Nike Air More Uptempo '96 Men's Shoes More than perhaps any other silhouette, the Air More Uptempo encapsulates '90s basketball flavor at its finest. Big and bold, the unapologetic design represents a hybrid of style and innovation that made major waves when it debuted—and still turns heads today. This crafted take keeps it simple and easy to style in classic black and white, while pops of blue add a breath of fresh air. Speaking of air, the graffiti-style AIR graphic (an off-court fave) extends down the midsole for extra punch. Visible Nike Air cushioning finishes it off, giving you the edge in comfort. Oversized, layered AIR branding celebrates the streets you walk and the Air you walk on. Nike Air technology absorbs impact for cushioning with every step. Synthetic leather in the upper with allover perforations is durable and incredibly airy. Elastic straps run across the top of the foot, letting you wear your sneakers without lacing up. Round laces match the round pull tabs for added style points while making it easy to take on and off.
