Nike Air More Uptempo '96 'Thank You, Wilson' - White - UK 13

This colorway pays homage to Wilson Smith III, the designer behind the original Air More Uptempo, featuring his initials and branding related to his first day at Nike.

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily lifestyle sneakers. They offer comfort for casual wear but may not provide the advanced support and technology required for competitive play.

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the lettering. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

The upper features a gridded textile base with durable tumbled leather overlays.

The 3M reflective detailing enhances visibility primarily when light sources, like headlights, hit them directly in low-light environments.

The sneaker features a traditional lacing system combined with a hook-and-loop closure strap for a secure and adjustable fit.

The sole unit includes a rubber outsole with a classic herringbone pattern, designed for reliable traction.

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets and that there are no knots or twists. Adjust the hook-and-loop closure as needed.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather conditioner if necessary.

Air-Sole units can naturally compress with use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain their integrity. For significant loss of cushioning, consider professional shoe refurbishment or replacement.

The herringbone outsole provides good traction, but like all rubber outsoles, performance can be diminished on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean.
