The Nike Air More Uptempo “Cobalt Bliss” is set for a comeback in Fall 2026, marking the return of one of the boldest ’90s basketball sneakers ever to hit the court. Last seen in 2023, this Air More Uptempo retro will arrive with the same SKU, suggesting Nike is bringing it back untouched — and that’s something longtime fans will appreciate.
This pair leans fully into that bulky Uptempo identity: black nubuck, oversized ‘AIR’ lettering, and the clean Cobalt Bliss outline adding a subtle pop of color. It still carries the Scottie Pippen-era energy — loud, unapologetic, and built for presence. I’ve always thought this model walks that perfect line between nostalgic statement piece and wearable street shoe, especially when the color blocking stays simple like this.
Underfoot, visible Air cushioning runs the length of the midsole for that classic, slightly springy ride. The elastic straps and speed lacing system keep it secure, whether you’re hooping or just stepping out.
The Nike Air More Uptempo “Cobalt Bliss” releases Fall 2026 through Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com for $180 USD.
