Where sneakers and hip hop are concerned, 1996 marks a revolution that changed each respective culture forever and for the better. Jay Z released Reasonable Doubt, Nas followed-up Illmatic with It Was Written, Outkast dropped a masterpiece called ATLiens, and Pac proved double discs were indeed viable with All Eyes On Me.
Nike, shaping sneaker culture like those aforementioned albums did for hip hop, debuted the Air More Uptempo. Equally a marvelous statement in terms of genius branding, the Nike Air More Uptempo OG orbits again in 2016.
More colorways are slated for release later this year, but the original black and white pair is up for grabs now at Foot Locker. Peep the Launch Locator for stores in your area and stay tuned for more Nike retailers stocking the shoe soon.
