The Nike Air More Uptempo owes it all to Wilson Smith, the designer behind its legendary look. From the big A-I-R on each side to the Air unit underfoot, these kicks blazed a trail on basketball courts in the ‘90s to become a part of Smith’s legacy and Nike’s history. Durable and made to play, this pair honors Smith by weaving things like his signature into the design.
