Nike Air More Uptempo '96 - Black - Kids - UK 12

The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 offers good cushioning and support for everyday activities and light play. For specialized high-impact sports, consider footwear designed specifically for that sport's requirements.

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.

It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand wash or wipe clean with a damp cloth.

The prominent "AIR" lettering is a signature design element of the Air More Uptempo series, contributing to its bold aesthetic. The visible Air cushioning technology within the sole provides the functional benefit of responsive comfort and impact protection.

While this guide focuses on the black variant, Nike often releases this model in various colorways. Please check product listings for other available options.

Kids' sizing generally runs smaller and narrower than adult sizing. While the design is similar, the fit and specific construction are tailored for children's feet.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. Ensure the correct size was purchased; consider socks thickness when trying on.

Ensure laces are fully loosened. Using a shoe horn can help ease the foot into the shoe, especially for younger children.

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes may be used, followed by a conditioning agent if appropriate.

The visible Air unit is designed for cushioning and impact absorption. While durable, it is not a mechanical pump and its appearance should not be confused with being 'flat'. If there is a noticeable lack of cushioning, ensure the shoe size is correct and it's being used for its intended purpose.
