The Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 is the definitive mid-90’s basketball shoe. The high-cut profile, the aggressive outsole (darn near a work-boot compared to sexy and sleek lines seen in the Zoom Hyperdunk 2011), and the heel-cushioned Max Air piece are all trademarks of that era, and this simple colorway of Black, White, and Dark Shadow exemplifies the simpler nature of color-blocking of the past (no tonal Mint Green or Solar Red here). If you missed out the re-release of the ‘Duke’ colorway, don’t miss out on these because they’re likely to go fast! Take another peek below and hit up Nikestore to secure yours.
