Official Images // Nike Air More Uptempo “Photon Dust”

The return of the OG Black/White Nike Air More Uptempo this year is just one amongst a sea of colorways expected for the retro hoops shoe, with the silhouette anticipating one of its busiest years in recent times. Joining the already-stacked schedule is this all-new Nike Air More Uptempo “Photon Dust,” which puts an inverted twist on the aforementioned OG colorway.

Flipping white to black and black to white and grey, this pair serves as a nice tribute to the original Uptempo. Here, uppers of nubuck appear in the titular grey hue, with tonal mesh tongues, pulls, eyestays, and sole units. Letter overlays arrive in piercing white letters, with bold black frames to make them pop. Lastly, Nike has equipped the rear Swooshes with metallic silver finishes and EMB-branded insoles.

Grab a first and official look at the Nike Air More Uptempo “Photon Dust” below, and expect to see these hit select Stateside stockists and Nike.com on May 4th.
