The Nike Air More Uptempo is one of the most recognizable silhouettes in Nike’s arsenal, beloved for its unique overlays and 90s-era heritage. The Beaverton brand’s latest Uptempo delivery channels said roots through vintage Nike Basketball branding, matching the design theme of a recently unveiled Air Force 1.

Vintage green coloring sets the tone for this pair, appearing notably on the midsole, lining, and jewel Swoosh on the heel. The “AIR” overlays are constructed from sea glass colored suede, offering a subtle yet impactful contrast with the leather base underneath. Underfoot, the air bubble towards the heel appears in orange to match the vintage Nike Basketball branding stamped on the insole.

No release date has been set, but expect this pair to drop soon alongside the similarly treated Air Force 1.
