FAQs
What material are the Nike Air More Uptempo '96 Trainers made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from synthetic materials. Specific components like the lining and sole may vary.
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?
While they offer good cushioning and support for general athletic activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers inspired by basketball heritage. For professional play, specialized basketball shoes are recommended.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing provided. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult Nike's official sizing charts for accurate measurements.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesive, and cushioning. Always opt for spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
What does the '96 in the name signify?
The '96 refers to the original release year of the Air More Uptempo silhouette, highlighting its vintage roots.
How do the elastic straps on the tongue work?
These straps are designed to wrap around the midfoot, providing a snug and secure fit that enhances stability and comfort by preventing the tongue from shifting.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit upon first wear
The elastic straps may need a few wears to break in. Wear them for short periods initially and allow them to mold to your foot's shape.
Difficulty cleaning the textured branding
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the 'AIR' lettering. Blot dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Shoe feels stiff
Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, break-in periods are normal for shoes with synthetic uppers. Consistent wear will soften the material.
