Another colourway of the Nike More Uptempo is on the way

Brandon King

With its unique aesthetic of “AIR” spelled on the sides and being seen on the feet of Scottie Pippen ( back when he had some sense), became and remained one of the most popular silhouettes from the “Golden Era” of NIke Basketball. The popularity it still enjoys today speaks to the staying power of the Wilson Smith-designed classic.
