Jovani Hernandez Since its founding, NIKE, Inc. has established a steady flow of sneaker releases for even the smallest sneaker heads in the family. While many of those offerings have simply been takedown versions of adult pairs, the North American institution has begun prepping kid-exclusive releases.
The ever-iconic Nike Air More Uptempo has recently surfaced in a near-tonal style for toddlers. Nubuck construction throughout the pair’s upper indulges in a “Marina Blue”-reminiscent tone, which has recently appeared on the Nike Dunk and Air Jordan 1 Low. “AIR”-lettering appears on the sneaker’s profiles, but no visible Air Max-cushioning is in sight, likely for cost purposes and because ultra-responsive and comfortable tooling is virtually useless in footwear for infants. A varying shade of blue animates the model’s canvas-like detailing throughout the upper, while white-colored contrast lands on the laces, pull tabs, swoosh branding and entire sole unit.
Enjoy official images of the pair here below, and anticipate a Nike.com launch in 2022.
