The Nike Air More Uptempo Goes ‘Triple Black’
The shows absolutely no sign of slowing down in 2023 with the imminent arrival of the tried and true ‘Triple Black’ rendition. This monochromatic makeup has been explored before on the 1990s basketball classic, but this time it’s for the little ones as this will be a Grade School release.
The shrunken size keeps almost every detail found on the adult-sized version. Some GS wearers may find issue with the fact that the midsole’s visible Air units only appear on the heel of the shoe, but these are the compromises that have to be made when reducing a sneaker’s stature. Other elements are retained, though, including the perforated upper panelling, massive ‘AIR’ branding and the very necessary ‘jewel’ Swoosh on the heel.
Of course, the key colour story here is that there is none at all – it’s the reliable ‘Triple Black’ edition that enterprising junior sneakerheads might be able to sneak with their school uniform. Keep an eye out for this Air More Uptempo at Nike retailers in coming months.
