Update: Word of the Nike Air More Uptempo “Olympic” returning in 2024 was shared at the end of last year. Now, Nike has shared the shoe’s official imagery as it gears up to launch alongside this year’s Olympic Games in Paris. The shoe stays true to its original 1996 appearance with white overlays resting atop a blue base. Release is set for August 11 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $170 USD.
Original Story: The Nike Air More Uptempo is making a comeback in the “Olympic” colorway next summer. Set to pay homage to the 2024 Olympic Games held in Paris between July 26 and August 11 next year, the retro basketball high-top comes in a patriotic theme ready for the summer games.
The classic shoe, made popular by Scottie Pippen and worn by the legendary basketball player during the 1996 Atlanta Games, returns in a striking white, midnight navy, metallic gold and university red color scheme. The patriotic-themed shoe also features the signature “AIR” lettering in white on top of the navy nubuck uper. The same white and blue mix extends to the midsole where the Air sole units are visible. The heel tab features Pippen’s Olympic jersey No. 8 outlined in gold, situated right above the navy jewel Swoosh.
Look out for the Nike Air More Uptempo “Olympic” arriving in August 2024 at select retailers and online at Nike for $170 USD.
