Nike Women's Air More Uptempo Styled By...
The Air More Uptempo stands as one of the most distinct models in Nike Basketball’s rich catalogue. Conceived by Wilson Smith in 1996, the More Uptempo’s bold ‘Air’ branding speaks volumes. This limited-release version of the Uptempo is only sold through select doors worldwide, with a clean White and Sail colourway making it an extremely wearable version of the basketball classic.
For the upcoming Women's Nike Air More Uptempo, we asked some of our favourite local brands to create their own vision for Air More Uptempo.
