I snuck n wore my big brother's OG blk n wht ones to high school as a freshman. He came home from work n seen they were gone n we fought on site when I walked in clean as hell in em 😂😂😂 that was our last fight. I stepped it up by that summer n been obsessed n buyin my own sneakers since then
I had a pair of the originals when I was in middle school and got in trouble for playing ball in them. My mom told me they were too expensive to mess up. Also, the sandal version of these shoes are a travesty.
Hey Chris and Jodi, great stuff as usual! Long time viewer (circa 2015?) here. I'm totally okay with the title of this video, but could you guys put the shoe's name in the title (at the end) of the video? It's harder to find the video after the fact (several months/years) when there's no name or the whole shoe is not really visible in the thumbnail (that in itself is fine). If there's either of the two that would be amazing! Thanks for everything.
Saw these a few days ago in a Nike Store and they looked Great. I'll be getting a Pair soon in that Black/Silver but the Red Pairs don't look Bad either. I kinda wish the Swoosh on the Toebox was puffed up.
These and the Crazy 8 lows are two models I did not think would translate into lows, but somehow they managed to pull it off imo. I know it’s a busy time with a bunch of sneaker releases coming up, but would love to see a breakdown of the Crazy 8 lows from you guys!
@ What’s even crazier is they are already going on sale in some places, but my wallet doesn’t mind one bit. Glad the channel came through with a video on those already too!
Oh man I had the all white OGs... actually I still have them. They can't be worn as they are damn near 30 years old the outsole is basically smooth and would turn to dust but I am not getting rid of them. LOL I may have to look into getting those all white lows those are fire!
Pippen used to play in a pair that didn't have air bubbles. They were painted on. He said himself the bubbles used to make his ankles roll all the time, they werent truely meant for performance.
@@WearTesters I didnt know that! I thought he was speaking on the cushioned shoes overall. I just dug up some old olympics pictures and they do look like actual bubbles. Nice to know.
Lows is not the issue, sales prove lows sell way better than mid/highs especially in Asia cuz ppl's distorted perception of the highs are like 9inch boots thinkin it will make them look really short. The bigger issue I have is that they A I R is in white fabric, which you know is reaaally hard to clean once they start to get dirty
I don't care for the extra white below the letters. Too much white for my taste. I had a pair of the og's from the 90's. I remember paying $160 back then, while I worked at a local BK in Cali! 😂 Good review Chris. ✌️
Actually they made them more wearable As ive gotten older, im in my 30s now, I find myself HATING the process of lacing up hightop sneakers Meanwhile I could just slide my feet into lowtops with no hassle Its the reason my Yeezy 350s get so much wear while my Yeezy 750s havent been worn since 2017 My Yeezy QNTMs havent been worn since 2020
The midtop version of the More Uptempo (the base model) has elastic straps doubling the laces, so you can just slide in and keep the laces unlaced (or loosely enough to slip in and out). And even without this, the laces use an early version of the speed lasing things so just pulling on them tightens it enough to lace comfortably. You don't have to pull each row one by one like on traditional hightops.
Glad to know I'm not the only one still rotatin my 25 pairs of Yeezy 350's, and my 12 pairs of Yeezy 700 v1's.. 3 double ups... Unlike Jordan's, our Yeezys will never get retroed.
@@T8RZTOTZ I believe Adidas said that they could still release new Yeezys whenever they want because they own all of the designs and the patents too But I dont think they ever will because they know the hype is dead and that 99% of ex-Yeezy fans have moved on lmao Yeah Yeezy 350s are still in my rotation...my Waverunners have been out of my rotation since around 2 years ago though Now its the 350s, some Asics, some NB, the Adidas Superstar and random nike air max and vapormax models 😅 Gonna cop these too, nice and low for easy wearing
@@joecool9739 I don't think they dare. Seriously. The blow back would be huge. Unless he did some apology tour, Holocaust museum visits etc. In 3-5 years people will be missing this shit for nostalgia reasons. There has never been anyone like Kanye. And Travis Scott is not in his league in my honest opinion. I'm just glad I wa sable to afford to buy shoes I used to dream of, and have an incredible shoe closet with 60 plus of my favorite shoes. Absolutely zero pairs of crap I don't want.
