FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but because of the padded interior, some users prefer a half-size larger for extra room.

Can I use these for sports?

While they were originally performance basketball shoes, they are now marketed as lifestyle trainers; they lack the lightweight performance features found in modern sports-specific footwear.

How do I maintain the White and Grey colours?

Spot clean regularly with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the material finish.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The structure of the shoe provides a secure fit, and the lacing system allows for some adjustment, which can accommodate various foot shapes.

What does the Air unit do?

The Air unit provides impact absorption and energy return, reducing the pressure on your joints while walking.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the standard insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box

This is a natural result of wear on leather-style trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing to help minimize visible creasing.

Difficulty keeping them clean

Apply a water and stain repellent spray compatible with the shoe's materials to create a protective barrier against dirt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, highly recognizable retro aesthetic
  • Durable build quality suitable for frequent use
  • Reliable Air cushioning for daily comfort
  • Strong ankle support due to the high-top design

Cons

  • Heavier than contemporary lightweight trainers
  • Bulky silhouette may not suit all fashion preferences
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air More Uptempo 96 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these trainers feature a multi-material design, avoid machine washing them, as this can degrade the adhesives and structural components. Instead, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains on the leather or synthetic overlays, use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the silhouette of the toe box.
