The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Black Star Blue features a straightforward make-up with a black base and Summit White and Sail accents. This sneaker has an all-leather construction in black with contrasting Sail on the midsole. Bold, bubble-like ‘AIR’ letters appear on the side panels with a thin outline in Sail. The midsole and the Swoosh logo on the toebox also come in Sail, while the laces, heel, and tongue pull tabs, and rubber outsole come in black. However, the splashes of Star Blue differentiate this sneaker from others, appearing on the heel’s jewel-like Swoosh logo, the tiny Swooshes on the midsole, and the large Nike branding on the rubber outsole. Our experts appreciate the subtle, crystal-clear Air cushioning that extends the length of the shoe and complements the minimalist upper design. The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Black Star Blue was released on March 30, 2024, and sold for $180.