uptempo are a special shoe for me because it was my older brother favorite shoe and the pippen 1s but thos are hard to find, regarding this one looks good to me
Exactly my first thought was the Nike sign should have been white or silver it would have definitely made the shoe stand out more but they are still nice
QOTD: would you rather fly like in DBZ or teleport anywhere like in the movie Jumper? Parameters: you are able to fly in any direction but flying its treated as running (you need to train to increase your stamina to fly faster for longer periods of time), also bugs that may cross your way could be stuck in your face/clothes/gear; you need to practice the teleportation to not destroy your surroundings when using the ability (like in the movie), also you cannot use the teleportation to commit crimes i.e. get yourself inside a bank vault to steal money.
Ordered the grey and red ones, so wait and see. I already had the midtop and the Ambush ones i black and white, it would have been too samy in the collection... But seeing them in the vid the black and white look really clean so I might take another shot at it 😅
It bothers me so much that the A I R is not aligned with the midsole. It's a deal breaker for me. Cool review. By the way, it was hard to find the shoe's name. Thanks!
Dope af, not everything has to be akin to the original. Sometimes a twist on the old school pair can be better. Will be getting these when they inevitably drop on sale.
@3:32 what do designers think of this current regime? I personally don't think much of it all. Last 20-30 years have been a massive race to the bottom, large companies slowly diminishing their products training the customer, if you will, to accept less and to lust for the hype that has little to no substance behind it. I think the concept of revisiting old styles is brilliant. But as a massive Reebok fan I just can't think of anytime it's ever been done well!!!!! Perhaps the Billy hoyles were really well done, they were certainly the best pumps made by anybody in the last 30 years. But I honestly look at the Billy hoyles as an outlier. :)
The More Uptempo might be my all-time favorite Air sneaker. Lows were never needed. But I think AMBUSH did a WAY better job at their attempt than this though.
i actually reeeeeally like these. i thought it was an AI render when i first saw these months ago but was stoked when they were legit. def gonna try and get a pair for casual/gym wear. i like the stuff the left out, makes them a lot more cleaner & sleeker than the retro's IMO
QOTD: Ninja. I'm not into boats. Future QOTD: What are your Halloween costumes this year, and your favorite thing you've ever gone as? OG purist checking in here. I've never felt like it's been essential for me to own a pair of Air More Uptempos--that's just personal preference--but I do think the original design is iconic. I wouldn't have messed with it. I appreciate the review. You got my like and you got my comment. Have a great weekend and see you soon!
Use code [TESTER] to save up to $10 on POIZON for sneakers and luxury goods
Was skeptical about them at first but I actually like these, especially this black colourway.
We need those damn Zoom ones Pippen wore
If only we would be so lucky
I thought the Zooms were custom made for Pippen only? He said he didn't like the big bubble which he says ruined his ankles.
I snuck n wore my big brother's OG blk n wht ones to high school as a freshman. He came home from work n seen they were gone n we fought on site when I walked in clean as hell in em 😂😂😂 that was our last fight. I stepped it up by that summer n been obsessed n buyin my own sneakers since then
😂🤣🤣🤣
I really like the material switch-up on the letters 💪
These are too dope and yes Chris, the triple white are a must
I had a pair of the originals when I was in middle school and got in trouble for playing ball in them. My mom told me they were too expensive to mess up. Also, the sandal version of these shoes are a travesty.
Those are fire. I just got the blue/white Olympic pair (#8) from Shoe Palace. They fit TTS and are more comfortable than most retros.
They almost had these. No puffy letters, keep the lettering shapes but with the piping. Great review matey's.
Hey Chris and Jodi, great stuff as usual! Long time viewer (circa 2015?) here. I'm totally okay with the title of this video, but could you guys put the shoe's name in the title (at the end) of the video?

