# Progrssive Chunky Running Sneakers Nike Introduces the Uplift SC Sneaker Model By Amy Duong | Published 2024-10-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-sc References: [nike](http://nike.com/)  Nike introduces a new chunky running shoe in the form of the Uplift SC model -- it is defined by its chunky heel unit. The rest of the shoe embraces a modern design with a mesh material making up the upper in a knitted form. This gives it a seamlessly breathable base and it rests on top of the model's chunky sole unit. For the new launch, the Nike Uplift SC shoes will be available in the essential colorways including all-black and black and white. The shoe also has a pop of color to stand out in contrast again the other neutral running silhouettes. There has yet to be a launch date for the Uplift SC shoes and only an official look.
