As Nike Basketball shows love to many silhouettes from the 1990s, the imprint has revisited newer colorways of these “golden era” models. A “White/Varsity Red” iteration of the
Nike Air More Uptempo for Men/Women from 2018 is the latest example to surface, as it heads to retailers in April. Dubbed “Renowned Rhythm,” the Chicago Bulls-friendly arrangement predominantly applies a clean style across the sneaker’s upper and sole unit.
The North Carolina-esque rendition furthered Nike Sportswear’s recent retro obsession with upgrading the performance silhouette into a more lifestyle-ready context, and the
Nike Air More Uptempo Online, the Nike Air Max2 Uptempo, and the Nike Air Max Uptempo 97 all benefited from the clean look. Select Asian retailers are already reporting a Saturday release with other stateside shops looking to drop the Uptempo “All-Star” Pack on February 25th as well.
Back in 2006, Nike re-released a widely popular Nike Basketball shoe from the mid-90’s catalog – the
Shop Nike Air More Uptempo – in the classic White/Blue/Black colorway. These were often attributed to the Duke Blue Devils, who wore a number of different Nike Basketball shoes like the Air Flight Huarache, Air Force Max B, and Air Unlimited, but it was also the UConn Huskies who rocked these beauties throughout most of the ’95 Tourney.
Enlarged “AIR” lettering on the profiles are outlined by stark red contrast, effectively a nod to Scottie Pippen’s on-court flair throughout the ’90s. Swoosh branding across the shoe and the
Buy Nike Air More Uptempo units underfoot also indulge in “Varsity Red” flavor, which is sure to have this pair sell out quickly upon release.
The All-Star Weekend festivities may be over, but Nike Sportswear still has a bunch of heat that was unveiled in New Orleans last week opening up for a more general release this Saturday, February 25th. Perhaps the most unexpected drop was the
Nike Air More Uptempo Sale University Blue “All-Star” Pack, a trio that took the infamous Uptempo series to task with a lifestyle suede rendition on each classic 90s basketball model.
