Air More Uptempo Background Check
So, the Air More Uptempo silhouette first appeared in 1996. This Nike sneaker has the three-letter statement “AIR” written on its upper. As the three letters hit the midsole, you could actually see a peek of the Air-Sole unit cushioning. This whole “AIR” design refers to graffiti art of the 90’s, which kind of makes sense. Moreover, this bold kick was originally designed for the Bulls star player Scottie Pippen. Hence, Pippen rocked them on many occasions like his fourth NBA title, sixth All-Star Game, and 1996 Olympic gold medal.
The Uptempo has had a quiet journey. However, their collab with supreme opened more eyes to how cool these shoes are. And so, they have seen a good strong comeback in recent years. Well, if the dad shoes can make it into the 2021 sneaker trends, so can the Uptempo.
