Nike brings back the iconic Air More Uptempo shoe in a muted color scheme of white, grey, and sail that exudes a refined balance of classic style and modern refinement.
Fans of the original design will be thrilled to see the classic shape back in a crisp white leather finish. The Uptempo silhouette has undergone specific changes from previous releases, most noticeably in the more significant ‘AIR’ inscription, which now uses a two-tone greyscale approach. When exposed to light, the 3M reflective material used for the text’s base layer reveals a faint shine. However, the shoe’s sophisticated contrast comes from the light bone hue of the leather letter overlays.
The grey logo at the toe and heel elevate the sneaker’s upper. This adds dimension and clarity to the sneaker, making it look better overall. The outstanding design ideas behind the sneaker are communicated through a well-thought-out color scheme that combines shades of grey on a primarily white background. The sneaker’s sail sole unit, which nods to its heritage while keeping it contemporary, is the foundation of its neo-vintage aesthetic.
Expect the Nike Air More Uptempo White-Grey to drop at select Swoosh shops and Nike.com in the coming weeks, as shown in the images below. Retail is set for $175.
