The Nike Air More Uptempo OG “Black/White” is set to return in Fall 2026, bringing back one of Nike Basketball’s loudest ’90s designs. Known for its oversized “AIR” branding, the classic colorway still feels tied to Scottie Pippen’s playoff-era run and the bold style of that decade.

This 2026 release is expected to use the same SKU as the 2023 retro, which leaned closer to the original 1996 build. The shoe features a black nubuck upper with white trim outlining the large side panels, giving the design its signature contrast.

A black jeweled Swoosh appears on the heel, while full-length Air cushioning keeps the model rooted in its performance past. The bulky sole and aggressive shape also helped the Air More Uptempo become a favorite beyond the court, especially in streetwear circles.
