The Nike Air More Uptempo Slide Returns in North Carolina Colors

The newly-introduced Nike Uptempo Slides have quickly made a name for themselves by creatively adapting classic colorways from their sneaker counterparts. One example is the latest rendition, drawing inspiration from the 2017 Nike Air More Uptempo "University Blue."

This newest colorway of the Uptempo Slides nods to the University of North Carolina's signature hues, featuring the same vibrant Carolina Blue seen in the 2017 sneaker release. The slide maintains the Air More Uptempo's bold aesthetic, with the iconic “AIR” overlays presented in stark white leather. These overlays cleverly descend into the midsole, where the design subtly incorporates the sneaker’s distinctive air bubble feature.

The rest of the slide is crafted in eye-catching Carolina Blue leather, replete with perforations for enhanced breathability. It makes them perfect for summer wear or as a comfortable option for casual outings. The mesh lining further ensures comfort, keeping with the slide's focus on relaxed, easy-to-wear footwear.
