Over the years, this silhouette has made waves with some incredible collaborations and limited releases that have collectors and fans scrambling to snag a pair.
Curious about the list? Let’s take a closer look at the bestNike Air Uptempocollaborations that have left sneaker lovers buzzing.
Nike Air Uptempo x Supreme (2017)
The Nike Air More Uptempo became “legendary” when Pippen wore it during the Chicago Bulls’ 1996 championship run.
In 2017, Supreme gave the 90s classic a bold new twist by replacing the signature “Air” lettering with their own “Supreme” branding, a move that’s rare for Nike collaborations. The updated design comes in three distinct colorways: Red, Black, and Gold.
Nike Air Uptempo x Kith (2016)
To honor the 20th anniversary of Scottie Pippen debuting the Olympic edition of the Nike Air More Uptempo in 1996, Kith partnered with Nike for a celebratory release. Exclusive pairs of the Olympic Air More Uptempo, featuring special packaging, were made available at Kith’s Manhattan and Brooklyn locations.
The first 96 customers at each store, a nod to the shoe’s 1996 debut, received a ticket to an exclusive event with Scottie Pippen at Kith Brooklyn on July 23rd. To top it off, these lucky sneakerheads also walked away with a limited-edition Nike Air More Uptempo cap.
Nike Air More Uptempo x Patta Chlorophyll (2024)
To mark 20 years of Patta’s legacy, Nike and the Dutch brand dropped an exclusive rerelease of the sought-after Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Chlorophyll.
Staying true to its roots, the refreshed design mirrors the original while adding subtle modern updates. The Chlorophyll and Matte Silver colorway is as iconic, with the custom Patta tongue label serving as a nod to the brand’s influence within sneaker culture.
Nike x Ambush (2023)
Nike and AMBUSH have teamed up once again to give the Air More Uptempo a fresh twist, reimagining the classic silhouette as a low top. The iconic bubble letters stand out in a sleek black finish with crisp white outlines, perfectly paired with accented laces. Black tones flow across the upper, balanced by subtle white accents that bring the design together effortlessly.
