Nike Air More Uptempo - Black White - UK 6

While inspired by basketball and featuring Air cushioning, the 2016 retro is primarily considered a lifestyle sneaker. For serious basketball play, newer performance-oriented shoes might offer better support and stability.

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a melamine foam eraser (like a magic eraser) can be used very gently, but test on a small area first to avoid damaging the material or reflective coating.

Durabuck is a synthetic material that mimics the look and feel of nubuck leather, offering durability and a premium aesthetic. It requires specific cleaning methods to maintain its texture.

The reflective elements are designed to catch light and create a visible highlight. They are noticeable in moderate to low light conditions when light hits them directly, but they are not illuminated on their own.

The Air More Uptempo generally fits true to size for most people. However, due to its construction, some may find it snug initially. It's advisable to consult Nike's official size guide or try them on if possible.

The 2016 release refers to a specific production run of the 'Black White' colorway. While the core design remains consistent with its 1996 inspiration, minor updates in materials or manufacturing processes may exist between different release years.

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider lacing techniques to adjust pressure points.

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild cleaner specifically designed for nubuck or Durabuck. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Inspect the Air unit for any punctures or leaks. If damaged, professional repair may be difficult, and replacement might be necessary. Minor scuffs can often be cleaned.

Reflective materials can degrade over time with wear and cleaning. Avoid harsh scrubbing on these areas. The effect may naturally diminish with age.
