About the Nike Wmns Air Force 1 Low Upstep "Uptown"

The nickname on the heel is the older name for the shoe. The Air Force 1 became a fixture in Harlem in the years after its release, and Uptowns is what it has been called in New York ever since, long enough that the word needs no explanation to anyone who grew up with it. Nike embroidering it onto a women's build is the brand stating the obvious out loud.

The upper is tumbled leather in University Red, given texture rather than a flat finish, and a white arrow shape sweeps across it and wraps the panels, breaking the single block of color. Underneath sits the Upstep midsole, a raised version of the standard tooling that adds height without changing the profile of the shoe above it. Upstep builds were priced above the ordinary low-top, and this one came in at $140. The extra cost is in the tooling and the leather, not the branding.
