Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Animal Instinct

The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Animal Instinct takes a classic court silhouette updated with exaggerated branding and dresses it in patterns and textures that create a jungle vibe. The Animal Instinct Nike Air More Uptempo 96 features a base of smooth white leather with perforations across the upper. The word AIR covers each side of the shoe, from the collar to the bottom of the eye stays. These letters are made from synthetics with patterns reminiscent of zebras, giraffes, leopards, crocodiles, and snakes. The white foam midsole houses visible full-length Air and the white rubber outsole sports extra-large herringbone traction. The feature we enjoy most about this shoe is the placement of the Nike swooshes. A red Nike swoosh adorns the heel tab, white rubber toe cap, midsole, and outsole. The outsole also features a large black Nike swoosh. The Nike Air More Uptempo 96 Animal Instinct was released on November 19, 2022, for $175 retail.