Picked mine up today. The puffed letters are nice, a twist.

Those crazy 8 lows are cold my guy. I was skeptical too, but man they did a good job on the design.
@ What’s even crazier is they are already going on sale in some places, but my wallet doesn’t mind one bit. Glad the channel came through with a video on those already too!
My younger brother had the original ones in black👌 Man, that’s a long time ago - he died in 2000…At least I still have his Jordan 8s and 9s
Wide footers and people with long toes go up a half size or full size. Because they don't stretch at the toe tip area.
Oh man I had the all white OGs... actually I still have them. They can't be worn as they are damn near 30 years old the outsole is basically smooth and would turn to dust but I am not getting rid of them. LOL I may have to look into getting those all white lows those are fire!
Definitely like these! Love the fit of the highs and having then in a low top? Yeah need to get me a pair lol.
Pippen used to play in a pair that didn't have air bubbles. They were painted on. He said himself the bubbles used to make his ankles roll all the time, they werent truely meant for performance.
He was speaking about the Nike Air Pippen 1. Everyone knows that. This is a different shoe and was never altered for any player.
@@WearTesters I didnt know that! I thought he was speaking on the cushioned shoes overall. I just dug up some old olympics pictures and they do look like actual bubbles. Nice to know.
@@robbierichgannon25 If you wanted to see the Pippen 1 with Zoom then you can here: nickdepaula.com/AARON-COOPER-ZOOM-PIPPEN-1
I have played in these shoes and outdoor grip is astounding. They squeak and don’t slide at all and I am not a skinny player at 5’7” 186
Lows is not the issue, sales prove lows sell way better than mid/highs especially in Asia cuz ppl's distorted perception of the highs are like 9inch boots thinkin it will make them look really short.

🫡I have plenty of the originals. I welcome this addition. Especially, rocking shorts in the summer. I can wear the socks at a different level 👍
These r so siiick I tried them in the store 2 days ago much better than the mids, like what they did with the air on the side👊🏿
I don't care for the extra white below the letters. Too much white for my taste. I had a pair of the og's from the 90's. I remember paying $160 back then, while I worked at a local BK in Cali! 😂 Good review Chris. ✌️
I got the ambush pair I love them !
To remove insoles, u need to wear a lot before doing it. Afterward, wash in the laundry washer for a gentle cycle. That will be work^^
These shoes looks epic on feet. I love em but that "heal pillow" kinda feels weird it hurts sometimes, but the shoe looks cool 😎 😅
Much nicer in person saw them today at the mall and I picked them up. I’m gonna beat these to the ground.😂
That colorway and design remind me of one of my favorite sneaks, the Nike Air Veer!!
The regular ones are my favorite shoes ever, so I've been interested in these. Thanks for the review.
Reminds me of the crazy 8s they made as lows recently, both dope! Hopefully see them on here soon!
I was looking at the thumbnail like "why doesnt it look right" then i actually read it lol. Looks good! Cant wait to scoop up a pair
These look good. Curious to see them in person.
Awesome review as always 🔥
The ambush version was forgettable. I don’t even remember they made one. 😆
Actually they made them more wearable
As ive gotten older, im in my 30s now, I find myself HATING the process of lacing up hightop sneakers
Meanwhile I could just slide my feet into lowtops with no hassle
Its the reason my Yeezy 350s get so much wear while my Yeezy 750s havent been worn since 2017

Look better than the originals to me, waiting on the all black with gum bottums
uptempo are a special shoe for me because it was my older brother favorite shoe and the pippen 1s but thos are hard to find, regarding this one looks good to me
Funny, certain j4 colorways get called the “grade school specials” yet these always seem to get a pass. These were dope when I was like 12.
Look rad. Need to get a pair
Still waiting on the Air Max Sensation (Chris Webber) and Air Huarache Trainer (Bo Jackson)
Ill still take my og black ones anyday. However I do like the color way just not so much that they made it low. Probably a pass for me.
Exactly my first thought was the Nike sign should have been white or silver it would have definitely made the shoe stand out more but they are still nice

