Air More Uptempo ’96 – White/Midnight Navy-Metallic Gold
Back in-time for the 2024 Paris Olympics, Nike re-issues the pair worn by Scottie Pippen during the ’96 games in Atlanta.
Arguably the most iconic Nike to never wear a Swoosh, the Air More Uptempo was like nothing before it. The massive array of Air bubbles, the supersized midsole with ‘fingers’ clutching around the sole and of course, that AIR branding.
On the feet of Scottie Pippen these helped to guide the Chicago Bulls team to their ’96 series championship. Not stopping there, Pippen would take the Air More Uptempo to the top of world sports, winning Olympic gold. Much more than that, Wilson Smith’s iconic design inspired by hip-hop and graffiti, remains a style icon.Â
