The upper is primarily constructed from black nubuck, offering a premium feel.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

These sneakers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and cushioning, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

Is the Air cushioning technology effective for all-day wear?

Yes, the visible Air cushioning provides good shock absorption and comfort suitable for extended daily wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe requires a brief break-in period.

Nubuck material getting dirty quickly

Apply a suede or nubuck protectant spray before wear. Clean regularly with a soft brush.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' sneakers:

  1. Cleaning the Nubuck Upper: Use a soft brush or a specialized nubuck cleaner to gently remove dirt and dust. Avoid using water excessively, as it can stain nubuck. For tougher spots, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to prevent dust and damage.
