Just when you thought the Nike Air More Uptempo 96 couldn’t get any more 90s, it does. Inspired by retro basketball cards, this pair is known as the “Trading Cards” edition. In an effort to bring the hobby back to the streets as its mainstream popularity continues to grow, Nike Sportswear covers these Uptempo’s in a clean sail, black, and team orange colorway. Featuring an all-leather upper with a mesh tongue, black accents the branding throughout. A nod to trading card colors of the past, yellow, blue, and orange are found outlining the classic "AIR" branding with a gradient-like design. Custom printed insoles and visible Max Air cushioning in the midsole round things out.
The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Trading Cards is set to release on March 16th, 2022. It will drop at Nike as well as select retailers worldwide in-store and online. Coming in men’s sizes, retail is set at $160. Keep it locked to our Twitter and Mobile App to stay up to date on future releases.
