Nike’s impending Roswell collection has grown by one more, with the resurgent Nike Air More Uptempo “Raygun” joining the themed collection.

Originally surfacing on the SB Dunk back in 2005, the theme is a reference to a fictional 1970s ABA franchise imagined by a 2002 Nike ad campaign, the Roswell Rayguns, is one of the brand’s most memorable mock-ups alongside Charlie Murphy’s Leroy Smith, and Michael Jordan’s Johnny Kilroy. It has since gone on to serve many custom creps, but also official releases from Nike. More recently, 2018 saw a very limited “Raygun” Kyrie 3 in reference to the All-Stars interest in skating, and back in December 2019, Nike released two tie-dyed sequels to the original “Raygun” SB Dunks that served as a tribute to the late Nike SB Godfather Sandy Bodecker. Now, barely a year on from that pack comes another, with this Nike Air More Uptempo “Raygun” (GS Pictured) joining the previously-previewed Air Force 1 Low, Blazer Mid, Air Raid, and Kyrie 7 for release this Fall.

Much like the pack’s other inclusions, the More Uptempo brings its own flavor to the theme, this time keeping things classic in its white leather construction, all while adding significant flair through colorful letter embellishments and a heap of action above the ankle. The latter bears pulls, liners, and tongue tags in a trio of themed colors, while a Roswell Rayguns basketball motif rests in the rear. Elsewhere, you’ll find flashes of red and golden yellow at the pair’s multiple Swooshes and Air supports, and the pair is complete with collection-consistent RAYGUNS-branded insoles.

Though the release for the accompanying pack is set for January 15th, a release date for the Uptempo is yet to be confirmed. Until further news arrives, grab a full look at the gallery here below, and be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
