[Nike Running](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-running-the-corner) has added the 'Air Zoom Tempo NEXT%' to its lineup, which boasts a bold design that's said to take inspiration from Shanghai architecture.

The runners are offered in a [bright colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-craze) that combines hues of orange and pink, which are contrasted with white and black accents. These shades are primarily used throughout the midsoles, where Nike includes a mosaic print that really sets the design apart from others. The knit uppers offer plenty of breathability and comfort, making the Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% lightweight and supportive enough for runners of all levels.

The updated silhouette is available exclusively from [Nike Running retailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-running-collection) in China, and can be found online from the brand's web store.
