FAQs
How do the Nike Air More Uptempo 'Black White' 2020 fit?
The fit can be somewhat narrow and snug. It is often recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully, as some users find they run true to size while others prefer to go up half a size for more room.
Are these shoes good for actual basketball games?
While they were originally designed for basketball and feature performance elements like Air-Sole cushioning and traction, they are now primarily considered a lifestyle and streetwear shoe. For modern, high-performance basketball, dedicated performance basketball shoes are generally recommended.
What is the main appeal of the 'Black White' colorway?
The 'Black White' colorway offers a classic, bold, and versatile look. The contrast between the black base and white 'AIR' lettering makes the iconic branding pop, creating a strong visual statement that is both timeless and fashionable.
How should I clean the leather and mesh parts?
For leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For mesh, a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution works best. Always wipe away excess moisture and allow to air dry.
What does the '2020' in the product name refer to?
The '2020' typically refers to the year this specific colorway and design was re-released or produced. The original design dates back to 1996.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides traction, the materials are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their condition and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone easily
Try double-knotting the laces or consider replacing them with laces that offer better grip.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Ensure shoes are completely dry and try talcum powder on the insole if the noise persists.
Discomfort in the arch area
The arch support is integrated into the shoe's design. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional support.
Material scuffing or wear
Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prevent premature wear. For minor scuffs, a leather cleaner or polish may be used.
