Nike Air More Uptempo “Bulls” Returns April 16th

Select Model

Though it could be quite easily mistaken for an original colorway thanks to its extreme likeness to Scottie Pippen’s Bulls uniforms, the Nike Air More Uptempo “Hoop Pack” aka “Bulls” was actually an Asian-exclusive colorway that made its debut back in 2005. It got its foot into the American market back on April Fool’s Day in 2017, and since released as a GS-exclusive. If you managed to miss out during the epic resurgence of the Uptempo a few years back, Nike is giving you another chance this month.

Arriving as a straight reproduction of the 2017 release, you can expect identical red nubuck construction — save the subtle pop of white leather in the A and R voids — as well as red mesh tongues, and white liners, laces, pulls, and sole units. The sneaker’s signature lettering arrives in an awesome black patent leather finish for maximum contrast and is highlighted even further by bright white trim. Most Swooshes arrive in black, too, save the forefoot and rear jewel, and the pair is completed by the OG Uptempo branding at the heel.

A release date for this Nike Air More Uptempo “Hoop Pack” aka “Bulls” has been set by the Swoosh for April 16th, 2021, with pairs available right here from Nike.com from 10 am ET on the day in Adults, Grade School, and Pre School sizing.
