The Nike Air More Uptempo Is Back In Black

Back for the first time in three years.

The Nike Air More Uptempo Is Back In Black

Scottie Pippen’s Nike Air More Uptempo is back in the headlines with the return of its original black and white colorway, set to release August 21st for $170.

While the Air More Uptempo has never been fully archived, the original silhouette has taken a back seat in recent years as Nike introduced and briefly pushed an all-new low-top iteration. For sneaker purists and those who remember Nike Basketball’s golden era of the ’90s, however, there’s simply no substitute for the OG. This black and white makeup was one of five original colorways introduced during the Air More Uptempo’s inaugural run 30 years ago, pairing crisp white underlays with the silhouette’s unmistakable “AIR” branding.

The Nike Air More Uptempo “Black/White” releases August 21st via Nike and select retailers for $170. See official retailer images below if you’re planning to cop.
