What makes this shoe so desirable? Premium black leather adorns the upper in that signature aesthetic that makes the Uptempo a sought-after release.
As the name would suggest, it first made an appearance in the late 90s before gaining status as a cult classic.
Although there’s been variations and upgrades to that original model, Nike pay homage to the original look. Everything has been maintained including the miniature ‘air’ branding on the sidewall, as well as the swoosh at the front.
It’s that chunky midsole which gives a striking, almost futuristic look.
Extending high at the rear, black coloured pods or Air Units give a one of a kind look – you won’t find this on any other release!
Finally, a visible Air Unit in the heel gives one last nod to this icon and offers that impressive cushioning.
Whether you love or hate this design, you have to appreciate the ‘old school’ aesthetic.
