The Nike Air More Uptempo Honors Its Designer, Wilson Smith

Wilson Smith has designed a bevy of iconic Nike and Air Jordan sneakers throughout his illustrious career one of which is the Nike Air More Uptempo. Nike is paying homage to Wilson with this take on the sneaker featuring his name on the overlays.

First seen on the hash wall racks at Nike Outlets, the sneaker takes on the iconic Black/White colorway of the Air More Uptempo, more famously worn by Scottie Pippen during the 95/96 NBA season and replaces the “AIR” overlays with “WILSON” that wraps around the sneaker from the lateral to medial side with a white border. Everything else pretty much stays true to the OG with the Swoosh stitched on the toebox and elastic straps seen on a few Uptempo models as well as the black midsole and full-length visible Air units for cushioning.

It’s still unknown if the Nike Air More Uptempo “Wilson Smith” will release on SNKRS and at select retailers but check out the photos below and keep it locked to Nice Kicks for any updates. For all the latest drop dates, head over to our Sneaker Release Dates page.
