After a black and white color scheme surfaced last year in the summer heat, the Nike Air More Uptempo Slides are pushing into the new year with cool blue galactic gradients. As one can glean from its all-describing name, these slides are essentially the Nike Air More Uptempo silhouette—best known as the shoe that accompanied Scottie Pippen in his NBA heydays—but with its heels and toe boxes leaned out. The result is the Nike Air More Uptempo’s sport capabilities fitted onto an accessible slip-on. Truly, it’s the spirit of Nike’s lifestyle range, which incorporates performance sensibilities with everyday activities for a maximum comfort.

This latest colorway sees the Nike Air More Uptempo Slides in a black puffy upper, but the signature jumbo “AIR” font has been trimmed with a blue/purple galaxy gradient. Underlying these extravagant elements is a full-length Air unit encased within a cream-colored sole. It’s slides that make a statement in both the visual and comfort departments, that’s for sure.

Possibly your next go-to for the airport, these Nike Air More Uptempo Slides do not have a firm release date, but we expect it to land on SNKRS as the weather turns warmer in the summer. In the meantime, check out official photos in the slider gallery above.

In other Nike news, the AJ1 Mid gets an equally galactic “Space Jam” remake.
