Scottie Pippen achieved a remarkable feat in 1996 by securing a gold medal at the Summer Olympics while wearing the Air More Uptempo shoe. This sneaker gained significant attention due to its unconventional design and has since become an iconic silhouette. Keeping the Olympic theme alive, Nike introduced the Air More Uptempo 'Olympic' 2016 Special Box in the same colorway, meticulously crafted with a blue leather build and strategically placed perforations that enhance breathability. The basketball shoe proudly bears the distinctive "AIR" lettering across its side panels, as well as branding on the tongue and toe box, showcasing its brand identity. Furthermore, the shoe boasts an exposed full-length Max Air unit for exceptional comfort. To commemorate Pippen's association with the 1996 Olympic Games, the special box features elegant black and gold detailing, highlighting his iconic jersey number "8."
