As the world prepares for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Nike Sportswear is ready to shine with the Air More Uptempo Slide “Olympic” release. This launch coincides with the much-anticipated return of the “Olympic” Air More Uptempo, a beloved classic for sneaker fans and basketball enthusiasts.

The “Olympic” Air More Uptempo first appeared in 1996 and quickly gained iconic status. NBA legend Scottie Pippen, a member of the Dream Team II, wore these sneakers during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. The team dominated, winning the gold medal. The shoe’s bold design, featuring oversized “AIR” lettering, and the striking colorway of Midnight Navy, White, and University Red, made it a standout on and off the court.

To celebrate the 2024 Summer Olympics, Nike is re-releasing this beloved model and introducing a new addition: the Air More Uptempo Slide “Olympic.” These slides mirror the original sneaker’s color palette, blending Midnight Navy and White with a University Red Swoosh logo. They also feature the distinctive oversized “AIR” lettering, capturing the classic design’s essence while offering the comfort of a slide.
