FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the 'Split' colorway?

The 'Split' colorway is inspired by the iconic Chicago Bulls team colors, featuring a prominent black and red split on the 'AIR' lettering.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear. They offer cushioning but may lack the specific support and traction required for competitive play.

How do I clean the nubuck leather upper?

Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow the instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water.

What does 'UK 10.5' refer to?

This refers to the UK sizing system for men's footwear, specifically size 10.5.

What are the silver details on the shoe?

The silver details include the Nike Swoosh logo, elements of the lacing system, and accents on the insole.

Is the 'AIR' lettering raised?

Yes, the 'AIR' lettering is a signature design element of the More Uptempo series and is prominently raised on the sides of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new laces. Ensure proper lacing technique to avoid excessive stress.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to the tongue rubbing against the inner lining or air unit. Try loosening or adjusting the laces. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the sound originates there.

Nubuck material appearing dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner following product instructions.

Color transfer from lettering

While designed with durable coatings, extreme friction or moisture could potentially lead to minor transfer. Ensure shoes are dry and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the nubuck, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a suede eraser. Avoid soaking the shoes.

  3. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and nubuck to protect against the elements.
