Nike’s Air More Uptempo has recently received a ‘Red Toe’ colorway for the Los Angeles Lakers, a fall-focused ‘Wheat Gum’ colorway, and now the sneaker has returned in a new ‘Cobalt Bliss’ iteration. The ‘Cobalt Bliss’ Air More Uptempo boasts a black nubuck base construction with the signature ‘AIR’ branding covering majority of the shoe. The branding is outlined in a ‘Cobalt Blue’ shade, referencing the name of the colorway alongside the other neutral shades, and the overlays come dipped in a clean white.
The sneaker rests on a white and black rubber sole, while Nike Swoosh branding can be spotted on the black base stripes. The ‘Cobalt Bliss’ Air More Uptempo will be made available on the Nike website in the coming weeks.
