FAQs
What is the primary material of the Nike Air More Uptempo 96?
The primary material for the upper is nubuck, which provides a soft texture and a premium look.
How do I clean the 'AIR' lettering?

Is the Air unit replaceable?
No, the full-length Air unit is integrated into the sole of the shoe and is not designed to be replaceable.
What is the intended use for these sneakers?
These sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They offer comfort for everyday activities but are not intended for high-impact athletic training.
When was the original Nike Air More Uptempo released?
The original Nike Air More Uptempo was first introduced in 1996.
What does the '96' in the name signify?
The '96' refers to the year the original Nike Air More Uptempo model was released.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, nubuck material is not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to maintain their appearance and condition.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try wearing thicker socks or inserting an insole liner to minimize friction. Ensure the laces are tied properly.
Nubuck material appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaning kit. Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of nubuck cleaner with a cloth, working in small circular motions, and then brush to restore the nap. Avoid using excessive water.
Laces feel loose or do not stay tied
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets correctly. Try a double knot for a more secure tie. If laces are worn, consider replacing them.
