From Olympic to University Blue: Best Nike Air More Uptempo sneakers
1) Nike Air More Uptempo Olympic
Scottie Pippen's time with the USA Basketball team at the 1996 Olympic Games served as the inspiration for the first version of these Air More Uptempo trainers.
Both Pippen and Charles Barkley wore it as the team marched to a second consecutive gold medal. Since then, it has been re-released twice, in 2012 and 2016, and a third retro is presently planned to honor the Games once more.
This Uptempo's distinguishing feature is the striking white leather "AIR" overlays on the medial and lateral sides, which are made of navy blue nubuck and both drop their crisp colors down onto the midsole for further contrast.
The tongue and toe cap are made of white leather and feature Swoosh logos in red and blue, respectively.
2) Nike Air More Uptempo Flax
This Air More Uptempo is from Nike’s Fall 2017 “Flax” collection. This version features a premium buttery wheat-colored suede upper.
It has the signature "AIR" branding stitched at the sides. The shoe has three Air Sole units, which is the most ever in one shoe at a time. The outer soles incorporate extensions including small white Nike Swooshes. The colorway of the shoe comprised Phantom, Flax, Gum Light Brown, and white.
3) Nike Air More Uptempo Bordeaux
This iteration of Air More Uptempo also hit the market in 2017 and instantly got super popular among sneakerheads because of its dark wine-inspired maroon color palate.
