FAQs

What does 'Animal Instinct' refer to in the name?

The 'Animal Instinct' refers to the jungle-inspired animal print patterns used on the exaggerated 'AIR' branding and other parts of the shoe, such as zebra, giraffe, leopard, crocodile, and snake prints.

Are these shoes comfortable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Nike Air More Uptempo features a full-length visible Air cushioning unit in the midsole, providing good comfort for walking and standing throughout the day.

How do I clean the different animal print sections?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the printed areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage or remove the prints. Allow to air dry.

What year was the 'Animal Instinct' released?

The Nike Air More Uptempo 'Animal Instinct' was released on November 19, 2022.

Can I wear these for playing sports?

These are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion sneakers. While they offer good traction, they are not engineered for the high-performance demands of most sports.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The primary material of the upper is smooth white leather, complemented by synthetic materials featuring the various animal prints.

Does this shoe come in other colors besides the Animal Instinct version?

The Air More Uptempo series has been released in numerous colorways over the years. The 'Animal Instinct' is a specific, distinctive iteration within that series.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and placing a small piece of tissue or powder underneath it. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Prints on the side appear to be fading or peeling

Avoid harsh cleaning methods, excessive water, and direct heat for drying. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is recommended. If peeling has started, cease cleaning the affected area to prevent further damage.

Uneven traction or slipping

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The herringbone pattern provides grip on dry and moderately wet surfaces, but extreme conditions may still pose a risk. Check for excessive wear on the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: Designed as a lifestyle shoe, they pair well with a wide range of casual and streetwear apparel. Consider the bold pattern when matching with other clothing items to avoid clashing styles.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and printed synthetic materials with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, which can damage the prints.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs from the rubber components. For stubborn marks on the white midsole, a magic eraser can be used sparingly.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and fading.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and maintain shape.
