These players the cushion to explode to the rim but the stability and traction to bang down low with the bigger players. Thus the Nike Uptempo line was born. The initial offering from the Uptempo side was technically the Nike Air Up gifted to both Penny Hardaway and Scottie Pippen as the new vanguard of NBA talent.
When dropped the Nike SF Air Force 1 High last year, it turned a lot of heads. This year we have already seen the mid-cut version of this military-inspired model in several colorways, and the response has been the same. The latest Nike SF Air Force 1 Mid "Ivory/Mars Stone" is the latest colorway available and features an Ivory upper comprised of premium leather and durable ballistic nylon. Plus, they also have a removable strap, two zipper closures on the heel, graphic details on the side panel, and sit atop a Mars Stone rubber outsole.
If you’re more of a mid top kind of guy then we’ve got leather mid 77 blazers…with a snakeskin signature Nike swoosh logo design. Not real snakeskin (obviously) but the design on the logo gives the classic white trainer wearer a chance to have something a little different on his Nike Blazers. These designs have made their way onto some pretty big men’s trainer and niche fashion blog sites, so if they’re a great choice for you then you’ll be in great company.
