FAQs

What is the main design inspiration for the Air More Uptempo 96 Animal Instinct?

The design is inspired by a 'jungle vibe,' incorporating patterns and textures reminiscent of various wild animals like zebras, giraffes, leopards, crocodiles, and snakes.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While they feature Air cushioning and a durable outsole, they are primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear fashion rather than high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the animal print sections?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, use a very mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What does 'GS' mean in some Air More Uptempo models?

GS typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is sized for younger, non-adult wearers.

What are the primary materials used in this shoe?

The shoe features a base of smooth white leather with perforated details, and the 'AIR' branding is made from synthetic materials with animal patterns.

What is the purpose of the large 'AIR' lettering?

The oversized 'AIR' lettering is a signature design element of the Air More Uptempo series, providing a bold and unmistakable aesthetic.

Where is the Nike Swoosh logo located on this shoe?

Red Nike Swooshes are featured on the heel tab, toe cap, midsole, and outsole. A large black Nike Swoosh is also present on the outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are loosened appropriately before wearing. Wear with suitable socks. Break-in the shoes gradually over a few wears.

Discoloration on the upper.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean only with recommended mild cleaning agents and damp cloths.

Traction feels reduced.

Clean the outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the outsole is dry.

Visible Air unit appears deflated.

This is unlikely unless there is a significant puncture. Minor perceived changes are usually normal settling of materials. Contact customer support if you suspect damage.

  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with a bit of water and mild soap to clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
