First released in 1996, the Nike Air More Uptempo was made popular by Michael Jordan’s Hall of Famer teammate Scottie Pippen. This May, this iconic basketball pair will be releasing in a Sky Blue colorway.
The Nike Air More Uptempo was designed by famous sneaker designer Wilson Smith. The pair was inspired by oversized objects from the 90’s style of graffiti and art which explained the humongous “AIR” lettering.
The soon-to-be-released Nike Air More Uptempo will appear in white, football grey, and psychic blue iteration. The uppers are infused with full leather along with the signature “AIR” lettering on the sides and familiar perforations. The pair will be boasting a gradient color combination that goes from white to a darker shade of blue, which then goes throughout the midsole and the rubber outsole.
The Nike Air More Uptempo “Sky Blue” will kick off on May 1st. Pairs will be up for grabs at selected Nike stores for US$170.
