Nike Sportswear‘s upcoming Air More Uptempo is inspired by the pebble grain patterns seen on basketballs in anticipation of the next NBA season.

The upper, tongue, and sole unit, as well as the underfoot and tread, are all treated to a modest serving of a sail hue. The renowned “AIR” inscription is made of burnt orange textured leather with black trim to represent the rubber threading of the ball, a clear nod to the material of both the rock as well as the net it descends through. The model’s origins are reflected in its glossy black Swoosh, which is set among the grainy texture, and its thick nylon laces, which mimic the nets’ stitching.

In keeping with recent special edition releases, this Air More Uptempo will be available in the coming weeks at select Nike stores and online for $175.
