The Nike Air More Uptempo likes to pop up in new or OG colorways every here and there with its latest offering taking the casual/lifesyle route. Dressed in a White, Obsidian, and Total Orange color scheme. Dark, raw finishes line the exterior of its “AIR” overlays, with much brighter weft poking through its slightly open weaves. Lined by a backing of white, the segments segue quite easily into the much brighter baby blues of the material’s washed variation; seeing wider use across almost all of its profile and tongue, it’s no match to the color of the bleached swatch that accents the top line as well as the toe cap.
Look for the Nike Air More Uptempo “Denim” to release on August 10th at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $160 USD.
