Nike launched the Air More Uptempo '96 QS 'Light Aqua' September 2019, updating the shoe made famous by Scottie Pippen with an ocean-colored suede base and distinctive 'AIR' lettering in black leather. This iteration mirrors the aesthetic of the original hoops sneaker designed by Wilson Smith, with dual pull loops, perforated strips and boot-like eyestays. A jeweled Swoosh logo stands out on the heel, and full-length Max Air cushioning delivers a soft, smooth ride.
