Nike Air More Uptempo - Black - UK 7

While inspired by basketball and featuring Air cushioning, they are primarily considered a lifestyle shoe today. For serious basketball performance, newer, more specialized models might offer better support and traction.

Durabuck is a synthetic material designed to resemble nubuck leather. It's known for its durability and a soft, velvety texture, offering a premium feel while being more resilient than natural suede.

Clean the lettering gently with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as the reflective coating can be sensitive to abrasion.

Scottie Pippen famously wore the Air More Uptempo during the Chicago Bulls' dominant 1995-1996 championship season, cementing their status as an iconic basketball shoe of the era.

While marketed towards men, the sizing is generally unisex. Women can typically wear them by converting their US size to the equivalent men's size (usually subtracting 1.5 sizes).

The 'Black White' colorway mentioned here is representative of re-releases. While specific details may vary slightly between years, the core design, materials, and technology remain consistent with the original 1996 release.

It's recommended to try them on if possible. If ordering online, consult Nike's official size chart and consider your preferred sock thickness. Many find they fit true to size, but some prefer a half-size up for extra room.

Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. You can also try using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is persistent.

Use a suede brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

The clarity of the Air unit can naturally decrease with wear. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth may help, but significant cloudiness is often a sign of age and use.
