Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult males seeking a stylish and bold sneaker for everyday wear. The key benefit is its distinctive design, inspired by the Chicago Bulls and the classic Air More Uptempo series. A potential caveat is that the bold aesthetic might not suit all personal styles. The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' features a black nubuck upper with iconic 'AIR' lettering split in the middle, finished with red and black coatings. Silver accents on the Swoosh, lacing, and insole, along with visible Air cushioning, complete the look.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Nike Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' sneakers:
- 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.
- 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.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
- 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.
