What material is the upper made of?
The upper of the Nike Air More Uptempo 'Black White' is primarily made of durable leather.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure all eyelets are evenly laced and pull the laces snugly. For a looser fit, slacken the laces, especially around the ankle area.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a thin sock liner or talcum powder inside the shoe. If the squeak persists, it might be from the sole unit and may resolve with further wear.
Discoloration on white "AIR" lettering
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft brush or magic eraser for white lettering. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
