[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-colorway) prepares for the fall season to arrive later this year with a new tonal iteration of the chunky Air More Uptempo sneaker model -- the latest spotlights the Cargo Khaki colorway palette. The retro design language nods to the 90s with the dramatic chunky shape.

It is detailed with a cargo khaki upper which is further detailed with touches of black that can be seen in the AIR branding detail. There are also brighter hints of pecan and [alpha orange](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-total-orange) that are added to the mix to bring a touch of contrast. The construction spotlights a blend of suede leather with canvas and mesh materials for a breathable touch along with a rubber sole unit foundation.
