This Nike Air More Uptempo is on the way

Brandon King

We here at sneakershoptalk have been outspoken critics of anytime a brand runs a shoe to retail far too often. Often times these colouways are derivative and/or badly executed. Occasionally in the deluge of such sneakers, there will be a scant few that are pulled off well , and such is the case with this upcoming Air More Uptempo. It sports a perforated sail leather upper with the silhouette’s signature “AIR” overlays, which in this case are black-bordered and feature a basketball colour and texture. A sail Swoosh is present…

This Nike Air Foamposite One started its life as a rarely seen PE on the feet of one Mr. Anfernee Hardaway back in 1997 and it appears in 2023 you may have a chance at them, as they are coming to retail.

“Prelude” Nike Zoom Kobe VI could be on the way

Brandon King

The ”Prelude” Kobe VI was part of an eight shoe lineup , that was very hard to get ( an unfortunate indicator of the direction Nike would foolishly take the line in), in the build up to the launch of the Kobe 9, an amazing shoe, both on an off the court. The snakeskin-textured upper of the ”Prelude” VI sports a graffiti design that is inspired by Kobe’s Venice neighborhood. Volt Swooshes adorn the lateral and medial sides ; the same is also presnt on the Kobe logo on the…

“Metallic Red” Nike Air Foamposite One returning in 2023

Brandon King

When it originally released back in 2012, the ”Metallic Red” was very well-received. A subsequent second retail run in 2017 was absolutely botched by Nike in that the numbers were daftly limited. It now appears they will make another comeback in 2023. At this early juncture there are no images but it should be a fairly reproduction of its forbears, we hope, in that it will sport a red Foamposite upper with black nubuck at the eyerows. Black also shows up on the tongue and inner with a One Cent…

An initial look at the ”Cobalt Bliss” Nike Air More Uptempo

Brandon King

I have been an unabashed critic of the over saturation and bastardization of the Nike Air More Uptempo with colorways both unwanted nor needed. If Nike just released the original two colorways ( black/white and Olympic) in a method that allowed for the people who actually wanted them to easily access them, they would be printing money( even moreso than they are currently). With that being said, there is another colorway of the More Uptempo on the horizon, and while once again, these were not a requested sneaker , they…
