The high-flying basketball style of the ’80s and ’90s lives on in the Nike Air More Uptempo ’96. With its distinctive branding and visible cushioning, there’s no mistaking these kicks’ honourable place in sneakerhead history. Pops of red highlight the crisp white upper, helping you turn heads and make a statement all of your own.
This upcoming release features a clean white leather upper with red accents on the Swoosh, pull-tabs, and midsole. A touch of silvery-grey appears underneath the giant AIR on the upper, while the outsole itself appears in the same soft light grey shade with the subtlest of speckling. A touch of black on the midsole would lend to a “Fire Red” look from the Air Jordan 5, although it’s clear that Nike never intended that connection.
