As we enter the true kickoff of pool & beach season, footwear companies industry wide will ensure you have a bevy of options to pick from to bring their models with you. Amid a slew of quirky, irreverent retoolings, the Nike Air More Uptempo Slides stand at the front of the pack, holding onto the iconic spell-out text as they ready for warmer weather.

While previous editions of Uptempo Slides largely capitalized past mainline colorways (black/white, white/black, red/black), instead the silhouette here charts out on its own. A rich brown strap provides the bulk of the structure, while ever-inescapable off-white textures land underfoot. The AIR text on the “quarter” is understandably the centerpiece of this design, especially when given standout pure white shading across it. With the Uptempo Slides holding onto the maximalist visible air sole underfoot, this poolside takedown is nonetheless one of the more eye-catching offerings you can roll out this summer. Yet the earthy palette for this version makes it a more easily-worn proposition if you do reach for it.

The Nike Air More Uptempo Slide “Brown/Sail” is expected to release this Fall, retailing for $85. Enjoy an official image gallery just ahead.

Sticking with the Swoosh, the Nike x RTFKT Dunk Low hits SNKRS on June 13th, limited to just 1,000 pairs.
