FAQs
Is the Nike Air More Uptempo true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a wider fit, consider going up by half a size.
Are these suitable for professional basketball?
While originally a performance basketball shoe, modern technology has advanced significantly; most athletes prefer lighter, more flexible options for professional play.
What does the 33 on the heel signify?
The 33 embroidered on the heel is a tribute to New York basketball legend Patrick Ewing.
How do I clean the white leather parts?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mixture of mild dish soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the materials are durable, it is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage to the stitching and internal components.
Troubleshooting
Visible Air unit is cloudy
Use a soft brush and gentle soap solution to remove external grime; if the cloudiness is internal, it may be due to moisture ingress.
Creasing on the upper
Leather creasing is a natural characteristic of wear. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air More Uptempos maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather and synthetic overlays with a damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can affect the glue integrity.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white base and blue accents to yellow over time.
- Lacing: The lockdown provided by the design is enhanced by keeping the laces snug across the midfoot. Replace standard laces if they become frayed to maintain a polished look.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the visible Air unit for any debris lodged in the grooves to prevent damage to the clear material.
