Real and synthetic leather upper is durable and delivers a classic feel—just like the original. Originally designed for performance hoops, Max Air units in the forefoot, midfoot and heel add cushioning you have to feel to believe. 3 elastic straps over the tongue help keep these kicks in place, no matter if you rock them laced or unlaced. Rubber sole gives you durable traction. 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 its colors subtle with neutrals and pops of metallic silver. The iconic AIR graphic comes in high-contrast white for a little extra off-court flair. After all, "a little extra" is what these shoes do best.
