There are few college basketball programs with a legacy as rich as the Georgetown Hoyas. With a heritage circling John Thompson and the many Hall of Fame centers he helped mature throughout his celebrated tenure, the feared beast from the Big East represent a golden era of college hoops and traditional big men.

Nike, either directly or otherwise, pays tribute to the Hoyas with this striking new Air More Uptempo. Scheduled to drop on August 30 at select Nike retailers, coloring mimics the teams time-honored grey and navy two-tone palette which effortlessly oozes Hoya aesthetics. And although the silhouette was originally released in the mid ’90s, this particular colorway leans in the ’80s and Hoya greats like Patrick Ewing and his coach, Big John.

That said, grab a white towel and toss it around your neck in preparation of the Nike Air More Uptempo”Georgetown” on August 30.
