The Nike Air More Uptempo NYC is a limited-edition sneaker that pays tribute to the city of New York. The upper is made of a combination of leather and nubuck, with perforations for breathability. It features a large, visible Nike Air unit in the midsole for cushioning and impact protection, while the durable rubber outsole has a herringbone pattern for traction. Lined with soft textile material, the padded collar and tongue offer additional support and comfort. Our experts say that the standout feature is the large 'NYC' lettering that covers most of the upper, set against a Wolf Gray leather background with white and Midnight Navy lettering. Released on December 20th, 2017, at a price of $170. First popularized by Scottie Pippen in the late 90s, this sneaker is part of the limited edition 'City Series' pack, with Yankees-inspired colors in this 'NYC' iteration, featuring a leather and Durabuk upper with molded eyestays and a traditional lacing system. The 'NYC' and Swoosh detailing are exaggerated on the sides and counter, while a full-length visible Max Air unit remains faithful to the original design.
