As some of you may know, the Olympic Games are set to take place next year in Paris, France. To celebrate the Olympic game, Nike Sportswear will be releasing a collection of sneaker paying homage to the major international multi-sport event. One pair that will be part of said collection is the return of the Nike Air More Uptempo in the Olympic colorway. The Nike Air More Uptempo Olympic is a patriotic take on the model that was famously worn by Scottie Pippen during the 1996 Atlanta Games. Done in White, Midnight Navy, Metallic Gold, and University Red color scheme, the sneaker features a Navy nubuck base contrasted by the White “AIR” lettering that wrap all around the sneaker. The same two hues extend down to the sole, which comes equipped with an Air sole unit. Other defining details include Scottie Pippen’s Olympic jersey number, “8,” outlined in Metallic Gold on the heels accompanied by a Navy jewel Swoosh just below it. Red embroidered Swoosh branding on the White leather tongue tag, dual pull tabs, a mesh tongue and embroidered Navy Swoosh branding on the toe are also part of the sneaker’s design.
