After what seemed like an endless wait, an eternity equivalent to three months in the trainer universe, the Ambush x Nike Air More Uptempo Low ‘Limestone’ is now official. The latest sneaker from the swoosh designed by South Korean designer Yoon Ahn, following the February Air Force 1, is unlike any other shoe seen before and it is not just a figure of speech.
On a base of tightly knit mesh, the Ambush Air More Uptempo Low is covered in beige leather “"Limestone"”. The thick dark green laces wrap the shoe and are complemented by a rope-shaped tab around the heel, giving the shoe an idea of sturdiness.

As for the footbed, the midsole has been completely blacked out and features a series of Nike Air bubbles that ensure greater comfort and cushioning on the court. It should not be forgotten that we are dealing with a basketball shoe, after all. Naturally, one cannot talk about this silhouette without mentioning the “"AIR"” branding, oversized on the lateral and medial sides. Accentuated in a “Sulfur” yellow, this unique design is a truly special Uptempo.

Created by Wilson Smith in 1996, the overall aesthetic of the Air More Uptempo has not changed at all in the last 27 years, but the Ambush version revolutionizes things. Unlike other colorways and collaborations of the past, including the 2017 Supreme collection, nicknamed Suptempo for obvious reasons, this is the first low-top version of the Uptempo available: an absolute novelty, especially for those who are not too interested in basketball sneakers.
