The Story: Nike’s Design Director, Wilson W. Smith, was making headlines in the 90’s with new bold designs for Nike shoes. Smith was inspired to make the Air More Uptempo after seeing a popular trend in pop art & graffiti. It was a huge risk to take, but ended up being one of the most iconic shoes in Nike’s history.
