Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Remake

PRODUCT BRIEF: a redesign of The uptempo worn by scottie pippen

The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 is an iconic piece of '90s footwear and to this day is one of Nike's most popular shoes. Designed by Wilson Smith, it perfectly captured the era's bold and oversized aesthetic. From Scottie Pippen's court dominance to its Hollywood debut in 'George of the Jungle', this shoe was everywhere.

It is a timeless classic that captured the essence of the '90s. Wilson Smith's iconic design, with its bold 'AIR' branding, has left a mark on sneaker culture.

Inspired by this legendary shoe, I've explored a contemporary interpretation. Maintaining the spirit of the original, I focused on enhancing comfort and modern aesthetics. I believe this redesign pays homage to the classic while offering a fresh perspective.

I made some ads and included the original shoe as one.

I always create my footwear renders with NewArc.aI for the concept rendering, Photoshop for editing and Procreate to sketch out the concept.
