UPDATE: Fresh photos of the 'Reflective' have emerged. Coming straight from the Swoosh themselves, we finally have a chance to peep the make-up's reflective qualities in action. Outlining the bold 'AIR' lettering that adorns both the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, Nike have managed to achieve the impossible by making the Air More Uptempo's defining feature even more ostentatious. The rope laces and matching rope pull tabs appear to also be laced with reflective properties.
No release date has been announced for the Nike Air More Uptempo 'Reflective' at this stage, but with official photos on the loose, you can be sure these will be dropping on real soon.
UPDATE: Scotty Pippen's Nike Air More Uptempo has been burnt in to the minds sneakerheads since the 90s – and now the upcoming version is likely to scald that 'AIR' lettering into the retina of any unsuspecting onlooker.

The ‘Reflective’ Air More Uptempo is a twist on the classic number. Black abounds on the upper like the original, but white around the oversized ‘AIR’ branding has been swapped for a reflective outline. The laces have also been threaded with the light-reflecting material to make any of you flashy on-court footwork even flashier.
