FAQs

What is the main inspiration for the 'Split' design?

The 'Split' design of the 'AIR' lettering is inspired by the iconic Chicago Bulls team colors and aesthetic, adding a unique thematic element to the classic Air More Uptempo silhouette.

Are these suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' is primarily designed for everyday wear and streetwear. For competitive basketball, specialized performance shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the nubuck material?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water.

What does 'UK 10' refer to?

UK 10 refers to the United Kingdom sizing standard for men's footwear. It corresponds to a specific foot length within that sizing system.

What colors are present in this 'Split' design?

The primary color is black, with the 'AIR' lettering featuring a red and black coating. Silver accents are present on the Swoosh, lacing, and insole.

Does this shoe have good cushioning?

Yes, the Nike Air More Uptempo '96 features visible Nike Air units in the sole for responsive cushioning and comfort during daily wear.

What is the release date of this model?

This specific model was released on 05/03/2022.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather upper offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to preserve the materials, especially the nubuck.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper

Natural creasing may occur with wear. To minimize this, consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid excessive bending of the shoe.

Difficulty lacing

Ensure laces are threaded through the eyelets smoothly. The lace lock can be adjusted by pressing the small button on its side.

Nubuck material looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated nubuck cleaning brush to restore the texture. For stains, apply a nubuck cleaner sparingly with a cloth and follow the product's instructions.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to the tongue rubbing against the upper or air units settling. Try adjusting the lacing or applying a small amount of powder under the tongue.
