Japanese streetwear giant [AMBUSH](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-more-uptempo-4) continues to work closely beside [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-colorway) as the duo presents a new iteration of the Air Uptempo sneaker model for the season. The founder of the brand Yoon Ambush presented a look at the shoe on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trd-run-6), wearing them herself.

Based on this visual, it appears to have a tan colorway palette that is detailed with a bright yellow contrast in the form of the AIR branding along the sides. The forefoot is accented with olive tonal laces for a secure enclosure. The toe Swoosh is embroidered to add more branding and round out the upper's design. It all sits on op of the brand's signature chunky midsole foundation in black.
