Nike Air More Uptempo Olympic Detailed Look
Jul 29, 2008 | Comments 10
Though we all tend to focus on the 1992 Olympics and the Dream Team, with good reason, we should not forget that Team USA repeated their Gold Medal performance in 1996 at Atlanta. Lead by Scottie Pippen, a returning player from the original Dream Team, Team USA continued their Basketball dominance to win the Gold medal on the team's home soil. During his 1996 Olympic run Scottie Pippen wore the Nike Air More Uptempo, a sneaker that the World could not help but notice due to the huge AIR emblazoned on the side. To commemorate Scottie's Gold Medal winning performance in the Nike Air More Uptempo, Nike recently released the "Olympic" Nike Air More Uptempo exclusively at the House of Hoops by Foot Locker in Harlem. Though not the original colorway that Scottie wore on the Olympic court, the "Olympic" Nike Air More Uptempo features a White upper with a Navy trim and Red accents at the eyelets and Swoosh.
The "Olympic" Nike Air More Uptempo is available now at the House of Hoops by Foot Locker in Harlem, New York.

I say "NO" to these. Why? Because they should've just retroed the originals, from '96 to "commemorate" that Gold medal run (DUH)! It would've made more sense, honestly. I miss mine badly.
I like this design? but I would take off the "AIR" on the side??? and just have the OG Swoosh on the side classic style!!! yep yep...
^ u r talking about another kix, aint u?
lmfao, take of the air? then it is not air more uptempo anymore!
it seems like HOH gettin all the good **** recently huh?
i hate HOH! seriously
^^Tat would be fugly, What's wrong with u N'credibo!!! The AIR is what makes the sneaker different. They are ok but not my style.
there is no og swoosh, this is the original shoe design
he's an "OG sneaker head"
quit picking on him or he'll bust out his exclusive DS kicks dating back to '05
N'credibo, I have a feeling you're talking about the Air Uptempo Max kicks. These and those aren't the same.
They are ill. I need to holla at a new yorker.
I NEED THAT number 33 in the back sorry Nike im gonna pass
Hi!
