FAQs

What materials are used in the Nike Air More Uptempo 96 'Cargo Khaki'?

The sneaker features a blend of leather, suede, and mesh materials for durability and style.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by 90s basketball shoes, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For intense basketball games, specialized performance footwear is recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner and careful application are recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What does the 'Cargo Khaki' colorway represent?

The 'Cargo Khaki' colorway primarily consists of earthy green tones, giving the sneaker a rugged yet stylish appeal, contrasted with black and orange accents.

How is the cushioning in these trainers?

The trainers feature visible Air Max units in the midsole, providing responsive cushioning and impact protection for comfortable wear.

What is the retail price of these trainers?

The retail price was $175 USD upon its initial release on September 14, 2022.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The combination of leather and suede offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are cleaned and dried properly if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal parts. Try inserting a talcum powder or cornstarch lightly under the insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction. Ensure the laces are tied at a comfortable but not overly tight tension.

Discoloration of suede material

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and oils. Clean gently with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Air Max units are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for high-impact activities that exceed their design purpose. Proper care and avoiding overloading the cushioning can help prolong its effectiveness.

Traction feels reduced

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the treads thoroughly with a damp cloth and brush. If the outsole is significantly worn down, traction may be compromised, and it may be time to consider replacement.

Pros and Cons

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Cleaning Leather: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, consider a suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning Mesh: Gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and air dry.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.
