Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year or two, you'd know that Nike's Air More Uptempo has become one of its most hyped basketball silhouettes. World-renowned for its show-stopping aesthetics and retro roots, sneakerheads - both old and new - can easily appreciate the model for what it is. With that said, if you're a fan of the vintage styling but you're looking for something a little more summer-ready, perhaps the upcoming Nike Air More Uptempo Slide "White Varsity Red Black" might be more your thing.
We've seen quite a few Uptempo Slides over the last couple of weeks, but this particular pair looks like something that the great Scottie Pippen might actually wear. Featuring a predominantly nubuck construction, the white strap is contrasted by the chunky "AIR" branding across the lateral and medial sidewalls. A varsity red Swoosh is finely stitched across the vamp, and underfoot, you'll find a beefy midsole complete with an exposed Air bubble around the back that falls in line with the Uptempo's design language. This offers unrivaled comfort and cushioning whether you're lounging at home or by the beach.
If you want the Nike Air More Uptempo Slide White Varsity Red Black in your warm weather rotation, then you'd better listen up. As you might have already gathered, they're set to release sometime in Summer 2023 in men's sizes via Nike, the SNKRS app, and select online and in-store locations worldwide, with a retail price of $85. More colorways are going to be announced very soon, so make sure you follow Sole Retriever on Twitter and download ourMobile App to keep up-to-date with everything that you need to know.
