Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the 'Air More Uptempo Low' sneaker model with a white and green colorway palette. It is set to officially hit the markets on June 1st with inspiration from the Celtics. It continues to grow the legacy of the iconic silhouette as the low-cut version made its original debut back in 2024.
It has since been a go-to addition to the sneaker roster. The option of white and green is meant to release in the summer and continues to draw design cues from the classic shoe. It features the protruding 'AIR' text in the green ballistic material. The same green makes its way to the pull tabs along with the jewel tongue Swoosh motif that rests on top of a nearly all-white upper.
