FAQs

What does 'Split' refer to in the product name?

'Split' refers to the iconic 'AIR' lettering on the side of the shoe, which is divided into two parts, often with contrasting colors or finishes, as seen in this red and black iteration inspired by the Chicago Bulls.

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear. For serious athletic performance, dedicated basketball shoes are recommended.

How should I clean the silver accents?

Gently wipe the silver accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this could damage the finish.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from black nubuck and leather for a premium look and feel.

Does this shoe offer good arch support?

The shoe features Nike Air cushioning for comfort and impact absorption. While supportive for casual wear, individuals requiring significant arch support may wish to consider aftermarket insoles.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these leather shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the leather and affect the shoe's longevity.

What other sizes or colors are available?

The Nike Air More Uptempo '96 'Split' may be available in various sizes and colorways. Please check the product listing or contact customer support for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and ensure your socks are not too thick. If the issue persists after several wears, consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Leather creasing excessively

Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize premature creasing, avoid overly bending the shoe when walking and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace frayed laces with new ones. Ensure you are using the original lacing pattern or a preferred alternative that doesn't put undue stress on the laces.
