The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Olympic (2024) updates the OG sneaker worn by basketball player Scottie Pippen at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics with a patriotic colorway. The velvety nubuck construction comes in Midnight Navy, while the exaggerated 'AIR' lettering wraps around the shoe in crisp white. These colors extend over the midsole, which houses a visible air sole unit. Pops of University Red appear on the dual Swoosh logos on the rubber outsole and the Swoosh embroidered on the leather tongue tag. The heel displays a jewel Swoosh in Midnight Navy, complementing the tonal heel pull tabs. Small details that pay tribute to Scottie Pippen include the number 8 in gold on the heel, representing the athlete's Olympic jersey number. The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Olympic (2024) was released on July 26, 2024, and sold for $170. The 2024 reissue brings back the shoe that Scottie Pippen wore during the national basketball team's gold medal run at the 1996 Summer Games. The upper combines a navy nubuck base with contrasting white leather construction on the toe and oversized 'AIR' lettering. A crimson Swoosh adorns the tongue tag, while the back tab displays Scottie Pippen's Olympic jersey number outlined in gold embroidery. The same navy and white design extends into the polyurethane midsole, featuring gold-tinged Air-sole cushioning.
