularly smooth, consider using a different lacing technique or replacing the laces with a more textured pair.
Nubuck upper appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a soft brush. For minor dirt, a dry brush may suffice. For stains, follow with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Reduced cushioning over time.
While Air cushioning is durable, performance may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not consistently exposed to extreme temperatures. Rotating between multiple pairs of shoes can extend the lifespan and effectiveness of the cushioning.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on wet or exceptionally smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider a professional cleaning or consult with a shoe specialist.

Care: The winterized nubuck upper should be cleaned with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then allow to air dry naturally.