Nike probably be making those guys sign NDAs where they cant even speak on Nike in any light that could be perceived as negative

You guys rock 🤘🏼

By the way, it was hard to find the shoe's name. Thanks!
I bought myself a pair Today
Are these comfy tho
Looks like they'll get incredibly dirty, but I do like the switch up. Actually makes them look better tbh.
@weartesters Adidas crazy 8 low next? 👏🏽
what's the difference between these and the Ambush pair?
Team Ninja! Less chances of getting scurvy 😅
Dope af, not everything has to be akin to the original. Sometimes a twist on the old school pair can be better. Will be getting these when they inevitably drop on sale.
Could you review the Puma All Pro Nitro ELITE?
Ambush did the low first and I was like 🤔🤔🤔🤔 might have to fw these
Air Jordan 14 black toe?
Tore my ACL tryna play in the OGs so I feel you
How can i clean this puffer?... someone who knows pls help
I like this design more, I get the same feeling about the J9 lows.
I can vybe with them depending on the colorway!
The all white pair will be coming home with me for sure.
Never touched them yet I feel they are so heavy. I like the Air wording on the sides.
I agree with the initial "wtf" reaction. But certain colors have also made me say "these are kind of dope".
Definitely a Ninja.🥷🏼

Did the air much uptempo have forefoot air?
Guys that hamster gets me every time lmao
Need that all white pair more then clean water
When will the Weartesters Podcast come back??
It won’t. Instead we’ve rolled a mini episode into the end of every review with the QOTD.
George of the jungle shoes, best nike ad placement ever
Benton Fraser wore the Chria Weber's in Due South.
Yall always be fact checking each other! 😂
The More Uptempo might be my all-time favorite Air sneaker. Lows were never needed. But I think AMBUSH did a WAY better job at their attempt than this though.
Those will be in the collection!
Speaking of "ruining a classic" by making a low cut version of said classic, will the Adidas Crazy 8 low also be reviewed?
i actually reeeeeally like these. i thought it was an AI render when i first saw these months ago but was stoked when they were legit. def gonna try and get a pair for casual/gym wear. i like the stuff the left out, makes them a lot more cleaner & sleeker than the retro's IMO
These shits fire. The black and gum bottom joints.
this colorway on these is fire... idk if other ones will but i like this shoe

Check out the Sea Shanty Medley by the all male vocal group, Home Free.
I’ll get a pair when the price drops.
I was going back and forth. I think I'm a grab these while I can. They're not bad at all
Ninja.. yall remember 3 Ninjas. Rocky loves Emily
Hope they make the Olympic colour way I feel like it’s a fresh look and I’m here for it 💯
Sacrilegious nike; bring back the CB34 and Super CB4 line of shoes please. Great review though sir as always.
I dig the Ambush version. These are straight. Maybe if the lacing was different? Or the materials? I dunno.
We need the zoom flight 97s aka the J kidds
That joker cutscene actually made me lol
Love the channel
Ninja all day. No contest. Going off of the same question, would you rather be a Superhero or Anti-hero?
please make uptempo 3 a.k.a. 97 lows
I kinda feeling these cause it's not a straight up cut the top and do nothing else.
I wonder how the penny2s would play now?
Same as they always have. Check the performance review.
They should do an air zoom uptempos ! Replace the max air with max zoom !
And Write ZOOM instead of AIR on the side, could be cool xD
Honestly.. I kinda like these! Although I prefer the OG’s, but these are actually pretty cool!
I actually prefer the ambush version, but these are coo
I like this new edition mid.. it's a killer silhouette
A hell spawn ninja like SCORPION! 🔥
I want this cw next....
Them things is 180 I liked them from back in 96 but I can't do that price
I got the grey and crimson
Team Pirate every day ! Captain sparrow every day !
